[News] Bournemouth Beach - Major Incident Declared

[LamieRobertson]

I wish MPs and media commentators would stop with the outrage and accusations.

People want to enjoy themselves, leisure facilities are closed, summer holidays abroad are cancelled. You can't blame anyone for thinking a trip to the beach might be nice on a sunny day.

I think you’ve got the throng thread ..this is the ‘outrage one’

The Camber road was closed earlier, both car parks closed abandoned cars on road

Not usually one for pedantry but it's really annoying me now that so many people are referring to face masks being mandatory on public transport it's a face covering of some kind, it doesn't have to be a mask

I used to have an asthma related illness as child and still technically have it now. Had to wear a facemask when in Worthing Hospital the other day to drop something off for my mother (not covid related) and I found it really difficult to breath even for the 15 minutes I was inside the hospital. I knew I would have difficulties wearing a face covering before it was announced by the government and this confirmed it for me, but as someone that would find it difficult to, I would hate to get on public transport with so many other people not wearing one. What the don't get is that its for other peoples protection if you pre-symptomatic, not your protection.

Went for a walk to our local seafront in goring last night, never seen it as busy, massive groups of youngsters everywhere.

As an aside, I am currently on a bus in Brighton. Masks are “mandatory” according to the government website; I am literally the only person wearing one. As many mistakes as the government have made, I can’t help but think if there is a second wave then the public will have a lot to answer to.

That’s precisely what the government want, “not our fault guv, you clearly didn’t stay alert when we threw open the doors” - unfortunately the British public have once again proved themselves to be idiots. Can’t wait for the pubs to open!

It’s almost like ambiguous advice, naff sound bites and trusting the public to sensibly negotiate a pandemic was a bad idea. Who could have predicted such a thing?

One thing is for sure, I’ll never criticise a horror director/ writer for making a person go in to the murder basement ever again

 

[A mex eyecan]

wait and hear them all moan when they get ill. Still in true fashion they will all blame anyone but themselves.

Doesn’t really matter if ‘guidance’ says it’s ok or not , whatever happened to thinking for yourself.

moronic

How many weeks ago was it, that we saw the picture of all those people cramed together on the beach at Durdle Door?
The infection rate in Dorset is still amongst the lowest in the country. You get it indoors. Much more concerned about a lack of face coverings on public transport than crowded beaches to be honest.

FFS - the stampede of political pricks didn't take long did it?

Surely the trains from London will have been packed today? People don't tend to travel to Durdle Dor by public transport.

It's almost like relying on "British common sense" rather than actual enforced rules isn't the best idea anyone's had.

I agree. Just sad that some will see that as a political comment and disregard it. Idiots have been given the freedom to be idiots by idiots.

I imagine not as bad as Hove Lawns last night

Trains=public transport?

What rules would you set and how would you enforce them?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Trains=public transport?

Well yes, that's my point.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Well yes, that's my point.

Ah...I read that differently

...just that getting to Durdle Dor...is kind of a car job..ye?

 

[Weststander]

Trains=public transport?

Your first ever NSC mistake?

Was he referring to London to Brighton trains?

But wherever to Durdle Dor by car?

 

[Uncle C]

Try this for an idea. Don’t bother cleaning up the beaches at all. Just leave the crap for the next days tripper. They should feel right at home.

Lol..first? Cough ..you mean first today....
