More shameful cronyism — and all on a failing system. I don’t want to hear about what the country can and cannot afford when this government continues to spend millions (and beyond) on their friends. During a pandemic.

 

Disgrace

This is disgusting. He should be fined heavily or better still imprisoned.

 

From Sky News.

 

TESCO staff watched in horror as a man went on a rampage through the aisles in a hissy fit after 'being asked to wear a mask.'

 

The man was filmed running amok - pulling crisp and popcorn packets to the ground at the Ealing store in London.

 

It is understood the customer had gone into the store last month without a mask, with staff asking him to put on a face covering or leave.

 

But instead the man went wild - shouting and swearing.

 

He then stormed down the confectionary aisle throwing anything he could reach on to the floor.

 

 

Hundreds of packets of crisps, popcorn and chocolate ended up on the ground and were kicked around by the man.

 

In the video, shocked staff in protective gear can be seen standing at the end of each aisle while customers watched on in horror.

 

Met Police confirmed they had been called to the Uxbridge Road store in Ealing about 9pm on September 22 to reports of anti-social behaviour.

 

They said: "Officers arrested a man on suspicion of criminal damage. He was further arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm in relation to an alleged assault (minor injury) on a staff member at the store."

 

Soren Birch of Greenford was then bailed with conditions to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on 25 November to answer charges of intending to destroy or damage property, and assault by beating.

That’s psycho. Things that blacksquare posted are disgusting.

So here in London we're in Tier 2 from midnight tomorrow. No household mixing indoors. The wife won't be happy as she can't go to her friend's.

 

 

Gt. Manchester and Lancashire heading for Tier 3 soon.

It's alright, it will be a circuit breaker the week after. They are delaying the inevitable.

 

The problem is loads of people will still continue to do things. Think it will take a couple of weeks for it to work out with the public how perilous the situation is (probs with myself too). We've gone from having 3 months where Covid isn't here to pretty much a lockdown again. This winter is going to be bleak. The longer term both physical and mental effects of Covid are going to be with us for a generation.

So the government's response to the scenes of people in Liverpool making use of their last opportunity to go to the pub is to allow Londoners to do exactly the same. On a Friday night.

Manchester's mayor is still pushing back on Tier 3 restrictions without any viable financial support available. Good on him!

 

I expect we still will go to Tier 3 but it'll hopefully come with some additional financial support ....maybe.

This is disgusting. He should be fined heavily or breter still imrisoned.

Unfortunately that's the sort of thing shop workers have to potentially put up with if they try and enforce mask wearing :(

Yay Essex up to Tier 2 :nocheer:

Yay Essex up to Tier 2 :nocheer:

 

It's alright I'm up to Tier 2 now. Our main problem is students, which in turn has began to spread to the community. There might as well be a circuit breaker when every major city in the UK is under restrictions.

All the Londoners moaning about going into Tier 2 when literally the whole of the North have been in it (mostly) for two months or so now and don't care then. The selfishness and entitlement jumped out!

This is horrifying. Test and Trace is a shambles.

 

That France said the UKs was better has me seriously concerned about just how bad the French system is!!

Yeah, but isn't this the problem. The restrictions have not worked in the North West, but apparently they're now going to work for everyone else?

 

Honestly think until you close Universities and schools we're always going to be fighting a losing battle. It sucks, but it's the truth.

Agreed; any measures that Twat Hancock spoke about today have already failed elsewhere.

 

To be honest everywhere is f***ed no matter what is done until there is a vaccine. If you close everywhere the economy is f***ed, if you leave places open then the virus spreads more. However whilst I don't think there are easy answers, the Government just seem to be making everything worse by messing about with restrictions that have failed, going against what the scientists have said,

 

I guess they need to work out - if they want to keep the economy going then they shield the vulnerable and people with pre-exisiting conditions and focus on that, then let everyone get on with their lives and just let the virus spread until you get the 'herd immunity'

 

If they want to stop the spread of the virus, then they need to follow the scientists more and lock everywhere down.

 

Whatever they're doing at the moment is just pointless waffle which isn't helping anyone. This would be a sh!t time for a good government, let alone this bunch of clowns that don't know what they're doing

Well yeah, so I don't see quite why people moan about it. They haven't imposed or enforced ANYTHING in Manchester. I quite often see people meeting up in groups outside of their households all the time. The most you will get is "are you all from the same household?" at a restaurant and that's it, I'm honestly for it being enforced and stricter! I just wish the government wouldn't be such pussies about it all and stop with "guidance" and "advice" and just be very very clear. The communication has also been shocking, it started off fairly well back in March but now it's open to interpretation and when that happens no one is going to pay attention. The only solution at this point is a national lockdown I fear.

 

 

In regards to my previous post, the point I was trying to make is it seemed people only started to care when it was London being affected. From some people it seemed like an entitled view that London should never be affected from tweets and stuff I've seen. Maybe that's just me, but it's annoying to see and comes across as selfish.

The fact that the second wave coincided exactly with the re-opening of schools and universities isn't a coincidence (particularly with regards to universities)...

Which is why these measures are complete rubbish. If everyone stuck to the guidelines then we would be fine, but people don't as as long as you have students about you're always going to have the problem made worse. This isn't to say local people aren't part of the problem too of course, but added with tens of thousands of students all in one situation it makes it worse. Lots of problems to this of course, conspiracy theorists, the Government, the media. It's turned regular thinking people mad as everyone just wants life back to normal.

 

As shite as it is, I'd much rather a much harder and more enforceable lockdown/circuit breaker now then have these silly measures in place for months which don't reduce the R rate, are more costly to businesses and increase people's mental health woes.

A gym is refusing to close and will fight it's corner in court.

 

From Sky News.

 

A Merseyside gym which stayed open despite new coronavirus restrictions has been fined £1,000 by police.

 

Officers had to visit Body Tech Fitness in Moreton, Wirral, twice on Wednesday - following new Tier 3 restrictions came into force which forced the closure of gyms and betting shops.

 

After the new rules for the Liverpool City Region were announced, owner Nick Whitcombe said on his Instagram page the gym would be staying open "for our members mental and physical well-being".

 

Police visited the gym on Wednesday and told it to close but had to return later that day to find it was still open, so issued a £1,000 fine.

 

A Gofundme page set up to help the gym with any legal costs has raised more than £24,000.

Yeah I honestly cant see any other solution, a enforced national lockdown to coincide with half term would be ideal. We could hopefully get Track & Trace back to working order....well better than it is now and maybe if a clear and concise message was broadcast highlighting the reasoning and implications of not adhering to the rules, people would abide more.

The Government simply need to hand Track & Trace over to local PHE. Where I am Track & Trace reaches 70% of people, but we have started a local Track & Trace and it picks up 98% cases. The only problem is they only have funding for Monday-Friday.

 

Clear as mud we had a problem in the North West when restrictions were lifted too soon. Then for a lot of the rest of the country, of course the infection rate increased with pubs, gyms etc. re-opening - but we expected that But universities and schools going back (at least with schools there is some form of thought gone in the process) has just led to complete loss of control, which has now spread in to the community. I'm an advocate of a 2-3 week circuit breaker as long ad the Government sort their shit out, as quite simply they have failed us.
