Just heard a neighbour of mine say that someone has travelled up to Ross on Wye from Cross Hands and back today.
If I travelled from Carmarthen to Tenby this sunny evening I guarantee I would get stopped. |  | | |  |

I honestly don’t think anybody gives a f*ck about enforcing “lockdown” anymore. You can pretty much do whatever you like. |  |

As much as Cummings is a bastard and he shouldn’t be allowed to carry on due to the fact he’s broken the same rules he himself set, his attitude and behaviour is the same as a significant minority of the population who have just carried on regardless with the attitude of “It won’t do any harm if I...” | |

Think the Welsh Police are more concerned with catching the barbarian English hordes crossing the borders than local transgressors. They're probably staking out the main attractions like Tenby and nabbing them there.
English coppers don't give a shit about Welsh in Ross on Wye as it's OK on that side of the border. |  |

You have a point, although not many knowingly take someone who has the virus in a car trip across England.
Its Classic Dom, and very stupid. |  |

And besides, the supermarkets have cheaper booze there thanks to the Welsh Government. [Post edited 29 May 2020 21:42]

So not only is Cummings a b'stard for doing what he did, he's useless at his job too because he obviously didn't set and explain the rules properly or persuade everyone to stick with them?
Maybe Bojo should take over. | |

I am incandescent with rage at the £3.14 rise in the price of a bottle of Lidl Gin. | |

I drove past Barnes Bridge this afternoon - you’d have thought the boat race was on. Everyone drinking takeaway beers, presumably from the pubs across the road. |  | | |

Its all going to go tits up from 15th. Everyone is moving about freely as it is, when the shops open in England many will cross the boarder to go shopping, loads are working in England anyway. South East Wales will go to Bristol, Mid Wales to the West Midlands and North Wales to Chester ect. You will see it from Monday with anyone who wants to buy a new car. If Drakford doesn't address this somehow the Welsh economy will take a hammering and there will be many disgruntled businesses. |  | | |

My mate says that there is a queue of cars over the bridge at Chepstow into the Wye Valley and has been all week. She says there were a couple of m/c cops stopping a few cars until last week and now they have simply given up as it is pointless. Might as well just forget it, open everything up and let anybody that wants to risk infecting themselves. Just give them the warnings. Anything else will probably become form over substance in very short order anyway. |  |

Still getting 2,000 new cases every day | | | |
| Slipping through the net on 11:34 - May 30 with 1430 views | sainthelens |
Basically down to the weather. People are teed off staying in now made impossible with current heatwave. If this was middle of November then lockdown would still be adhered to.
Simples. |  | | |

Apparently large crowds outside pubs in Swansea that are doing ‘takeaway beers’ last night.
Read a comment on Facebook that there looked to be 100 odd people outside the Riverhouse in SA1 last night. No idea if true though. |  |

By no means perfect but after a zoom with family in Spain this morning I was sent this.
I suppose this is what a real lockdown achieves.

That's the cases we know about. Without mass testing we'll never know how many new cases there really are.
Humans can be self destructive, common sense over ridden by personal desire. Maybe the day is coming when Bojo says lets move on, back to normal everyone and we can all pay the price.
My immediate neighbour is of the opinion we just need to get on with it, besides he has a holiday in Spain booked for next month and he can't miss that and lots of 18-24 yr olds have been enjoying the sun anyway,

As long as you keep the distance, wazz in a bush if required what is the problem? Seriosly i have worked through and have met people from all over the country and Europe. Keep to the rules for sanitising and thats all you can do.
Lets open up safely and as quickly as possible as people are going to ignore the basics and say eff it. |  | | |

Agree 100% but action, common sense and discipline are all disappearing over the horizon so hope may soon be all we have unless we have record June rainfall to keep everyone indoors instead of on the nation's beaches. |  | | |
