It’s fair to say Bournemouth beach was a little bit crowded – 9 favourite things people said about it

As you will no doubt have seen on the news, it was a bit busy on Bournemouth beach yesterday.

So busy, in fact, that a major incident was declared after tens of thousands of people turned up despite pleas to stay away because of coronavirus.

And here are our favourite 9 things people said about it.

For any surfers out there, just head for Bournemouth in about two weeks time when you should be able to ride an enormous second wave.#bournemouthbeach #COVIDIDIOTS pic.twitter.com/iOYUniAFFZ

Alexa. Show me what happens when a government gives up on clear messaging, ignores its chief adviser breaking the rules and tells us to rely on common sense.https://t.co/vio9RkfzOu

Don't blame the people who descended on Bournemouth. Blame the useless government, desperate for popularity – whose mixed messages and hypocrisy caused it to happen.

If there is any genuine confusion about the efficacy of an app as opposed to track & trace being done entirely by memory & spoken word, just consider this question: how many people on Bournemouth beach today will be able to provide details of everyone they came into contact with?

You know what, these scenes of people soberly cramming themselves onto packed beaches are making me feel so optimistic about social distancing when everyone’s off their tits next week.

Flocking to very crowded beaches on very hot days is something I have never understood. And that is before you factor in the old “you might catch a potentially fatal disease and/or help plunge the country back into lockdown” angle.

To conclude …

Don't forget whose bullshit got us here. Bullshit messaging. Bullshit behaviour. Bullshit ethics. Bullshit upon bullshit. pic.twitter.com/qwOnUjJSFM
