What a load of selfish ba$tards!!!
What are they trying to prove, friggin idiots!
I'd like to bet that they would want to be at the front of the queue when the vaccines are dished out!
Makes my blood boil!!

Blood on their hands

[royfromaus]

Very quiet evening, Mamy.
Normally there would be some music banging out but not tonight out of respect for my neighbour (recently lost his wife)

I would have thought Corbyn would have been arrested but the police let him barge by.

[Mamyalynne]

That's fair re your neighbours, there's always daytime to make noise, mine though older than me are very understanding.

Yes, Piers seems to have a charmed existence.

[sevenOP]

Maybe give him a taste of his sibling's treatment ?

“Blood on their hands” ???

You total prat. Get a grip.

[grumpy01]

Surely giving them the publicity they crave is an issue.If ever there was justification for using water canon and tear gas this was it.C’mon Boris your insisting we obey the lockdown restrictions,which sensible people are complying,then all these people are roaming around,no masks etc possibly infecting Police and anyone else caught up in the melee and yet no punishment.

[emmie]

if this is Piers he has already been fined 10grand, wonder if that has been paid.
they sold the water cannons i believe, possibly for scrap

[grumpy01]

That figures Emmie.

[grumpy01]

Another example of bad judgment by our P.M. surely should have ensured they could be used,if necessary,before wasting that sort of money.

[emmie]

i am not surprised this has happened, he has been leading these demos for months. what are the police doing...

[emmie]

no idea, but think they were brought it for the 2011 riots,

[grumpy01]

What can they do?Dick of Dock Green sends them out with metaphorically,one hand tied behind their back.

[naomi24]

Those water cannon were bought when Boris was Mayor of London. His request to use them was rejected by both sides of the house.

[emmie]

so it would seem Noami, but they have been scrapped now, as to the police standing around, were they trying to disperse the crowds, it doesn't look like it.

[emmie]

i think that its not just Piers but many are ignoring the laws laid down, Bobbi post the other day showing Newcastle city centre which was crowded with shoppers, and plenty more places where people have ignored the rules, laws, you just can't police it, they don't have the manpower for one thing.

[emmie]

like people going to their family over the Christmas where you weren't supposed to, no one will know if you break the law, unless someone snitches on you which seems pretty unlikely, and besides which haven't the police got enough to be doing.
