Why hasn’t London locked down?
Originally posted by Whorty View PostDo you not think you're a bit of a twat celebrating the spread of the virus, and the potential deaths, in our capital? This says so much more about you PG, and nothing about Londoners (most of whom are not originally from London) who you despise.
Sunbathing in the park, riding your bike along the river, none essential shopping.
You can’t say you weren’t warned.

As for flaunting the rules, everything you mention were advised by the government as ok activities so long as people kept a 2m distance. We are still being told we can go out once a day to walk, run, cycle etc.
The high numbers of cases in London is because it's a major city with a large population, many of whom don't live near their place of work and hence need to use public transport - these are the key workers I'm referring to. Unlike us who live in the sticks and can drive to work, park free, no congestion charge .... these poor sods who run our key services are crammed into buses, trains and the tube.
Instead of being a dick, step back and have a think about what you're saying.Last edited by Whorty; 29 March 2020, 10:02.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Cycle rides and walks aren’t essential; if you can avoid then you should.
Christ alive Italy has been telling us this for weeks.
