Where will it end... 12th September as it happens

Yes, that one, at Five Lane Ends. It's the same one, I believe.

 

That's one way of looking at it, most right minded people wouldn't have gone out yesterday if the drinks was free, let's hope this was an isolated incedent but I very much doubt it.

 

Not a knock at you dave but quite honestly, what did people expect?? It was gonna happen but its an isolated incident amongst many public houses that opened and in line with most things, most 'negative incidents' are highlighted, regurgitated by the 'right minded people' and used to play along with individual mindsets/agendas/curtain twitching/look at me I behave myself... I don't agree with what happened but not surprised...

As for drinking, I didn't go out as gave up the ale on February 13th......

 

I know it's, not but when are adults going to start taking responsibility, I accept once again it's the minority and looking at the pictures from around the UK mostly the younger end, they possibly feel they will be OK if they get it which may be true, don't they have parents and grandparents.
Its just that it seems to be a case of "I'm alright Jack".
Without doubt the government have made some poor decisions but IMO we cant judge any government until this virus has been brought under control with a vaccine, then we can hold the government to account, now Australia has had a outbreak in an area, let's await the final death toll and hold western governments responsible as they should have had things in place to minimise this pandemic.

 

The only alternative to the present easing of lockdown would be to keep us all locked up at home for the next 2 years, it really is a sh1t situation where there are no winners, would we have acted the same if this crisis came up when we were younger..? don't know but I don't think so...looking at the situation globally you just can't ever see it going away can you..?
Some people just cant/wont help themselves and it is that what we have to try and live with...

 

Think regional lockdowns are the way forward to be honest at the moment containing the disease is the best we can hope for until a vaccine is found
No we wouldn't have acted the same in our "younger years" we had respect for rules especially when it was all for our benefit, our present younger end have parents/grandparents in the at risk category but that doesn't seem to matter strange outlook on life really
Dominic Cummings must be held responsible for his actions both on a proffesional and personal level another full lockdown is now virtually impossible difficult to argue with the "what's good for him is good for me" brigade
As you say a sh1t situation

 

I won't have it that Cummings can be anyway responsible after all the senseless disorder we have experienced lately, blaming Cummings or the government now is lazy and no longer justified ...

 

Have more interest in W$$DS United than politics to be honest
It's hard however to think he set a good example
As with our club at the minute leadership must come from the top

 

No way was anybody in the pubs yesterday ignoring social distancing because of Cummings. It won't even have factored in.

They were simply doing it because they wanted to have fun, live their lives and were happy to take a calculated risk.

 

No doubt you are right
But a "calculated risk" putting the rest of their family at risk of Covid is a bit too far for me

 

Not true at all.. I can blame for for not having a world beating track and trace system they promised..

Cummings situation set it off in people's mindset that the MP's are cracking on with their life then why shouldn't we. This mindset is no applying to all age groups.

No point saying the government have done a good job with all this Covid situation or you sound like a clueless person that needs to give their head a shake. Government have handed it shockingly!

 

Well pardon f*ckin' me, i've got it all wrong again then I guess, I bow to your superior wisdom...

 

I don't have a problem with the easing of lock down it had to be done sometime the government will have taken advice weighed up the situation and decided to allow various businesses to open with limitations.
Your "would we have acted the same if this crisis came up when we were younger" is a fair comment I enjoyed a beer or two in my younger days and I would hope I would have tried to stay within the limits.
I have to be honest and say the only time I was reluctant to go in pubs was during the IRA days, Friday night was a few beers with the lads around the area and although the odds would be massive with regards being in a pub when a bomb went off I was still a little apprehensive, of course when the 5 pint went down you'd forgotten .

 

Unless you're properly isolating then every time you go outside you're risking the rest of your family to some extent. It's just where you draw that line and everyone is different.

 

Not really, if you cross the road blindfolded there is only yourself at risk.....

 

It wasn't really to do with crossing the road. More to do with going to the shop, going on the bus, etc, etc. Going to a busy pub is an extension of that.

 

This might get people out shopping if it happens.

The younger end of the population wont necessarily be ill with the virus but they can spread it as well as anyone, just wait until the the nightclubs start to open then it will really spike.

 

Everyones circumstances are different but a trip to the shops where you purposely keep your distance and a voluntary trip to an overcrowded pub where you can not keep your distance don't stand comparison everyone wants a "normal" life just at the minute the situation doesn't allow for it and risks calculated or not shouldn't be taken

 

Yes they're both different but they both involve risk. It's just down to how much you're willing to take. Everyone is currently taking SOME risk so its just where the individual draws the line.
