They Are Still At It.

Do you think the only way to stop this happening is to take these people a few at a time, around the Covid wards and the morgue so they can see for themselves? Perhaps that isn't feasible but, perhaps someone should record what is happening on the wards (obviously not showing their faces and getting permission from relatives) and show this to these silly people.

This incident is primarily a failure of policing - a patent lack of desire to intervene.

Saying "8 million or more people, not easy to control them all is it" is ignoring one very important fact - there are far more police officers per capita of population in London than anywhere else in the UK - yet they are feeble and impotent against even minor public order disturbances, which are often adequately controlled in areas with far lower numbers of police per capita.

What exactly are all these police people doing?

i can completely understand that some people think it's a hoax/being blown out of proportion. What i don't get is how that then leaps to protesting outside a hospital!

[emmie]

as i said Corbyns followers are all age groups, not just kids and young adults. I only pick him out because yet again he is in the news on NYE, spouting bilge to a crowd of like minded people -

[andres]

Never mind the 'Human Rights' we should be naming and shaming these idiots. Putting their faces on show. The Police should have locked those party idiots that ruined the old church inside it .Then they could have dealt with them. We are too soft in the UK.

[emmie]

no idea but it shows that large crowds gathered for NYE celebrations, and large crowds to shop, or listen to the likes of Corbyn go on.

[gness]

I have always believed I'd never be able to physically hurt another person. Never smacked my children.

I despaired of folk who didn't take this seriously. Those like my sister who still doesn't believe what is happening.

Now, having had the phone call to say my nephew who has been treating Covid patients since March has contracted the virus, I know I could hurt Covid deniers and anti-vaxxers and if I prayed I would pray for Karma to strike them.

SD if plod did anything the Libfac j arthurs would be accusing them of being nazis, they can't win

[ummmm]

Well my daughter, along with 9 other family members, have Covid. It's no hoax.

[fender62]

i remember in the states they would show drink drivers, pictures of car accident victims duw to drink driving, that was back in the 70's not sure if they still due that or if it had any impact in drink driving.
but something similar along those lines may help? but with data protection and all that, probably not happen, pics of covid victims.

[emmie]

no they can't win, nor have they been able to for many a long day, J corbyn has been fined twice now, 10 grand a time, whether he is going to pay is another matter, but he does have a lot of followers young and old.

[ummmm]

Fender - they do that on speed awareness courses.

[emmie]

that should read Piers Corbyn not his brother, sorry - i don't know too many other high profile people so can't quote them but he has been vocal for many months about this being a hoax. which is obviously isn't

[fender62]

emmie, guess his brother has no influence on his antics or cares?
imagine if corbyn was pm...

[dannyk13]

I bet Boris regrets having sold the water cannons.

[emmie]

don't know if brothers are close, but seems that no one can influence Piers from his standpoint. that it all a hoax that he won't be having the vaccine, and that people are stupid to believe it all. and so forth

[emmie]

one of the posters said that neither side of Parliament would agree to their use, so they have been scrapped.

[emmie]

Then-Home Secretary Theresa May banned their use in riot situations in England and Wales in 2015, and later used the purchase to ridicule Mr Johnson in the Tory leadership race after David Cameron resigned.

Water cannon have been used in Northern Ireland but have never been deployed in the rest of the UK.

[Apc2604]

Sorry to hear about your daughter and family members ummmm. I wish them well, and take care of yourself.x

[Stickybottle]

As I said on my own thread about the Sydney Christmas Day beach party, these events are tailor made for water cannon and rubber bullets.

Did anyone see the footage of NYE parties around the world?
The one in China had an explanation that because they had been severe on lockdown and not tolerated transgressions they could now mingle with no social distancing.
This government needs to be more like the one in China.

No need to try and police 8 million people. Just the minority who are being absolute morons. No fines, a month in jail each time they are arrested. We British have always been far too soft.
