"Fantastic work... Take the virus to areas where it's currently not. There really are a lot of stupid people about at present and the belief they have that it's everyone else who transmits it and not them." Exactly and there was someone earlier on another thread that said no one is sticking to the rules. The example he gave was that he was on a packed bus and none of the windows were open and no one cared. I tried to point out that maybe he could have opened the windows or left the bus but like you say it's everyone else isn't. | |||

"Tier 4 in kent, told shouldnt travel out of kent to another,. But dover an Folkstone are allowing truck land here. Which then allowed to move all around the Uk for days. Why is that allowed, makes no sense. " It's a little bit different because we need the deliveries it is essential and to leave a tier 4 area for essential reasons like work, Medical treatment or in an emergency is completely and understandably allowed | |||

"Well done Boris and co for causing the first evacuation of London since 1939 He hasn't caused it people could have just stayed put." What did the muppets think was gonna happen? All they've accomplished is creating a mass bundle in the shops and on public transport. I do think people should have been more sensible and delayed their transport plans for a day or so though, it's not as if it's enforceable. | |||

"Perhaps people are done with this. 10 months. 10 months to get their shit together. Don’t know who’s dumber. The Government or the lockdown worshiping people. I now know how Hitler prospered. " British people are too passive and servile. We grumble and moan about injustices but never take to the streets like even the French do. | |||

No, it goes to show that all these new restrictions cause is panic amongst people which makes the situation worse. The whole Christmas Bubble thing has been bungled and overcomplicated from the start. | |||

" As they were allowed to do this afternoon and as they had already prepared and planned to do. I do agree that where possible plans should be adapted and gatherings reduced in size, but everyone has their own circumstances and situations. I do think though that it's a bit late in the day to be moving the goalposts. | |||

You do realise the public consistently demonstrate our inability to make good judgements! People make all kinds of dumb ass decisions like smoking, drug taking, drink driving, r ape and murder! | |||

"It’s been 10 stupid months. All the money and I mean all the money spent should have went on protecting vulnerable people. I just looks like they tried to kill off the elder population slowly while making the rich richer, divided the poor and the races within that poor. " How would this have been achieved? Round up all those over 65, all those overweight and all those with respiratory issues and isolate them on an island? | |||

I said the other day people are so "well it's my RIGHT to do what I want, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my mum" mentality that even if the army got drafted in, they'd be stood in the street shouting at the soliders they're gonna sue them personally for taking away their civil liberties | |||

"It's an awful time of year for this to happen and if you believe it or not, we have got rules and people should follow them, Boris (love him or hate him) hasn't done this as a two fingers up to everyone, he has the awful task of trying to keep us safe but instead selfish people have just thrown their toys out their prams yet again and going to places they are not allowed, it is awful, not a nice situation to be in at all but have some common sense, these people traveling now will be the same people the reason why we are still having to have tiers etc. Danish x" Well said - you are absolutely spot on | |||

"Typical Londoners, completely selfish! Most will not be Londoners though, they'll be people who've been working in London rushing home for Christmas." Or some will be people visiting the city, staying in hotels but now have to leave. Unless the interview ask every member of public in a car or train leaving the city “where are you going, where are you from” you’ll never have the true picture. | |||

In my opinion it's a hastily put together plan which has served to anger people and divide us. I am also highly suspicious of Kent and Rother being put in tier 4 just as lorries start to stack up at Dover.

" The whole Christmas Bubble thing has been bungled and overcomplicated from the start. I cannot disagree with this And yet what was the alternative? Announce 3 weeks ago the cancellation of Christmas? The medical advisors told them this had to be done and they ignored them again. They haven't just found out about this today. A journalist was on the radio before said she knew about this early last week. Been handled appallingly again. Numbers suddenly started to rise in Hastings about 3 weeks ago. We observed that it was moving towards us from Kent. If we can do that from the comfort of our armchairs.. . It apparently started in early October. They are making out like they only found out today Once again they have ignored the advice and are trying to cover themselves. Yep. I've been fairly laid back about the pandemic. I've stuck by the advice and done my bit. I've understood that Boris Johnson is in a difficult position but this latest debacle is one step too far for me. Also I wish the finger pointing and blaming of other people would stop. While schools are open and children are allowed to travel between tiers to attend a virus, the new strain of which is highly transmissible among the young, will continue on its merry way through the population. Wasnt he threatening islington council The other day when they said they were going to close the schools? He was and schools will remain open in our area. Pupils and staff may travel from other tiers to attend. They may then go home to their families and spend two weeks in the same house. This and other reasons are why people are angry It makes even more a mockery of today That literally makes no sense on any level. In my opinion it's a hastily put together plan which has served to anger people and divide us. I am also highly suspicious of Kent and Rother being put in tier 4 just as lorries start to stack up at Dover. What a convenient time to ensure people are discouraged from local and European travel. " Yeah surprised there hasn't been a link made with that. | |||

