This Hokey Cokey video doing the rounds

A large group of adults with children doing a big Hokey Cokey in the park at the weekend.

Why do people think because the kids are back at school all bets are off? The trade off of the kids going back is we have to do hold off with mixing for a while.

Ah the Hokey Cokey.

That’s what it’s all about.

@RhubarbCustardy

"Notrub" My remark was tongue-in-cheek. Totally agree with you. I don't think people should be doing this at all. It's totally shit and undoing all the sticking to the rules that loads of people have been doing.
Hmm

FGS get a grip
Outside risk is very small and from what I see lots of people are no longer following that restriction

NewYearNewTwatName · 16/03/2021 05:48

yeah they didn't think it through properly. I'd have gone for Ring a Ring of Roses.

There are other videos of this showing children performing a dance so it will have been an organised event. No idea why a performance to watch children dance had to include the Hokey Cokey.

The screenshot looks like a lot of people queueing not doing the hokey cokey , the people at the back don't appear to be holding onto each other, perhaps they believed they had joined a queue for refreshments and just thought those in front were a bit giddy ?

Yawn! Oh look how DARE people enjoy themselves. Arrest people for breathing next.

Layladylay234 · 16/03/2021 06:59

Where's the video is what I want to know!

I’m just watching a BBC news item about a young mother whose cancer diagnosis was delayed. There’s another young man in the same position. Over a million women have missed breast cancer screening. Thousands and thousands of people are walking around with undiagnosed cancer.

But yeah, let’s outrage about the fucking Hokey Cokey 🙄

Let's just all ignore the rule of law then and descend into full blown anarchy.

@User133847 I'd taken anarchy over Stalinism any day of the week.

People like you give a wonderful insight into how nations accidentally slide into totalitarianism.

Bee2543 · 16/03/2021 09:44

I'd love to know how this came about. Was there a fb group saying "Come down to the park at 10am for a massive Hokey Cokey!" Or someone shouts in the park "Come on everyone, let's to the hokey cokey!!" This is taking up far too much headspace. I need to know!! Grin

user1487194234 · 16/03/2021 10:50

Anarchy ?!
OK

Inthevirtualwaitingroom · 16/03/2021 10:53

bit odd

Inthevirtualwaitingroom · 16/03/2021 10:54

ring a ring a rosies would have been perfect!

Inthevirtualwaitingroom · 16/03/2021 10:55

done slowly and menacingly

Inthevirtualwaitingroom · 16/03/2021 10:56

Oh thanks for making me laugh for the first time since my 11 year old got sent home at 12pm to isolate due to a case.

And yes,bring in the anarchy if people complaining about the fucking hokey cokey is the alternative

Let them get on with it , why bother working yourself up about the Hokey Cokey . Transmission outside is low , they’re not meeting right in the middle either . People need to start managing their own risk levels . Not something I would be comfortable with and the Hokey Cokey is so corny but seriously .... chill out .

CuriousaboutSamphire · 16/03/2021 14:42

Just to repeat.

Hokey pokey - cute fun, no problem

Vigil for murdered woman - change the law, ban all protests.

Eyes wider people!

RosieLemonade · 16/03/2021 14:59

@PrincessNutNuts

Where's the screenshot of policemen wrestling women to the ground "for their own safety" Hmm

If you can't have a vigil you can't have a Hokey Cokey.

First time I have ever agreed with you Nutty.

There's a first time for everything. Grin

Equal application of the law seems quite important when we've seen women pinned to the ground and fined under covid laws - outside.
