An unsafe gathering for sure , all Cummings fault, as folk can't think for themselves .
A pitiful excuse. People still have to take self responsibility and in this pandemic have a responsibility for others.Quote:

No doubt he will ride in at some point. He has to win CCMB every day. In his own head at least.Quote:

Even the guy who reported Cummins broke the rules himself.
Lots of people were doing it and are doing it, with or without any influence by these people. The average person doesn't need any excuse to do what suits him or her.
How many of those you mentioned resigned, stepped down or were sacked ?Quote:

I'm not arguing with you. I was merely pointed out that if so many people in the public eye have been doing it then it's a fair bet that a whole lot of ordinary people have been doing it too. (not to mention chips and allotments :hehe:)Quote:

It is as idiotic as those gathering on the beaches.
Nice to see the Venn Diagram of Vagueness back in action. I wonder if the same people who said X are now doing Y. Well, unless someone took a register we'll never know, but never mind, we'll cast aspersions anyway.
Have these people:Quote:

If people cannot see the issue with these protests with our issues with COVID then we really are in trouble

The UK public have shown that taking self responsibility doesn’t work, have you seen who’s Prime Minister?Quote:

Another protest arranged for 1pm in Bute Park this Saturday.
Considering we are at least a couple of weeks behind London in terms of the virus this is probably more dangerous from a spreading the infection perspective.

Difficult though, met would then be labelled racist or compliant with institutionalised racism rather than enforcing social distancing guidelines.
Which means the Covid response loses credibility.Quote:
