At least Cummings was sat in his car and not wandering around protesting. Hypocritical cunts. I agree with the right to protest but there is a time and a place and it's not now. They are lumping all sorts of protests into one
 
so much for social distancing. thousands more could now die because of these idiots. look forward to seeing newspapers and tv channels criticizing them (not)

the infection rate is one of if not the worst in the country in the northwest. are these people a bit thick?

maybe that is the plan ??? the world powers are controling the population and the world is not big enough and we are quickly killing earth ? so if a world war can not happen then next best thing is the killing of millions of humans with a killer virus ??

What a load of selfish bastards we have here in the UK.No fucking thought for our wonderful NHS people.A case of "fuck you I`m alright Jack".If we get a sudden surge of Covid19 cases we know which type of cunts are to blame.
I fully support the outrage of what happened to George but this type of action,at this time could spell a disastrous further outbreak.
I hope all of them contact bad cat aids.

presume this also goes for those who crammed on to beaches last weekend ?

Whilst I sympathise greatly with the cause, this is absolute madness in the current climate:

I dunno. The pictures make me uneasy but we've been bombarded with images of people crowding onto beaches and in parks for a couple of weeks now. This is the first chance in years where a lot of people feel their chance to be heard and I feel like it's not really for me to judge on whether they should be doing this or not. People will argue that racism has been killing people for generations and will continue to do so if we don't act. It sort of feels like a once in a generation opportunity to be heard and I can understand why on balance people want to take it. Even though I'm anxious about what's happening, i just feel like it isn't the place of a white person to say "not now".

I still think this is a lot less dangerous than seeing people crammed into trains and buses. And I think politicians working in windowless chambers at parliament is far more dangerous than people protesting outside.

As someone who has had to observe lockdown stringently due to shielding my parents, I've grown pretty weary of a lot of behaviour I've seen in recent weeks. This isnt something I can feel angry about though and if we see a second spike I think it will be more to do with people returning to indoor spaces without the correct controls in place rather than stuff like this. Unfortunately, I think people will blame these protestors.

Perhaps if we had our world class track and trace system in place it could have helped contain any potential transmissions at events like this.

You can bank on it, and I am happy to call Cummings a ****, equally happy to call each and every one of these a **** as well.

The pandemic is an unfortunate coincidence, however, like every other time, waiting would allow things to be ignored.

People are not stupid, they see this as "important" too.

Nobody has held guns to their heads to march.

They have decided to do so anyway.

Well I'm sure they will be seen to have made a wise decision when we go back into lockdown and people who follow the rules are infected by those who think that demonstrating is more important than human life.The loss of George Floyd's life was lamentable but the virus is a matter of life and death for thousands
 
As a society we’re doomed. What happened in the US was a disgrace. There is racism in the US and in the UK and it needs to be addressed. But having a mass social gathering in the current climate is two fingers to everyone who so observantly followed the lockdown and the NHS. I’m guessing the lack of media outrage is due to it not fitting their agenda?

Sorry this is absolute foolishness. This is going to be weeks more of people dying of this disease all because of a murder on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. They should be water cannoning the idiots.

As I said, I think a lot more stuff has been going on everyday that is more likely to contribute to a second spike than an outdoor protest. I see a lot less outrage about that from people and i think I know why.
