But putting it into law I would assume keeps the numbers low. And a couple of traffic cops can take a drive along border roads throughout the day. And stop any car they see on a quiet road. Nice big fine as well if you don't have a good reason to be out. I don't see why any trains should be running either. Aye, that'll work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freight is essential and bar essential reasons I can't think there is too much cross border traffic right now. Where would folk be going with everything tourism related basically closed as well as non essential retail. Don't think too many Londoners are heading up for a weekend in Edinburgh right now ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. Just saying that's how it should have been all year. Imagine how life would be right now if that was the case. People could still be visiting people on the fly. That's only not a problem, if there's no spread where they are, and where they're going. And obviously we nobody was trying to stop goods coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First lockdown was a dream with almost zero cars on the road, November was business as usual and this current one is more like November than March for sure. *My daily bit of exercise, but yes I suppose there's an element of hypocrisy in me going out on the roads and bemoaning everyone else being out in their cars. Wee update on this, been for a cycle today through a couple of (usually fairly quiet) parks in London and they were both pretty fucking busy. Wasn't exactly Oxford Street Christmas shopping numbers, but definitely the sort of levels you'd expect in the summer on a fairly nice day. Starting to understand why they called it the Great Plague of London now. Of course, this really comes down to the fact that - despite the English government calling it a lockdown - they've let any c**t who owns a business declare their workers are essential if they fancy it. As such, lots more people are going into work than the March-May lockdown last year, which in turn means more kids are still going into schools because the parents fancy some phree childcare. Then all the families go for a nice big walk in the crowded parks on the weekend when they actually have some time off. It's really simple, tighten up on what counts as an essential worker and people will have fewer reasons to be out driving, commuting etc. Then you can 'crack down' on the people who are actually flouting the rules like Hancock's been threatening this morning. As of now, why should anyone be punished for not following lockdown rules when employers all over England are getting away with it on an industrial basis? ETA: ignore the caption as I don't agree with it*, but the photo taken is just a case in point about the differences of this 'lockdown' and last spring's. Get these fucking places closed man they are not in any way essential. *However, if you're ever needing to find a good pub in London that charges under £5 for a pint then that's the account for you.

coprolite Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Sergeant Wilson said: Do you think the resource is available or that it would be legal to stop all traffic and other transport? Wales stopped all non essential border crossing while not quite in lockdown. That's not the same as cutting it off completely but i guess Scotland could do similar and it would be easier to enforce on a shorter border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any evidence that this declaration was effectively enforced? There's clearly none to show that is has helped them contain the pandemic, as they've been absolutely riddled with it for months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it was just the same as SG advice without much practical implementation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing apart from a few photo opportunities for Twitter, as far as I could tell. Turns out the only thing a bunch of part-time Welsh volunteers can successfully keep out is Angelo Alessio's Kilmarnock. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like Wales did before us. No where near enough police officers to fulfill that function in Scotland. There also isnt border control infrastructure on main routes let alone at Coldstream etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
