Sooo…has anyone been charged or is this like the big speeding & road abuse clamp down of October?
Speaking of those that broke government Covid laws, where are the summonses for Caines and DeSilva?
STUPID STUPID PEOPLE. LOCK THEM UP AND PUBLISH THEIR NAME. TOTAL ASSES.
There’s no shortage of people here who will do what they want , when they want and how they want to do it. Laws don’t apply to them , they scoff at people who do observe laws.
For proof just take a 10 minute drive on the roads at any time of the day.
Let be honest why do we have this curfew? 11:00 I knock off at 5 that still gives me at least another 5 hours to go mingle with friends. Oh because we don’t want people out during the holidays like parties on New Years. I’ll just stay over that persons house all night, who going to sleep anyway. Oh right they trying to keep us safe by making us stay at home but still letting people on the island from England who have had an outbreak of a stronger covid strand. Oh the government cares about its people. Ya right! Get rid of this curfew cause it’s ridiculous and band flights from England then that will show you care. Don’t come back about the numbers are climbing and your so upset. Be upset with yourself cause you still have the borders open to places where COVID is spreading rapid. Blame yourself!
AGREED
Well that’s a much needed $100K in the government’s pocket…..oh, hang on……that presumes they will prosecute according to the law they just created, and that would be far too sensible.