"Our forefathers mothers ants and uncles prevailed WW1 & WW2 and a flue pandemic. But yet the country and it's people stayed strong and survived. 2020 an invisible enemy returned and brought the country to it's knees. With the help from self appointed experts and idiots. Those that have made gains from other peoples loss and hardship, Should be held accountable. I can tell you now, the country was on it's knees after both world wars too. A very difficult time for the nation and the people. We look back with rose tinted specs at such things. People like having myths they can cling too. " So true some people must have never picked up a genuine book on actual history in their lives.
They buy into the rose tinted propaganda of yesterday year, the old bulldog spirit and use it to bash the present.
The truth is the days during and after WW2 (as one example often touted) were brutal. There are many parallels between then and now for anyone willing to do a bit of rudimentary digging into the facts of the era.

Surely something as blatant as this is more worthy of a ban than say posting a peer reviewed article link from a non MSM research website that admin don't approve of? If banning him potentially stops him finding a meet whilst in London considering that could save someone elses life its got to be the only right course of action?

"Well done Boris and co for causing the first evacuation of London since 1939 He hasn't caused it people could have just stayed put. What did the muppets think was gonna happen? All they've accomplished is creating a mass bundle in the shops and on public transport. I do think people should have been more sensible and delayed their transport plans for a day or so though, it's not as if it's enforceable. No they should be sensible and not have any travel plans now. It's better for people to make their own minds up and use their best judgement instead of being infantized by the Nanny State fuelled by dodgy data. Well I think you find the article above is exactly why people can't be trusted. It's kind of proven the point hasn't it! No, it goes to show that all these new restrictions cause is panic amongst people which makes the situation worse. The whole Christmas Bubble thing has been bungled and overcomplicated from the start." Elect a clown, Expect a circus | |||

" Those exemptions are there for a reason. You can't just say you can't leave your area even for work or for medical treatment. | |||

"Well done Boris and co for causing the first evacuation of London since 1939" I love the way people blame the government for the populations stupidity. I can't remember anyone saying you're going into tier 4 so all leave the capital and spread this shit virus everywhere. Just waiting for that pratt Burnham to come on and say that Manchester has it worse and they should get a ton of money sent up there | |||

" Why couldn't there have been road blocks on all the main motorways. Because until midnight it was legal to travel out of London As I understand it, it is not illegal even now. The restrictions are recommendations presented as law until certain conditions are fulfilled Hancock as just said differently to Andrew Marr...he reckons it's the job of transport police and motorway police as it it law.. his words. I believe, and happy to be corrected, that until a Statutory Instrument has been published, this is only guidance. The SI, when published, will detail what constitues an offence. Just saying what he said...whether he is right is another thing
Obviously Hancock"s puppet master is having the weekend off. "Hancock said he passed an emergency law at 5 am this morning. Travelling around into other areas, from tier 4 is now prohibited Tier 4 have to stay at home. This law is enforceable. He wants, the police to stop people at train stations and set up road Checkpoints. How, well this will go is anyone's guess. He did this because he is livid with the actions of those in London last night What did they really expect would happen with yesterday's announcement. As for Hancock himself, he is the puppet master along with his sidekicks Witty and Vallance. The smirk on his face this morning was so unsettling These are the ones running this country at the moment. Boris is merely the puppet and warm up act | |||

It's like if you are in an aeroplane about to go down and they say to you stay calm it'll be fine. And what is the first reaction of any human being.... To panic of course | |||

"OK there's a lot who will come up with reply to this, that's fine, but I'm talking fact here, not hearsay. We live in the town of Gosport Hampshire, What we don't understand is, we live in a town with a population of 80,000,why don't we, or our many family or friends, know Anybody who has had the virus, and I'm going back to the beginning. I'm not saying it's not around, but we have been put in tier 4 now, but no one here knows anybody who has had it????????. " | |||

"With the travel ban in Scotland does that mean they can't come here? (My sister who lives in London decided weeks ago it would be a bad idea and cancelled.) Or does the Scottish travel ban only applicable to Scottish subjects and not enforceable to prevent inward spread?" Funny enough I wonder if the Welsh and Scottish administrations will put checkpoints on the main roads crossing the borders to maintain lockdown rules on essential travel...... The Dutch and Belgian government have put a travel ban on the uk this morning.... I honestly wonder if France and Ireland will follow | |||

" So short of police roadblocks on the bigger main roads, and BTP at Carlisle, Berwick, Edinburgh and Glasgow, how on earth are you going to control this.... there is going to be a load of compassionate reason excuses in the next few weeks to justify what they are doing | |||

Until we know more in about this new variation we have a responsibility to not allow travel outside of our borders.. Easier said than done and in all likelihood with the amount of time since it became known it's pretty much likely to be all over.. | |||
