Thousands attend illegal rave at RAF Charmy Down near Bath


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-53462514



The event, at the former RAF Charmy Down airfield about three miles from the city, began late on Saturday.

People living as far away as Bristol complained they had been kept awake.

Avon and Somerset Police said the organisers were "selfish" for staging the event amid "the ongoing risk to public health".

Police were alerted to the gathering just after 23:00 BST on Saturday and diverted patrols to the scene.

When officers arrived, they found several hundred people on site, with more arriving.

After carrying out an assessment, it was decided not to break up the event because "the potential risks to public safety of an intervention to close an event attended by more than 3,000 people in dark and wet conditions were too great".
The "new" normal - if there's too many of them then let the young do what they like .....

Re: Lockdown Breakdown.

People are exceedingly stupid if they ignore lockdown and social distancing regulations. They wouldn't be so happy if they got a bad dose of the virus.

Snowdon: Dangerous parking at beauty spots put 'lives at risk'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-53469337 (W/video)

Over the weekend more than 500 cars parked on mountain roads in Snowdonia, with people camping in laybys to hike up Snowdon.

Snowdonia National Park Authority said it was holding "urgent talks" to plan and agree a way forward after chaotic scenes near Snowdon.

Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons national parks were closed at the start of lockdown, after 'unprecedented' crowds flocked to Snowdon and Pen y fan despite advice against non-essential travel.

Car parks and paths reopened in Snowdonia on 6 July to visitors for the first time after the stay local travel restrictions were lifted.

On Sunday, pictures were shared on social media of cars parked along the side of the mountain road, as people flocked to hike to the highest peak in Wales.

Nia Jefferies, who had cycled from nearby Porthmadog on Sunday, said it was "frightening" as people had parked on bends, turning it into a "single track".

"There were walkers there, motorbikes there, cyclists and big campervans, and it was down to single file," the Gwynedd councillor said.

Ms Jefferies said people were camped in laybys, and the Sherpa bus to bring hikers to the mountain could not get through due to the "reckless parking".

Hundreds of people were fined by police, but with the fine only being about £30, Ms Jefferies said it was not a deterrent.
The cars on the main road shown have reduced through traffic to single file - what happens when bus or truck meets car on the brow of that hill …..

Worse though is what happens when that vehicle is an ambulance or fire engine on a 999 call! Ignoring parking regulations is rife everywhere in this country – selfish people park on pavements, on corners and bends in the road, grass verges, everywhere and anywhere these people park. It's time there were fines, really heavy ones, to ensure everyone keeps to the rules of the Highway Code, they are there for a reason. This seems, like everything else in this country to have gone out of the window.

Re: Lockdown Breakdown.

All this nonsense about illegal raves ect started when human rights began. The yobbos know they can do and say as they want, because if they are tangled with they scream about their rights. Time to reverse that and a few other snowflake laws.
