It may sound critical.....

It's difficult not to sound critical at the moment. Actually I feel enraged, saddened and unable to understand my fellow human beings (some of them).

So often we have been warned about the dangers of a new spike of the virus if we are careless about Social distancing.

Yet these are pictures of Bournemouth beach during one of the hottest days of the year this week. Not only in Bournemouth, but in Brighton and as far West as beaches in Cornwall, the same idiotic and risky behaviour reigned.

 Behind the sunbathers, all half a million of them on the same beach, there lay a trail of disgusting litter.

Today volunteers have been clearing tonnes, not just a few bags, but tonnes, of rubbish, including old BBQs , beach chairs, food and so on.

There are comments from politicians, such as 

'it's been a hard 3 months in lockdown'....

'People need an escape valve'

We look back to the 5 years of wartime. 

No Social media. 

No Zoom. 

No lessons on line. 

Very little food. No supermarket deliveries.

 Queues a mile long for 2 oz butter etc.

Husbands fighting away.

Children evacuated.

Bombs falling.

It makes me sigh when three months lockdown is regarded as an excuse for the appalling and risky behaviour of some of the population.
