Mass evacuation of London

[madcatladyforever]

just seen yesterdays videos of the mass evacuation of people from London to go and spend christmas elsewhere before it's too late.
Well done Londeners thanks for spreading the virus mutation ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
Now waiting for tier 4 all over the country in the new year.
Because your christmas is so much more important than anybody elses health.
This is how it all started, no action in Wuhan, a few days later it's been flown all over the world, fantastic.
Mark my words the new year will be hell.

Londoners with second homes are unlikely to be rammed onto a train
They don’t do cattle class

@mumsneedwine

I didn't see one suitcase in those pictures. So assume everyone 'fleeing' intends to spend the next few weeks naked. Happy Christmas to them 🎄

They'll regret that, it's cold in Hull this time of year

@ceeveebee

Really happy that my neighbour’s son, wife and kids have arrived from London last night no doubt to stay for the next week - that was never legal even under the old rules. We are greater Manchester, tier 3 and have had our rates plummet recently. Fuming. So selfish

We in Greater Manchester have been in the equivalent of Tier 3 since before Tier 3 even existed. Extra restrictions (including no socialising in private gardens) were imposed at the end of July - just a few hours before the Eid weekend - and were never revoked. We're still in Tier 3 even though the rates in our area are well below the national average. Kudos to Lisa Nandy for pointing this out on The Andrew Marr Show this morning.

@Ceeveebee - I hope you have put tin foil on your party walls, so that the virus from your neighbour's son (stinking evacuee Londoner) doesn't pervade through the brickwork.

People leaving London for the holiday aren't Londoners. They're people from less affluent parts who have done as the Tories asked and "got on their bike" to find work. Especially people doing it by public transport. I bet there weren't many families off to second homes with all the presents in backpacks!

Op I think you mean Exodus

@madcatladyforever quick! Join forces with the other hysterical, self righteous muppets to form a breathlessly outraged barrier at the Watford Gap!

Save the utopia of the north from the virulent Cockney Covid that had been stopping at the boundary of the m25 prior to last night!

Fight all 9 million Londoners with your clutched pearls and heaving bosoms, as we decamp en masse to the sun lit uplands of Hull, via the 12pm Arriva train!

Or, maybe, get a fucking grip.
And stop reading the Daily Mail as fact.

When I first came to ldn and my kettle got all crusty, I threw it out. Thought I’d a dodgy kettle Till someone told me. That’s how it is, get used to a kettle with bits

Conversely, when I first came up north where the water's really soft, I made myself a cup of tea at a friend's house and was perplexed by their rather shabby kettle being sparkling clean inside. 'Have you had a new element fitted to this kettle?' I asked, to their bewilderment.

Diana - do fuck off dear

Euston, Kings X etc have commuter trains to the suburbs and commuter towns just outside London.....Watford, St Albans, Stevenage etc. So they you know have been going home after work.

Quit all the overreaction. It was highly unlikely they were all sniggering off to North Wales and Scotland

Buggering, not sniggering

I know I stare longingly at unfurry kettles. Reminiscing that’s how a kettle should be

@ceeveebee - I can't. I'm busy tunneling my way out of London. We're being shot at on the borders, so I've got hundreds of virus-ridden people behind me desperate to get north of Coventry for some mince pies.

Think all the London haters think there is a sniggering snottery mass being all bugsy and infectious, sneezing their way northwards

@ OP well done for being so mindless to believe the news headline attached to any random photo of their choice. I doubt there’s a mass evacuation you idiot.

🤣🤣🤣

@madcatladyforever and you do understand that the ‘mass evacuations’ you were ‘seeing’ courtesy of the Daily Mail and hysteria mongers on social media included people who work in London going home at the end of that day or people from outside of London coming in to shop.

When they’d left home yesterday morning that was perfectly legal and encouraged.

And that the majority of people leaving London for Christmas are not Londoners but likely northerners returning to their families.

Actual Londoners are mostly staying put so they can have Christmas in their homes and near their families and social bubbles.

Unless you actually are as thick as you are making yourself look?

We live in a London outer borough.

An acquaintance of mine was supposed to be going to a tier 2 area holiday house for Christmas.
After the announcement yesterday they booked a travel lodge in a nearby town to the holiday house and travelled there yesterday evening.

I mean, it’s one fucking year and the family live about a 10 min walk from each other, I’m sure they’d have managed.

Ooh, tunnelling, eh? Time to release the ferret army!

@HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee😂😂

You are a 5th columnist.

Everyone knows Coventry is home of Coventry Godcakes not mince pies.

On a more serious note I know a lot of sad people who were really looking forward to seeing their family over Xmas, but have cancelled their plans.
We were going to do a quick driveway/ garden hello to our DMs, but now we won't, as they are 45mins away in another county (we're all tier 4).
And I'll be back at work next week as community frontline NHS, working with lots of people who haven't been able to see family at Xmas either.

So I really don't appreciate the "LOOK AT THE SELFISH LONDONERS" accusations.

Something tells me the OP won't be returning to defend her comments. I can't imagine why.

She's manning the barricades just outside Hull.

Haha yes, pass me those molotovs!
