Major incident declared in Bournemouth as thousands of people flock to beaches

They are just showing some guts.

Not all of us want to hide in our pillow forts forever like you.

State of those beaches - why do people have to be so scummy with their litter. They should just close them for a period of time and fine every twat that ignores it.

why do people have to be so scummy with their litter

Find it so sad. When lockdown first started we saw how quickly things changed environmentally. May only have been superficial but it was glaring obvious. Had hoped that might make people consider their behaviour but obviously not.

“It’s only one bit of litter though and nobody saw, the cleaners will get it”

If only there was some way he could easily communicate with the public. Maybe some sort of daily briefing where the scientists are actually allowed to speak.

Basically saying common sense, why do you need a briefing for that

Bournemouth beach

Bournemouth beach

People wanting to live their lives on the hottest day of the year and go outside after being in lockdown for 13 weeks, shouldn’t have been as many people there though but who’s gonna police it

Have you been in a bubble for the last 48 hours and not seen any news?

So breaking social distancing is "common sense"?

No so thusly it appears people still need to be told this.

Errr have you seen Bournemouth beach today?

Common sense brigade obviously.

We can’t be locked away because of a few idiots, no thanks I’ll rather get back to some sort of normal like most people want

 

[David O'Day]

Do you even read what people have actually said?

No one has mentioned anything about being "locked away", people are talking about how the CMO can try and tell people they are being idiots.

Read peoples posts you twat and you won't look quite so stupid.

You can go outside/not be 'locked away' without packing a beach. Common sense would have seen most of those people take one look at the beach and say "nah, not today". Go somewhere less crowded so can distance. But they didn't.

What news?

Major incident declared in Bournemouth as thousands of people flock to beaches
Hove lawns 'trashed' after violence erupts between groups of youths
Fights break out in massive gathering of youths on Hove Lawns
Police injured during illegal street party clashes
‘I was spat at directing beach traffic'

In other news I see WHO have observed the first increase in weekly cases for months across Europe as restrictions are eased.

Regional Director Dr Hans Henri Kluge described it as a "very significant resurgence", and said warnings about the risk of resurgence had become reality.

If left unchecked, he warned health systems would be "pushed to the brink".

Do you think we should water cannon them - you seem to believe in state control

But I’m in Suffolk.

Just because you are terrified and want to hide for the rest of your life and want to cry don’t take it out on everyone else.

Guessing there might be a bit of a mass gathering outside Anfield right about now as well.

Oh dear, the who trying to make people live in fear for the foreseeable future, no thanks most people actually want to start living again and going out and doing things

Yet not surprising.

Why would the WHO want people to live in fear?

Constantly bringing up second waves and saying about how countries are lifting too early, didn’t they cover it up in the first place

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No I mean why would they want to? What point would there be?

 

[skybluetony176]

Constantly bringing up second waves and saying about how countries are lifting too early, didn’t they cover it up in the first place

With their own set of figures instead of using the ONS figures, with manipulation of test data to make it sound like they’re testing more people than they actually are, not putting themselves up in front of certain political commentators because they’ll ask the difficult questions, telling bare face lies in parliament. Things like that to cover things up? Is that what you mean?

This afternoon I witnessed 10 guys playing footy with tops of. Footy tennis, one of the teams won to huge roars, chest pumps, hugs, even a pile on. They then stood up, went over the the opposition and did the fist pump we now see instead of a handshake. Hilarious. Oh how I howled. Oh wait no, it's fucking shambolic
