If the government had only ditched its worse than useless five mile travel restriction then people wouldn't be crammed in like sardines into the most well-known public space in the country's largest city on the hottest day of the year. The update is quite telling about the police's attitude to their lockdown powers though: Quote UPDATE: Inspector Lesley Docherty, of Partick Police Office, said: “The regulations remain that people should only leave the house for very limited purposes, for example for basic necessities, for exercise or recreation, for medical needs or travelling for work which cannot be done from home. Well no they're not Lesley - those regulations were in fact quite clearly expanded to include (among other things) using parks and open public spaces for sunbathing etc. fully a month ago. So the polis seem to be turning a legitimate reason of intervening to break up larger gatherings into a 'none of you should be here anyway' power trip for themselves, to the surprise of absolutely nobody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I suppose if folk keep predicting a second wave is incoming after every single major perceived mass gathering they might eventually get it right. A bit like a stopped clock.FWIW, the brief skim I had of BBC website after work today had infections continuing to drop despite there bow having been long enough to see various lifting of restriction take effect. Not going for the full "second wavers" chat, and nor will I ever criticise anyone for shoeing the Tories, but the fact of the matter is I dint see how anyone can justify the "too fast" chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hospitals ready? Morgues ready? Lying politicians ready? Second wave incoming 3-2-1 We must surely be on our 4th or 5th wave by now after the VE Day parties, various illegal raves, the mass protests or the last time folk went to the beach. That's not to say that I agree with thousands of folk descending on beaches today but, at the same time, there's been no indication of a second wave so far despite numerous other instances where large numbers of people have breached the rules.If a second wave happens, it happens but at this point I really don't see the point in getting worked up over something which as far as I can see is in no way guaranteed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 The ref from Gladiators was an athletics and gymnastics coach all over Scotland, very well regarded according to people I know who worked with him. I once played Fives in Inverness sports centre and on the other side of the curtain he was coaching kids gymnastics. It was disappointing that he never used his catchphrase.Anyway, we’ve had one round of beaches filling, the VE Day street parties, BLM protests and the easing of lockdown. No spikes in cases yet. Hopefully it continues after this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 After the positives news about restrictions easing and normal life slowly resuming yesterday. Today the media are back to scaremongering and trying to put the fear back into people. During the news there was a report about Bournemouth beach being heaving and it a “major incident”, Kelvingrove Park cleared by police and also how Europe has suffered the biggest jump in new cases for months. The media fcking love “bad” news regarding Covid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) TBF the 'revellers' in kelvingrove didn't look from the videos I saw to be likely to be doing that instead of going somewhere a bit quieter, a bit further away. If anything they mostly looked like horned up teenagers who would struggle to be old enough to drive and would be there specifically because it would be packed, or west end ecto casualties finishing off last nights night out Edited June 25, 2020 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that big park in the middle of an essentially landlocked bowl of a city that they're all clamouring for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just now, Miguel Sanchez said: Going to bed, they've got school in the morning. It's the last day tomorrow, they'd be looking out their Cluedo. The real answer is, they would be doing no harm, just like they are tonight. It's totally different to taking a Jolly Boys Outing to the south coast and going to the beach, in my opinion anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
