Party Time?

[hoff135]

Haven't heard of any local being fined - where has that been happening?

I have heard of people being fined and given warnings but cant confirm. I have been stopped on my way to some land and questioned about it. Essentially we are not meant to go 5 miles but some have come 500 miles

Nothing popped up on the various A9 Roadwatch, Highland traffic, etc. FB groups I follow. I'd be surprised if it's anything more than a very few isolated cases.

Travelling 500 miles is fine though, if it's to work in a socially isolated manner but you can't do it from home. There will be quite a few that fall into that category - I was well over 100 miles for mine, and would have been perfectly defensible if stopped.

Wagon driver in the other day. Saying where he was from the folk who used to go to the pub every night have been congregating in someones house.
Couple of nights ago that town was mentioned as having a very high infection rate.
No cure for stupid

Evolution in progress.
Tragic though if they end up killing their older relatives. Inheritance tactic perhaps

He went home, as we were all told to do. You can't deny someone access to their immediate family and household for an indeterminate period of time, just because .

I can't believe I'm defending him, but you're being unreasonable if you expect what you've suggested.

Why? If my job was down in London and I had a house down there why shouldn’t I have to go to work?

They came to their estate to go fishing. Crossed another mans land who does not own the fishing rights. People who work on the estate are fuloughed but still working.

Im sure they can justify the trip to their second home by saying it is for work

Because if you can safely work from home, you should do that as a first choice. Them's the rules. Only if wfh is not possible should you work from office, and only then if possible whilst maintaining distances etc.

Taking the p155. But shame on the workers for working - if you're furloughed, you do nothing. Let the employers decide if they want work (and pay for it) or not (and claim furlough money). Yeah, they've been pressured into it but they're complicit in breaking the rules.

I know a few people still working on furlough

I know of others that have come up from the south. But my gripe is not with them. It is with the government. For me this virus is not something that bothers me. I am mid 30s fit and healthy. I consider myself low risk and probably far more in peril working with cattle.

I have basically followed the rules for the sake of others. Have not seen the OH in over 2 months. Entire life has been disrupted and then you have the rich traveling hundreds of miles to play themselves.

Felt like writing my mp, but im not actually a snitch.

Desperate times people will say sod the rules sadly

 

[DrWazzock]

Press now clamouring for the public to be allowed to go abroad on holiday without quarantine. This will spread it like wildfire and overwhelm what pitiful track and trace we have. Then the same press will be blaming the government for the inevitable second wave. What do the press and the public really want? Can’t have it both ways. Either be sensible, show a bit of self restraint and keep numbers down or lift all restraints and have a big second wave, kill a lot of vulnerable people and health workers.
Lost all patience with and trust in the press, media and public. Self serving hypocritical morons.

 

[DaveGrohl]

Press and media innit. Utter fekking shambles. All they exist for is to stir things up so that they can keep getting stories. They'll happily do it from both ends.

Having said that, I can't in any universe work out why we are bringing in a 14 quarantine NOW. Bizarre.
