How thick do you have to be to maintain Jobsworthery in these circumstances? See what I mean? These ejjits are absolutely love the power they have been given. I think the bloke was remarkably restrained, I'd have decked the plonker.

'so why has he and his employers apologised?'

because, in hindsight they realised the 'rules' needed tweaking and they regret causing the family further stress.

YMB - // I'm surprised he wasnt chinned given the circumstances and emotion at the time. //

Perhaps people are better in charge of their personal restraint and dignity that you apparently infer that you would be.

// Unfortunately we have now become surrounded by brownshirts. Goebbels would have been amazed at how easy we have given up our freedoms to be ruled by people like this. He had quite a struggle to do it. //

Another ludicrously OTT observation - you need to get a sense of proportion about this.

AH: 16;17, judges have leeway not absolute rules. Anyway It's not my phrase it's from Jean Luc, in STNG, episode "justice".

[ToraToraTora]

ZM: "because, in hindsight they realised the 'rules' needed tweaking and they regret causing the family further stress. " - ah! so would that equate to the afore mentioned Common sense?

You are entitled to your opinion of course but you are wrong. Perhaps you need to open your eyes as to what has been done to many by a few - without any democratic debate.

[Zacs-Master]

'ah! so would that equate to the afore mentioned Common sense?'

no, not really. Humans make mistakes.

[youngmafbog]

Some more than others.

I know i am entitled to my opinion, thank you.

I cannot be 'wrong' because it is my opinion, my view, and not stated as a fact, which is either right or wrong.

You can disagree with me, but yours is not the right (pardon the pun!) to say that I am wrong in expressing it.

I am as aware as you or anyone else, that the rules surrounding this virus are as changeable as they are complex, and at times ludicrously pointless - but the people at the crematorium are required to enforce them, not necessarily agree with them, but still enforce them, and they did their jobs as required.

"These Are The Rissoles That Now Rule Our Lives....."

Yes, the Government.

[Sunk]

Your Government have made these rules for everyone’s safety. It is very unfair to attack the poor sod whose job is to police those rules.

Hancock came up with this nonsense, but you won’t tolerate any criticism of your Government.

[Zacs-Master]

Indeed. there was someone on here posting things about other threads and calling another poster a Moron earlier.

I know, I know! crazy innit.

[Sunk]

Mr Hancock's rules prevented this son consoling his mother after her husband has died.

Instead of blaming him, you blame the crematorium, the local council, its employee, in fact everyone else apart from the heartless ba*stard who introduced it in the first place.

[Zacs-Master]

Sunk, if that's the case why did the crem comment "We ask funeral directors to let us know whether any chairs should be grouped in advance, and from now on this includes guests who are in the same household or bubbles, as well as people who need extra support."

[Atheist]

I see TTT is now advocating violence.

[iluvmargie]

It's only a 'rule', it's not written in blood. Why should the employees of anyone (bus drivers, supermarket workers and now crematoria workers) have to implement them? A lot have said they won't because it's not their remit. And I say again, this man should have used common sense and kept his mouth shut!

[Sunk]

iluvmargie

It is clear the consensus is that the rule is wrong and an exemption should exist for funerals.

But the only man should have used common sense and kept his mouth shut is Mr Hancock.

I'd have decked the Plonker, says Tough Talking TTT.
I'm surprised he wasn't chinned says stable mate YMB.
Is this the way members of the Real Nasty Party , think and talk.

[Mozz71]

//I'd have decked the Plonker, says Tough Talking TTT.//

TTTTT?

[david small]

He enforced the emotionally vulnerable to separate at the crucial time when a distraught women needed comforting. It was a brutal and insensitive response to a ridiculous rule in those circumstances. I wouldn’t have hit him, but I would have told him to go forth and multiply.

[ToraToraTora]

yes david, bang on. I suppose all the jobsworths, rules are rules mob on here would have done the same. Sad when the letter of the rules matter more than common sense.
