This is Southend on sea today.

I’m not there posted on a Facebook group I’m part of.

I don't understand why Dominic Cummings being a dick has resulted in the general public being dicks.

Because some people are just stupid. Or selfish. There'll be a second wave in 2 weeks' time. Unfortunately, it won't be these guys who suffer - but their grannies and families.

BamboozledandBefuddled · 25/05/2020 14:14

No beer in the Southend pic. Not worth the journey.

NeedChoos · 25/05/2020 14:14

I’m in Brighton- the beach bars are open for take aways. It’s packed. The beach the park...

Jaxhog · 25/05/2020 14:16

It’s possible that many of them have already had Covid and are likely to be immune, so no risk to themselves or others.

But that isn't the reason - they are just stupid and selfish. Even if they are sure they've had it, they can still spread it to others who haven't.

MadameMarie · 25/05/2020 14:18

@Jaxhog But if they have a conscience they'll have to live with the guilt.

Comingoutontop123 · 25/05/2020 14:18

People are really reaching to say its because of Cummings. People have been posting pictures like this for weeks.

LouLouLoo · 25/05/2020 14:19

It's ridiculous to blame DC for this. I live in a coastal town, it's been like this since exercise restrictions were lifted.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 25/05/2020 14:21

In BILs case they are drinking out of glasses, logo'd. It's take out as far as the beer garden. No real social distancing happening.

We've been getting take outs from our local pub for weeks... No hanging around, click and collect, 5 minute window of opportunity.

Redolent · 25/05/2020 14:23

The people possess off at Cummings probably aren’t out in the streets. They’re quietly and determinedly visiting their family members.

feelingverylazytoday · 25/05/2020 14:24

You'd think people could sacrifice a beer for a few months
You mean like people on mumsnet could sacrifice wine or gin for a few months. Oh wait... that hasn't really happened, as it?

Oh, of course, why didn't the rest of us think of that.. 'We've all had Covid lets go to Brighton beach' Hmm

Flowersinthewild · 25/05/2020 15:49

Really don’t understand the point of this post or others like it!
All this is doing is annoying and making the people who stuck to the guidelines even angrier.

Pointless post...again

Meanwhile in Scotland.. With less than a 10th of deaths and only 9 overnight we are in complete lockdown..

Two ends of the scale

Drivingdownthe101 · 25/05/2020 15:56

The groups look fairly far apart in the Bournemouth webcam. And BJ did say sunbathing was allowed.

Wingedharpy · 25/05/2020 16:04

The more the beer flows, the shorter the social distance will be.
By the end of the day, they'll all be arm in arm singing Agadoo🤣🤣🤣

IncrediblySadToo · 25/05/2020 16:05

@frasersmummy I'm thinking about moving up! I disliked NS (on the basis I don't want Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 leaving us!!) but on Cv I really like her. I like that she takes the time to understand the science, own the decisions and be quite open about things. I like she's keen on keeping people alive. Better than the clowns down here!!

frasersmummy · 25/05/2020 16:11

Brighton beach cam.. Looks fairly well spaced to me.

The Brighton one the other day was debunked as last year.. I suspect this one is too

I don't even live in Scotland, I agree, it's ridiculous.

The problem is they've always got the argument 'ahhh, the reason the deaths are so low is BECAUSE we're being so strict!'

There's always someone somewhere who can utilise whatever is going on and use it for their own agenda because it's a nebulous situation where no one really knows and no one can really prove anything.

LesLavandes · 25/05/2020 16:29

Saltdean Beach down road is like the Costa Brava

LesLavandes · 25/05/2020 16:29

And all carparks full of visitors

LesLavandes · 25/05/2020 16:32

Main Brighton beach will defo not be calm!!!

cologne4711 · 25/05/2020 16:55

I've tried to see when and where these two photos were taken (pretty sure the Southend one surfaced last week) but I can't. Does anyone know how? If I download the image to my computer it says I took it today and although I've looked in Google Console I'm not clever enough to work out where to look.
