Bugger off! It's none of your business.

Nor yours, FWIW (unless you're an alias of the OP). The difference
is that I was polite and made a positive suggestion.

Basically Bills view on the world is that if you can afford it, and
presumably it's not actually illegal, he / anyone should be allowed
to do it, no matter how much it might impact anyone / thing else.


He is.

Except, things change and then he can't. In many cases a group of
people already know that the changes are afoot and change before they
are forced to, simply because it's the *right thing* to do.

I realise '*right thing* simply isn't on the radar of a selfish
minority and they will inevitably spoil it for the majority.

How do you define the "right thing" though? More to the point, who's
agenda is being satisfied with the chosen value of "right"?

So, you decide that providing radiant warmth for those sitting outside
is morally wrong. Perhaps those that are unable to visit their loved
ones inside due to social distancing rules, would disagree with you, and
argue that protecting their mental health is more important and hence
the right thing to do.

What about if the heat source is "carbon neutral" (if that is the reason
you object to radiant space heating)? Or is that then just a slippery
slope to BBQing some unfortunate mammal that we previously raped without
it's prior written consent?

I saw something on Youtube re some folk who were living in their vans

Sorry I missed the post where Bill elected you to be his spokesman.

Thanks John, some sanity.

Life is all about choices, but there are few automatically "wrong"
choices, just ingrained prejudices.
[Like Bill and his Marxists. I consider myself left wing and I'm the one
wanting to heat my veranda.]

Well spotted that one of the reasons for having an outdoor area heated in
the winter is to allow social mixing (within the law) with a reduced risk
of infection.
