Landlord of pub linked to coronavirus outbreak says he was 'simply not strong enough' enforcing rules

Its bar manager Tanya Moran said the pub would remain closed until next weekend and was awaiting further guidance from the health authority."Because I am on the High Street I can see the see town is deserted which is a shame.

"I know all the other licensees will be hoping trade increases this weekend, and we will be hoping for the same thing ourselves next weekend.scheme has made a difference to some of the local restaurants, hopefully that will help."

Maureenffm Who in Stone (Staffs) has it in for the CrownAndAnchor? Supportive traders & councillors might not have told journalists that the flare-up had more impact than the 10 weeks of zero trade through wave 1 Tory failures. Or BBC journalistic licence?

Bit late now. Well done Div

You should be in jail no excuses

Then you must lose your licence as accountable you must be

Pubs are meant to be table service only. Keep the front door closed and control the number of people inside. How hard can it be? Pubs should not be crowded. There should be more punishment for the pubs which are not Covid compliant. 4 weeks closure should focus the mind.

I feel sorry for pub landlords, it shouldn't be their responsibility to enforce covid rules; it is up to each individual to do the right thing!

Sorry but that's such a pathetic excuse. His license should be revoked, along with licenses for all pub owners/landlords. The guidance is pretty clear.

Every pub doing different things .I thought there was ONE rule on entry

Difficult when you have to deal with a bunch of drunks

If he cant do his job remove his licence

None of the pub owners or staff are strong enough to enforce these rules. Its up to the government.

Sound like tell tale tits...

Full respect to his honesty. He's just one of many that aren't enforcing but really adult drinkers need to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing.

Good to see someone take responsibility for their inactions. But as pubs are mainly filled with adults , are people not responsible for their own actions. And realistically can one landlord be expected to control a pub full of drinkers.

simple maths, months lockdown x 10,000 'care home deaths in NORMAL times'+further deaths in care homes since this propoganda+death caused by no NHS urgent treatment = fake propoganda mortality, GENOCIDE OF THE ELDERLY, CRIMINALS

BULLSHIT, BBC YOU ARE LIARS

This isn't good. There are plenty of pubs in Greater Manchester that aren't 'enforcing rules'.

Bet his hands were strong enough to rake in the cash though.

People who were are the pub are just as much to blame.

I wonder how many parents are blaming the pub purely to exhume their kids who were at the pub that night of any responsibility for not caring about social distancing. more than obvious selfish young people chose drinking over using common sense and avoiding the pub

It must be very hard for landlords to discipline customers who won't listen! (Aka are selfish and stupid.)

What a load of tosh. Simple case of flawed tests being used. No bloody infections at all. WakeUp

Sounds like Boris

He’s just admitted to failing in his duty, where’s the lawyers suing him on behalf of people getting ill.

Absolute bullshit. !!!

Well the problem is serving people till they get drunk

Once he admitted that everyone will be cured. Sure isn’t everyone behaving responsibly ( my bolli¥)

Pure propaganda

Coronavirus is common cold!!

Blooming hard to tell a drunk to socially distance.

To lazy more like.

If the pubs are still open by bank holiday weekend , then it will be a disaster.

He needs to loose his licence and be charged with reckless endangerment

Take the license off him then he shall regret it, his words are cheap. Any pub, club etc disregarding the rules should have their licence removed and shut down

Massive sympathy - landlord faced with risk of business collapse fails to turn policemen without any training - but it's ok for shops and bus drivers not to enforce mask wearing - eclectic or what ......

It's time for revolution, the virus has gone. Zero deaths today. This is regime change.

Mmm. I've ventured out twice to the pub recently and neither time was I asked for track and trace info. The pubs both had signs, hand gel and had stickers but i wonder how many outbreaks will kick off and be untraceable because no-one is asked to fill in details. Need leadership.

He regrets that he got found out, meanwhile businesses like my employer suffer because a*seholes like this can't follow simple instruction and we continue to wait to be allowed to open despite incredible efforts to ensure covid safety.

I do have sympathy. Can imagine starting with good intentions but so easy for things to slip as people get more intoxicated and you try to actually run the business of serving drinks.
