COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

I believe the main pictures came from St.Pancras. Trains that leave that station, apart from those going across the Channel, are mainly to those areas that are in Tier 3 or 4, such as East Midlands or Kent. So where were these people escaping to? Unless they weren't from St.Pancras.😟

One young couple said they didn't want to be "holed up" in a flat with their toddler so were heading to parents on the coast, Lincs I think. Thereby hangs the route out for the virus too. Sad when others are doing the right thing and staying put.

At present the UK is more or less isolated from the EU as they wish to protect themselves, quite understandably.  That is our biggest problem for this moment in time.

St Pancras heads straight through Midlands to Yorkshire (Sheffield) and beyond. Plus other routes as well. Paddington, tickets sold out by 7pm apparently, all heading SW. ☹️

Note to those in charge.......make sure you shut the field gate before you let the cattle loose.....🤨

So, let me see if I've understood this🤔. 

HMG know that this virus mutates and infects people at a significantly higher rate than its dirty little cousin. They ask/advise people where its most prevelant not to travel but that's it? No lockdown? No stay in your own County/Administrative area? And if they take the mutating acne ridden football lookalike to other low level areas it's the publics fault not theirs?🤔 

Which bit of the "Governing Manual" didn't they read.

At one point of this pandemic we here in Wales were restricted by law to stay within our own county. Can be done.

Feel sorry for those folks in Tiers 1&2 having to now face the threat of this even more infectious virus.

Shame on those in power. 

The dead ringers, radio4 Friday 1830, interview with M Gove sums it up 🙁

Maybe the people in Wales were prepared to behave.  Many of Those is the south east clearly were not and we don't have the police force numbers able to enforce it.  I blame the selfishness of the people well before the Government.  Of course many will be very afraid and keen to get away at any cost, to hell with anyone else.  

The tier 4 restrictions/rules tell people that they are not to travel outside their restricted area,  ,but then as posted elsewhere ,it is those who are in denial about the seriousness of the situation,  give no thought that they may well be one of the main routes of the infection,

In less liberal countries ,any person with tickets to destinations beyond the restricted tiers would have been refused permission to travel,unless they could prove their was essential,

When Wales had the last lockdown as our friends in Barry advised no body it seemed was stopped from leaving or entering the country  

I've just read the updated gov.uk Christmas guidance, so much "bubble" talk when it could have just been stay at home unless it's an emergency. 

Very simple.  Lovely,  Does that include medical staff, blue light service staff, carers, farmers, and all those other essential people?
