How refreshing to to see the finger of blame being pointed at the people who don’t give a damn. It makes a change.

You mean the teenagers? I don’t the exact figure but I heard it reported some 900 tested positive thereafter and given that the majority flew back to Joburg or Bloem or Cape Town etc on fucking petri dishes… Stupid fucks.

Another way to describe it might be sick of being dragged back and forth by a government that doesn’t have a fucking clue.
You could write a small novel out of the outlandish promises Boris has made to the British public at this point, to where we are now - recklessly promising a restriction free Christmas that could never happen, and then inevitably having to snatch it back at the last minute. I know so many people who are already at breaking point who made plans over Christmas, only to have those plans torn up.
It isn’t fair, and after nearly a year of this shit, I’m past judging people who’ve had enough. I don’t know their backstory, and I don’t know what they’ve been through. But I do know they’ve had ten months of being lied to, had their hopes built up and then torn down, and bounced from pillar to post as the government has lurched from fuck up to fuck up

Jellied Eels? Good grief, of all the things. Some of the best seafood around here though as the fishing onshore and offshore is generally excellent. Holiday town this and we are smack bang in the middle of silly season in any case where vast numbers of inlanders come down to the coast.
Our government has made mistakes like it seems all have but I have never been on their case too much. The decision to stay at a lower lock down level was debated but generally accepted to be the right one because as a developing country in many respects and one where the tourism sector is much more vital to the entire economy than most countries, a harsh lockdown would have been the end for a vast number of South Africans.
So protocols are in place which establishments and patrons are to adhere to with sanctions ranging from fines, possible imprisonment of management and patrons to closure etc. The beaches are to be closed on the busiest days (it actually worked the last public holiday last week) to avoid masses of people in parking lots, promenades and the beaches themselves. The warnings are clear; the virus is deadly, the virus is here, cases are increasing and these are the rules but this period is vital to the economy and people’s livelihoods and ability to put food on the table so it will proceed.
Naturally, a significant part of people that get here don’t give a fuck and clog up the pubs and bars and shops or wander about en masse without masks etc. Give most people an inch and they will try their best to take a mile without a thought to the person down the line. The hospitals are filling up, bed spaces are becoming limited but ‘fuck you I’m going to carry on MY way’.
We go absolutely nowhere now. I have to make a trip to buy some toys just now but I plan on getting there an hour before the mall opens to find a parking close to the entrance, in and fucking out. My son plays with nobody in our complex (that’s fucking hard to explain and manage). Everything we do is planned with military.precision from going to work to going to the shops. It’s fucking insane and maddening then to see so many of these people, whose commerce we need no doubt, act like complete morons.

The clue was “ I’m in Margate and the holiday season is in full swing”.
I really don’t fancy going to the other Margate in December.

They’ve all buggered off as well. A pod of orca had developed a taste for them by all accounts.

Totally agree with this.
I totally understand full lockdowns if required but I cannot accept these partial lockdowns where that I can go get haircut, go gym, go beauty salon but can’t go pub or see family over Xmas. They then come out and say gyms have a low transmission rate which is bollocks of course. There’s no difference between a gym and a supermarket 8n terms of social distances (down my gym anyway).
People are sick of this now. You just can’t keep opening stuff and then shutting it down. People who run their own business are going out of business on a daily basis. Talk is 3 pubs in my area won’t ever open again.
1000s will ignore the rules over Xmas and I don’t blame them.
That cunt categorically said you can have Xmas then takes it away 5 days before which is unacceptable.
They now say mutant strain…seasonal flu probably. All the new hospitals in London built for this are still closed and not being used.
If you’re sensible you will be fine. I don’t get this notion that families and friends will all start licking each other if they meet.
