Is it going to kick off this weekend in the pubs in england ?

[xsnaggle]

It was a nice day in some areas at least it was where I live. People being reasonably responsible in my Devon seaside resort. If the pictures in the media are not stock one's then that is worrying.

The government knew what the weather was likely to be like. Even I can look at a forecast about 10 -14 days in advance.
Mr Drakeford's plans should see pubs opening right in the middle of the next heat wave.
Or perhaps he will use that to keep them closed even longer!!

Well lets hope he doesnt copy the bufoon and open at 6am on a Saturday. We dont want repeats of last night.

Still trying?
The problems in the pubs and streets of England yesterday were a non-event and you can polish a turd all day but it's still a turd.
Worse happens every weekend up and down the country when pubs have been open normally and specially in Cardiff.
Before we castigate them lets see how the Welsh behave in the same circumstances.

to be fair, it way overpriced and i always feel robbed but i thought i would pass that onto you and you could have the feeling aswell

Night shifts I just tend to drive down and back as quick as I can, working days I'd stop for something as it's their time in the day I'm using

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

He isn't my mate.
The weather was forecast to be like that for ages, before this thread started. It was really about people wanting it to happen so they could say "I told you so" but it didn't.
end of....

Course hes your mate , you dont fool me

[J R Hartley]

There were plenty of arrests yesterday , a complete lack of social distancing , loads of people in casualty and people throwing up in the streets

Thank god it wasnt hot and sunny

No different to the weekend of protests then really.

It is what it is.

Well it could be argued that the sight of a black man being suffocated with a knee on his neck possibly meant normal law abiding citizens thought feck this shit I am getting out on the streets to protest

Whereas a lot of people went out in england this weekend thinking feck me I am dying for a pint

Call it nick picking but I would say that it may not have been perfect that several thousand people broke social isolation rules during the protests , but they had a just cause , racial oppression

But the half a million who went flooding into bournemouth in the sun last week and the thousands who were blocking soho , pissed up and doing the same in other cities up and down the country had the excuse .......well they wanted a pint , didnt they ?

Boris slags off the protestors yet says bravo to the piss artists

Strange world

There is no just cause to break social distancing and start attacking the UK police in the way we’ve seen at the protests and the bloc party’s.

The BLM protests, Footbsll Nazi protests, beachswarmers, bloc party ravers and those on the streets of Soho last night were one as bad as the other.

To criticise one but not the the other for ignoring social distancing is hypocritical.

One thing I will say for the pub goers at least there is security and trained staff at the pubs unlike the beaches and block parties.

The protestors who were out for the black lives matter movement would argue they had just cause to protest

The people who went out last night would argue they had every right to go on the piss

I know who's side I favour

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

you're doing the exact thing you're criticising Boris for

Hows that then ?

[Llandaff Blue]

Hows that then ?

picking and choosing what to denounce based on your own views.

Both things will result in a spike of infections, but because one is protesting against 'racism' it's fine

Not saying it's fine but one set of people were out there fighting against racism and it clearly was racism

The other lot were hedonistic people trying to get a sun tan and this weekend get pissed up

No comparison

You do think it's fine because you're trying to justify the protests while at the same time denouncing the people who went to beaches, if you had an issue with the protests you wouldn't make excuses for them.

I'm not denying what happened to George Floyd was racist, I'm trying to understand why his death justifies mass protests (as well as attacks on our police) in this country. We aren't America, racism and police brutality that exists there can't be copy and pasted here.

Why the hell do you have to pick a side? Why not just criticise all of the idiots involved?

I favour neither of the mass breaking of social distancing rules wether that be to protest, to top up your tan or to have a few drinks.

You just sound gutted that there wasn’t large scale drunken disorder yesterday just so you can say “Told you so”.

Police seem like they had an easier night last night than any of the protests or the block parties / raves they’ve had to break up.

Racism and police brutality needs to be challenged wherever it happens

so you're okay with the protests then? thanks for proving my point.

No you soppy clown

I am saying I can understand why people were angry enough with racism to take the streets

I cannot understand why people went out and got pissed on saturday , what cause were they supporting ?

The damaged liver appreciation society ?

"Racism and police brutality needs to be challenged wherever it happens"

sounds like a direct endorsement

Maybe they want to support the economy? Guess we can all come up for justifications for why people would break social distancing rules

Course they were , they were supporting the economy , brave warriors that they were

They were a bunch of chancers , as were the idiots who flooded the beach at bournemouth

Let's say a number of prominent mps were arrested and charged with child abuse offences this summer and it leaked out all over the internet that they had been filming what went on . They were caught on camera and were bang to rights .

They are given police protection

Several thousand people break the lockdown , many being parents of young children and are involved in scuffles with the police

These people broke the lockdown but they had a cause they believed in . And I would fully understand why they broke the lockdown

But the thousands of people pissed up in soho falling over each other ?

The save the economy society ?

They are just a bunch of idiotic piss artists , no cause , just hedonistic
