Robbie Williams' tropical case of covid

[GrumblyMumblyisnotJumbly]

Another entitled person who thinks they are above the travel restrictions just like the Beckhams, Lewis Hamilton etc who continue with their jet set lifestyles
Robbie has now tested positive for Covid in St Barts. Zero sympathy for him and every sympathy for the people who have encountered him

YABU - The rich elite should carry on doing what the chuff they like, wherever they like worldwide, as they are special and it's nasty wintertime here

YANBU - Celebrities should not break Tier 4 / lockdown rules on travel, do their bit, and stay the fuck at home like the rest of us!

YANBU, but doesn’t he live in America? So is subject to their Covid rules, not ours.

Mmm, I noticed he travelled out of the UK on December 28th against UK rules. What the heck is it with celebrities thinking the rules don't apply to them?

Well presumably he wasn’t breaking the rules on travel. He was allowed to go, he went , and now he’s in quarantine.

There are a whole lot of gray areas in between your 2 statements.

Oh, did he got there from USA? Oops, ignore my post. I got that badly wrong then. Sorry Robbie.

OP, can you link to anything that states he broke any rules?

I've Googled and found nothing.

@GrumblyMumblyisnotJumbly What rules has he broken? I’m genuinely curious.

According to Google they live in LA. But have houses in Malibu and London.

Scratch that apology. He flew there from London.

Yeah I'm getting sick of seeing slebs "working" oversees ie taking photos for instagram. It's sending out a terrible message.

Also your YABU/YANBU options are a bit ridiculous.

Why are we surprised that celebrities think they are special?

Well according to the Mirror he's been from Switzerland to London for Graham Norton and at some point onto St Barts but no I don't know his entire itinery. But there seem to be plenty of celebs grabbing some winter sun.

I personally don’t give a shit. It’s not as if their not travelling is going to make it any better for the rest of us. If I had millions I’d probably be sitting in the sun thousands of miles away too.

@WorraLiberty

Also your YABU/YANBU options are a bit ridiculous.

Well yes they are but also celebrities jettsetting around the world when pretty much everyone else is restricted due to a pandemic seems pretty ridiculous to me

Make him live back in Stoke, that's punishment enough for anybody.

It certainly makes a mockery of their "all in this together" talk last year.

Robbie Williams is a bit of an arse? And in other news, something about bears and woods...

🤣

I'm sure "staying at home" is not so much of a hardship anyway, if Robbie and similar presumably have company, a gym, garden and lots of space.

I don't think I can say for sure he broke rules but if we all went on a winter sun holiday its got to be worse for covid rates!

I always get Robbie and Robin confused, so I clicked as your title gave me questions!

Never be surprised by entitlement.

Money doesn’t buy brains unfortunately...

It doesn’t need Robbie Williams to show we’re not all in this together. Cameron started peddling that line while enriching his bloated mates at the expense of the very poorest and anyone who swallowed it was either naive or stupid. We’re not all in it together and never will be.

Meh, in the grand scheme of things it's very few people. And TBH, if the ABILITY to fly is there, why wouldn't they (or anyone)? It's up to Grant Shapps to be putting something into place at airports/seaports etc to ensure only essential travellers are coming and going, if that's there intention. I can't get too het up about Robbie TBH.

Why pick on celebrities when the Great British Public are flouting the rules left right and centre?
