I reckon £100 on the spot fine now. Everybody knows the rules, everybody knows why the rules are in place, everybody can see the daily human toll of people not following the rules. There's absolutely no excuse for the selfishness. £100 on the spot, not £30. Or tear gas.
100 quid fine is a bit harsh. Maybe the Council could employ people who could monitor and ask people to get a wriggle on if they're hanging about.Originally Posted by delmbox
Why is it harsh? As I said, people know the rules are in place, and why, and the consequences of not adhering to them. It's their choice to disregard that and put others at risk of death and extending the quarantine so they deserve everything they get. It's selfishness and a lack of concern for other people, pure and simple. "I'm bored, I want to go out with my friends/club so f**k the rules"
If they've lost their jobs and don't want to get a fine, don't congregate in groups. It's simple. I won't get fined the £100 because I won't be acting selfish and flouting the rules. They'd have that exact same option, and if they choose to ignore it then that's their fault and their fault only.
They will only know how serious this is (let's be honest, most of them a dead thick) when they hear of a friend who had a huge fine. Or, worse, a friend who died. That's really the level of intelligence we are dealing with.
I disagree with most of them being dead thick, that's what makes it so infuriating. Stupidity and lack of understanding is slightly forgiveable, a lot of these people think they're above the rules, or they don't apply to them
I really didn't need all of that. I think it's harsh because there are other ways to tackle this problem. To instigate a fine system we we need bodies on the ground, doing the leg work. I'd rather (for now) those people used as a deterrent with maybe the warning of stricter measures if they continue. I believe that we'd see a change. People don't 'Deserve everything they get' for being retarded bellends. What a daft thing to say.
"Deserve everything they get" within the context of my post you tit, i.e £100 fine. I'm not suggesting they get shot on sight. I'd say £100 is fair for being a retarded bellend, especially as literally the only thing that's on the news or is being spoken about is why they shouldn't gather together.
This is exactly what's happening now, and people are ignoring it.
£100 for everyone. So, if you're a dad out with 2 kids, £300.
just shut the beaches and parks, end of
That would be difficult.
Why would it be difficult,Spain did it
Because a park and a beach can be a widespread area with unconventional ways of entry-logistically it's difficult.
Still think you are wrong, a total lockdown is needed, would stop idiots going to parks and beaches also stop the idiots riding their cycle for 20km into the countryside
not really, make sure its well known that the parks and beaches are shut, if you are caught using them, a nice big fine, lets say £5 K
it'll only take a few getting fined and people will soon stay out of the parks and away from the beach
That is going to be easy, why didn't anyone think of this?
I really do not understand your logic... it’s not difficult... prevention is better than cure. If people abide by a set of rules no one pays any fines... you seem to be saying that the punishment of £100 is greater than the crime??
People are dying... go out but go somewhere where people aren’t... there’s lots of places that aren’t beaches or parks.
I’d make the fines £,000’s
All i said that i think that a £100 fine is a bit harsh (especially at a time when people aren't getting paid) Then you're saying that you would massively increase the Fine? Then you go on to tell me what i already no, almost putting words in my mouth. I think that Marshal's with the power to approach people and keep an eye on things would be better practice.
Today is probably the bigger challenge, but the impression I got about yesterday was that people stuck to the rules far more than they did a fortnight ago - am I wrong in believing that?
I agree.
There needs to be tougher penalties
I read somewhere about groups of youths on bicycles gathering in parks and local open areas. Clearly they aren't going to get caught easily to speak to them.
With these perhaps they should be filmed/photgraphed (By drone?) and identified. Then fine their parents the £100 mentioned and tag the individual so if he/she goes too far from home they get fined again.
Harsh but probably effective.
Why can't the government just find a way of supervising these areas that are causing issues? I'm sure that an element of authoritarian presence would be enough for most people to think twice. The problem is that when people have certain freedoms within constraints then some will take advantage of the situation. They may be stupid and need a bit of reminding.
How do they expect scottish people to rerspond to being told to lock themselves down when the Scottish Governemt top medical Advisor has just been cautioned by police for not complying with her own advice?
And we are discussing ordinary folk.
Considering the impact coronavirus has, it is nothing. People are dying, the NHS is struggling. These damn clowns should have harsher punishments
