"Good solid British common sense"


After camp                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Source: Twitter

"Today RSPB #Haweswater and @unitedutilities staff, and dedicated RSPB volunteers, spent 4 hours clearing more mess from groups camping on our reserve." - Twitter


"Boris Johnson told MPs that 'good solid British common sense' had worked throughout phase one [of the lockdown rules to combat coronavirus] and he had 'no doubt' it would work in the second phase of fighting the disease."

Despite the sterling efforts of the many, there are always a few who can be relied on to undo the good work done by those keeping to the rules.

Health leaders have warned that UK must prepare for a second Coronavirus virus wave.

Not only will there will be more litter for others to clear up but more people will have their lives put in danger adding more strain on weary NHS staff unless the thoughtless minority start showing the common sense referred to by the Prime Minister.

    I find that the problem with "Common sense" is that it is becoming less and less common.

  2. camping in the middle of nowhere for a fortnight having driven there is probably 1000x safer than going one stop on the London underground or a bus journey.

    1. They should send them back to her and tell her where to shove them.

  4. Interesting Rob. Let's hope that the retired clergy dispose of her PTOs in accordance with the Bournemouth Beach method.
