Hang on, he said don’t go to pubs. Yet a few days later on here loads were saying they were still going. Either those people are thick, deliberately ignoring advice, OR the advice has been massively confused. Fact is people are a mix. Some don’t care, some have good intentions but then find it impossible to follow and others are generally confused. Nobody can say the advice has been clearly delivered. Unlike the budget pronouncements which are specific and crystal clear. The advice has been hotch potch. It doesn’t help they changed strategy last weekend. It doesn’t help that seemingly elements of the government including Boris aren’t comfortable with the advice, he was waffling on the other day about going to visit his mum on mother’s day before Downing Street had to issue a correction saying he’d do it via Skype the same day he had to ask everyone not to see their mothers. A lockdown here is inevitable and it’s a mixture of having a lot of idiots here and also of poor decision making and communication from government, especially initially. Fuelled by major disagreement behind the scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise now idea how a good number of professional teams are still in training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The communication is clear. But, also, does it matter as long as the populations are kept apart? as long as older folks, and other vulnerable, keep away, then it should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The communications can’t be clear when you are repeating an aim that died last weekend. The aim is suppressing the total number of cases. Entirely. Irrespective of age. Like Italy, France etc are trying to do. The model of trying to keep older people and vulnerable people separated (in truth half the country) and let herd immunity deal with the rest is discredited. The plan has been now to keep cases as low as possible. Which is why they closed schools and are appealing to people of all ages to stay inside. Soon it won’t be an appeal but a rule.

Exercise in parks responsibly is bollocks. People don’t know what that means. We will be locked down because our government can’t give clear advice. Strurgeon, Sadiq Khan said don’t go out. Simple as that. Boris is waffling about exercise in green parks responsibly. It’s bollocks. Edit: he’s just been called out on this by a journalist finally. Utter crap. It's perfectly clear, to all but the cranially challenged. The social distancing etc has been banged home. People choosing to ignore that for whatever reason isn't the government's fault. Nor the medical experts' fault. Just plain ignorance. Those on lockdown are still able to go to work and even go for a walk in other countries, so long as they print of a form. More about social responsibility and attitudes; of which constantly blaming someone else eg the government is a prime example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 1 hour ago, bwfcfan5 said: That’s why kids have been playing in parks this weekend. Parks full of them. Why groups of adults have been walking and running together. If I went for a run I cannot guarantee I won’t come close to others. Not out of my house. People need to be told very clearly what this means. If you take kids to a park you cannot guarantee a 2m distance, it’s impossible. Therefore should be told clearly, not to. That’s an enforcement issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Surely no-one is actually surprised at how people are behaving? We're a country full of spoiled, entitled fuckers who put themselves before the whole - why would people behave any differently to how they are now.

Our lockdown will need to be essential workers only out. Everyone else can only go out for medicine or food. And there should be strict limits on how that works. Cos idiots will still be packing into Tesco soon as it opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t stop them. That’s the problem. The only way to comply with government advice is to go with your kids for a walk etc or to not let them out. That’s what I’m doing - taking them in the garden for garden cricket, football etc. But if I had no garden I’d have to consider whether it was possible to go outside and comply with advice. You see large groups of kids playing and ultimately that’s the risk. And the very clear advice is for kids to go out for walks or bike rides but be minimum of 2M apart from others apart from family they live with at all times. And not to mix outside of living family. So again you’re suggesting something contrary to the advice you say is really clear. Edited March 22, 2020 by bwfcfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some time ago you said Boris was very liberal. Usual individual said that was bollocks. Now he's showing exactly that: it's not his fault the public can't respect that and take the piss. See them fucking moan when he has to lock them down and fine them for going out without due cause. Perhaps even refuse to give them their 80% if they're going to abuse the situation whilst off.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 22, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2020 That is the issue; the Govt. is saying that it's ok to take the kids to the park. The problem is, that advice goes to everyone so it's everyone turning up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
