Photos are out and they are indeed sickening to the point of blatant stupidity.
It all started with a good intent, as Clap for Carers event was taken on the Westminster Bridge to honor the frontline staff. The onlookers, when clapping, should have been explicitly warned by the police to actually stay 6ft away from each other, but as it turns out the crowd was in a hot mess and the police was very adamant about the whole control thing. The Met Police chief, Cressida, Dick, was heavily criticized online after she got to join the crowds, take selfies and do whatever she pleased like the rest of the mindless lot. She is now unofficially ‘worst commissioner of all time’ according to social media users.
The bridge was a catastrophe, with ambulances ringing off their sirens while emergency workers actually were chatting with the crowd members.
In other parts of the UK, mostly what the people would do is step out onto their doorsteps to commemorate the sacrificial spirit of the emergency workers as well as the NHS staff. This act of pure violation of the current lockdown measures are a thing of obvious eventual criticism.
It is indeed a clear breach of principles and pure human sense.
MP for Telford Lucy Allan took to Twitter saying: ‘How did this happen again? You can’t comfort your loved one on their death bed, but it’s fine to go Westminster Bridge and party on a Thursday.
’ Another wrote: ‘More stupidity on Westminster Bridge. Please explain Matt Hancock’ Bryn Jones said: ‘Can you explain why this was allowed to happen this evening on #WestminsterBridge? Were no lessons learnt from last week’s fiasco @metpoliceuk @MayorofLondon? ‘No wonder we are having hundreds of deaths day after day from #coronavirus #ClapForCarers should only be a doorstep thing.
’ And Thomas Hunter added: ‘Westminster Bridge tonight. Yet they’re telling us all we cant even put our kids on the swings at the park….’
Last week, junior doctor Damir Rafi said: ‘I’m a doctor working at the hospital that’s right there. And yes, I was also somewhat perplexed by the lack of social distancing.’
Number 10 said: ‘We would ask that everyone takes responsibility and adheres to social distancing rules so that we can safely show our appreciation for those who are working so hard to fight coronavirus.
We would ask that in showing their appreciation for those who are working so hard as carers, they do so in a way which adheres to the social distancing rules.’
