Idiots piling onto packed trains out of London

[User158340]

By doing this they're putting whatever family or friends they're staying with at huge risk, not to mention the wider communities.

Also, the mindset of "it's within the rules because it's not midnight yet". It's not within the rules to breach social distancing. For goodness sake the trains are still running tomorrow so if you're going to break or bend the rules do it then when you won't be stood on a carriage with scores of other people.

‘If you can afford to live in London alone in your early 20's you are minted’

What a load of shit.

Ds had to got to London to get a job age 24. He was earning 22k a year and paid 850quid rent for a hovel. Hardly minted.

@Bluntness100

I can’t blame people for getting out so they are not in complete lock down.

I just think this tier four lockdown was the height of stupidity, of course people were going to do this. And now it’s going to be spread to many other areas, where it would not have done had tier four not been put in place. People are now staying much longer in different locations, going to shops, and out and about.

This is exactly what happened in italy. They shut down one part, ans everyone rushed to the other, and the whole country had a problem,. Didn’t we learn anything?

No, lessons are never learnt. They could have called this middle of last week and had a staggered tier to tier 4 .. none of this is easy of course, but things could have been handled a lot better. Boris Johnson ridiculed The opposition about ' cancelling Christmas' only last week and here we are! You Couldn't make it up ! Yet they still won't take any responsibility for their actions / sneering attitude.

@Bushola

Is it just me that thinks it ironic that all though this those who don’t wear a mask, branded conspiracy theorist anti vaxers, hard right right pub going gammon brexiters have been blamed for spreading this and called Covidits yet those scenes at St Pancras night appeared to be hipster millennial left wing woke BLM pro mask, FBPE remainer trendies from the expensive London flats?

You mean the demographic that were attending non-distanced marches during the first wave? They've hardly took Covid seriously.

So Fucking what all these busy body’s judging everyone. Some don’t want to be alone at Christmas or stuck in there flats with children. Wind your neck in you are being controlled by the government , some people have had enough and are willing to take the risk. Enough is enough.

It should have been an immediate lockdown.

Cocky selfish Londoners putting themselves first

Sod the rest of the county, londoners kill the northerners

‘Controlled by the government’😁

How would you have coped being ‘controlled’ by the government in the war?

Conscription
Blackout etc etc.

The government are shit, but are doing what every other government across the world is doing. They aren’t ‘controlling’ for the fun of it.

Surely it’s lots of non Londoners returning home after coming down here.

More likely northern youngsters returning to their parents. Why on earth would us southerners want to go up north when we can get to Paris quicker.

The idiot is Boris and the scientists for giving people 6 hours notice that tier 4 was happening of course it was going to cause a rush. It should have been tier 4 starts from 23rd so there was more notice like other announcements when made
Time was given to prepare.

Starting it from 23rd would give the virus much more opportunity to spread. Which is exactly why there was so little notice.

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow

And look at what a shit show it is , they don’t have a clue what there doing there a joke. Which is why il be doing whatever the hell I want and so will many others.

...and making sure it spreads everywhere then...

My local wait rose had the longest queue I've ever seen outside it today so (a) very few people of the 10 million of us have left and (b) if they had left I would have been able to actually get inside today

London should have been in tier 4 start of December.

Boris should have announced more restricted Xmas plans start of December also. Bubbles and mixing Xmas day only. It would have been better to plan for a tighter restricted Xmas and then when Christmas arrived either maintain the tighter restricted plan or ease up a little.

The government needs to move from reactive to proactive.

@JanewaysBun you’re not in Upminster by any chance are you? Because same 😂

@soleromimi no SW London sounds like everyone is doing a last min trolley dash!

If I was in London and my family were somewhere else then too right I'd have been on the train home. I bet a lot of those criticising people leaving work have done exactly the same

I would too!
I'm sorry but if people have made plans then stick to them. Yet again the gov fucked up and expect everyone to jump because he says. Nope!

@PinkSparklyPussyCat

Me too. If I’m stuck somewhere unhomely and if I don’t leave I have to spend Christmas there. I’d go to family.

M and S food hall was round the block this morning! I left that and went else where.
The queueing is a pain sometimes.

Proactive requires a level of competence and willingness to listen to advice that is entirely lacking in the current government.

@Coffeeandcocopops

I really don’t blame them. They are going home for Christmas.

They should have thought about how they may spread the new strain.

How do you enact an immediate lockdown? "Everyone stay where you are, regardless of whether you have somewhere to stay"? That's ridiculous. It cannot be done!

What if, f.i. you were working in London and you'd commuted in from somewhere outside?

@Porridgeoat

Sod the rest of the county, londoners kill the northerners

That's a ridiculous comment. Obviously the majority of people leaving London aren't Londoners, but people from outside London going home to their families.
