I'm old enough to remember when grannies in Preston voted to take away my rights and those of their grandchildren.

‘Don’t kill Granny’ I don’t think its young people you need to worry about

Its not a lockdown. Its only 1 restriction change. Simple as. That is not a lockdown!

Just getting ridiculous now.

About bloody time.

getting stuck into the younger generations now. What phase of Project Fear are governments and media at now? Given hospitalisations and deaths are both on the downward and have been for months?

Let's blame all young people for the Government's shameful hype of this virus, shall we? A nursery has been found to have 16 children with Covid. Those kids should be ashamed of themselves for not social distancing by wanting to closely play with one another. We need to ban play.

It has been farcical to hear politicians on all fronts, congratulating the great British public, who overwhelmingly followed the guidelines! 50% did, the other 50% stuck two fingers up and helped kill 45 thousand people! Great British public my arse! Shower of 💩! Sir Percy

We never should have left lockdown to begin with!

In other words, the definition of 'love' is 'always free'. To make this clear to you, the economic system is nothing but a 'compensation' in return for a reward. I will not mention it further.

This corona turmoil is merely a 'leverage' in every economic sector. As I said to you, when love sees things and events of the world in the first sense, it does not exist after the second sense.

'Granny stay indoors'.

Blame shifting again!

Its not JUST the young but they are a factor near me. 13-20 somethings are NOT socially distancing, never have been. Friends son been to 3 x 18th Parties in last 3 mnths & has another 2 in August all with no safety measures, inevitable it will spread there.

Oh groups of 6 only .unless it's to do with BLM .then thousands are allowed

The older generation couldn’t give a toss about lockdown as well, why is it always the younger generation that gets blamed when the old people are just as much at fault

Good stop them

If people follow the rules ,just might be ok .

So how many covid deaths recently in Preston then to cause a lockdown and how many in hospital ?

In my local last night it was like gay night. All these lads under 25-ish hugging each other 🙄

..do they have 'Grannies' in Preston....? Surely they are 'arh Nan'...?

HERD IMMUNITY Go young people!

Again government at fault saying that kids are not at risk. More confusing messeges. No good blaming kids. Remember how we all knew it all when we were young . It was easy for us we didn't have to grow up in a world like this. We should talk to the kids. Give them more credit 🙏

Send in the army

People understand the rules, they just don’t want to follow them. When the pubs and non-essential shops are closed and only the supermarkets are open, they will have themselves to blame. Of course they’ll try to lay the blame elsewhere, no doubt supported by MSM

British government account

Super Young People in Preston 💕😘❤️👍🇬🇧

Cops are allergic to beaches. It maybe the covid effect.

But they're allowed to go and spend in pubs, bars, restaurants etc., and leave to go on holiday in areas sans lockdown?!? 😂

Download the Apps kids Get tracked and traced to eat out This is where it leads

Why should young people forfeit their lives to give granny an extra 6 months of life ?

Oh if only they were members of BLM then they would b allowed to do whatever they wanted and the police would prostrate themselves and we would all live happily together.

Yeah let's guilt trip people again since too many are waking up to this bullshit.

When those who are most vulnerable like those in care homes and dependent on community care with underlying heath conditions should be. Can the government really be this stupid?

ian_ackley

Maybe if the media and government hadn't been peddling the whole 'kids can't catch the virus' message then we wouldn't be in this situation

It a bid hard on grandfathers!

Wish you luck on that one! They seem to be very ignorant up there! 30 youths outside train station spitting everywhere! Guess you can’t educate the uneducationable! 😱😩

Oh, it's those teenagers who think they already know it all and ignore those that have experience..... well, this is really going to work when they return to school next month. Third spike anyone?

Meanwhile...in Bournemouth....

So if it’s youngsters spreading it how’s that going to work with Schools , Uni & Colleges

Don't kill granny ? Give me a fucking break 😒

Yeah, Youngsters who dont listen to advice..

Always blaming someone for the mess we are in!

Some joke

Coronavirus: Young people warned 'don't kill granny' as lockdown measures reimposed in PrestonLocal leaders in Preston have blamed households mixing in pubs and other homes for restrictions having to be reimposed. Young people don’t see granny. The handful of young people with responsible positions dealing with the elderly or with elderly relatives at home won’t be going out with mates. Why does everyone have to conflate and generalise everything? Are they all morons? Blackmail for a risk that is practically nonexistent. From people that I know who work in care homes, the majority of the people that died had other issues that where known or not known about at the time, the fittest elderly people just carried on as normal , it just brought some inevitable deaths forward however sad it is
