Meat Liqour(ED) in the Daily Mail

I would hardly say huge queues but a friend who lives in ED says it has been very busy on the Lane recently with minimal social distancing.

[rupert james]

Did you not know those that live in ED are special and are not effected by anything, I am told their sh...t does not even stink.

When will people do the right thing towards others.

Bit embarrassing for those caught on camera in Daily Mail as I'm sure their silhouettes are recognisable to their friends and family. There is a general lack of common sense but nothing quite beats the two women I saw outside M&S recently who kept minimum of 2 metres apart BUT both lovingly cuddled the same dog (I'm sure there was also some dog tongue involved as well).

[bsand]

Never mind eh King's College Hospital is just down the road should their insatiable desire for an overpriced burger get too much.

The Mail story is portraying this as Lockdown End however not as a bad thing.

"Hancock welcomes return to work and says businesses that are reopening never needed to close: Traffic returns to London's A40 as 10 per cent more cars hit the roads, while huge queues form outside burger chain"

Hancock possible quote in Mail tomorrow

"there never was a lockdown"

[bsand]

They have craftily changed their headline now!

The link actually says Meatliquor in West London

Well said. "But I'm entitled to have my ice cream/burgers/coffee, I don't care if people have to walk in the road to get around me. Me, me, me, me that's all I care about. Stuff the rest of you".

[bsand]

The video is definitely ED.

[teddyboy23]

Every day for the last few weeks ,on TV in newspapers 100 s of people dying every day .yet all these pricks still doing what they want.walking running in groups sunbathing in parks strolling down the lane with their essential cup of coffee .taking selfies stopping on the pavement to talk to other people.blocking the way .if this is a lockdown what a fcuking joke .take these jackasses down the morgues ,and give them a taste of reality .

[Rockets]

But are the police there to move people on or get their own takeaway they are actually checking out the menu!

There seems to be a serial leaker of stories or a Daily Mail journalist within our midsts.....

[hellosailor]

The police were indeed there to pick up takeaway burgers which were brought out to them by staff and handed to them in their van, not to dissipate the ?huge queue? of 5 or 6 people.

Not like the Mail to lie......

A Sherlock could work out the angle the video was taken from looks like a first-floor window diagonally opposite. 'Covidiots' in ED you will be photoed and shamed in the DM.

I am clearly living in another planet. Well a different planet to much of SE22. As what I see on the fringes of SE22, SE23, SE4, SE10 and the like are people behaving themselves, people being courteous, making way, smiling, clapping the front line workers etc etc. The odd annoying person on their phone oblivious or doubling back in the supermarket isle, a few arses driving at 60mph, no doubt a few journeys that are unnecessary and people not living together socialising, mainly at a distance. But not masses.

Can somebody explain if things are really that different as you travel towards Goose Green. Are there hordes of entitled people taking the P?

That's a serious question as I am just not seeing it in my area and on my daily exercise.

[teddyboy23]

Malumbu I didn't say people were misbehaving .its just the sheer number of people on the street.its not just dulwich its all over the country check today's papers .numbers are up in parks beaches .more traffic on the roads .OK the weathers not helping .this virus is killing people of all ages ,people could have it and have no symptoms yet still infect other people ,why take a chance.you say you exercise every day what time of day do you come out.early morning between 5am 7am streets parks pretty clear .8am onwards hundreds of more people every where and not just shopping.if people want to somehow get back to normal,stop taking the piss .its good clapping for the hardworking NHS .but that's not going to help save life's .its been a few weeks not years what's so hard about that .other countries had complete lockdown for months.and abided by the rules.and even if you are on a different planet . I bet even you have seen this message stay home save lives protect the NHS ☺

[bsand]

I live now on the London borders wit ha big garden so it's easier for most folks here to stay at home. Back in ED with lots of flats and smaller gardens the stir-crazy nature of the lockdown is no doubt more acute.

LOL it's not me although I worked in the newspaper industry once (in IT)

When the riots were on I was tempted to take a few photos when I was wandering around but I don't think it would have gone down well with the crowd that were out and about :)

[malumbu]

So we have a government that has to balance economics, personal liberties, civil unrest, caring responsibilities and general quality of life whilst ensuring that the transmission rate remains at less than one. There are shots of a couple of dozen people surfing at Scarborough. They may be thinking 'this is my daily permitted exercise', 'I'm not going to catch Covid 19 in sea water', 'I'm socially distancing', The second two may be valid. I could join them, if I was prepared to drive to Scarborough, learn to surf, find somewhere to stay, by a wet or dry suit. Which I'm not.

Our beaches remain generally empty. Yet there are people who rage on about this, and use pretty emotive language. I'm still struggling to work out why and how this helps the situation. Now if there were 100s of surfers on Scarborough beach I expect the copes would be there PDQ.

So I am enraged. I've just been shopping on Forest Hill Road. And two twots in succession parked on the zig zags. I'd happily have the cars crushed to teach them a lesson. I was even brave enough to ask one of them not to park on zig zags.

Or I could start a thread on selfish pricks parking on zig zags and endangering life. I don't how this helps in the slightest. Some informed debates on why these selfish pricks do it, and how we can encourage otherwise through good citizenship or enforcement, and collectively influence the posers that be. is useful. And someone may say, 'get a life Malumbu, it is a tiny proportion of motorists'. I think the same applies to the current situation. Still dunno why there are a number of angry people on this site.

With regards to the picture of the front of @MEATliquorED

The Police arrived in a van all together and ordered. When the food was ready we delivered to their van. 3 uber drivers waiting for collection and some more passers by and someone waiting for a bus at the bus stop
