Billy Jean King Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Sky saying the police estimate upwards of 400,000 day trippers on the Dorset coast alone. Staggering if true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markka Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Scenes at the station a disgrace. The kids used to pile onto trains from Glasgow to the Ayrshire coast a few years ago until the police simply stopped them boarding (the train) up the line. Will need something similar to prevent those sort of scenes here. Clearly no one in England gives a flying f**k, police and govt included. I travelled down to Ayrshire from Glasgow by train last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. No wee neds on the train. Couple of steaming middle aged jakey wummin on the train back though.Wasn't at the coast itself, but heard it was pretty busy, hopefully just with locals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 9 minutes ago, Eddie Hitler said: Agreed that protests were not necessarily wise in the pandemic. Folk need to stop being children about everything though. The 'he did it!' whataboutery response (and I am not saying you are saying this, but it's been a common refrain for weeks 'oh, but they did it for their protest!') is the level of argument I would expect out of an immature wean. Ditto with Cummings; he's a walloper and Boris is a p***k for keeping him in post but we don't all have to be 'monkey see, monkey do' about everything if we don't think something is a good idea but just want to use someone else's behaviour as an excuse to do our own thing. I completely agree. It is clear that a lot of people who went to the protests or indeed the beach have breached the guidelines (large family/friend outings and no attempt at distancing for example) . Train usage is another issue here, given that should've been easily preventable. This doesn't make either of them right, and it certainly doesn't excuse people thinking they can do x because other people did it, or did y which is similar; that is indeed a stupid way to view the world. I just find the outrage over it boring, and the whataboutery over one event of it being fine/not fine tedious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that people are in tears or on the verge of tears is a common meme on here and, apart from Rangers fans, few people posting on here are likely to be reguarly in tears over posts. ^^^Scrambling for relevance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't mean we shouldn't open up, but it's not just as simple as saying oh well have a local lockdown. The world beating track and trace system down south is an utter shambles, and f**k knows what we have in place up here. I would very much doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 England appears to be a tinder box just now you can almost sense some serious rioting brewing. Perfect storm lockdown ending, BLM and pubs about to reopen. Expect the cities to explode a bit in the coming weeks like we saw last night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 331 Tory MP's voting against weekly testing of NHS and care staff. Clapping for them was clearly as far as they were willing to go. Utter scumbags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I suppose looking at those pictures from English beaches it'd be interesting to know if similar behaviour has been seen on the continent with no noticeable rises in rates. You see it and think Well we're fucking arseholes, but then I don't know if that's unfair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
