ILLEGAL MASS GATHERINGS PROTESTING ‘UNLAWFUL LOCKDOWN’ PLANNED FOR RYDE AND NEWPORT

Do not attend this event. It is illegal to do so.

2 mass gathering events have been arranged to take place on the Isle of Wight this Saturday as Island’s ‘unite’ and ‘stand together’.

An event poster, originally created for an illegal public gathering at Hyde Park in London, has been edited to include Appley Beach & Park in Ryde and Seaclose Park in Newport. It has been shared on social media, prompting a negative response from law-abiding citizens.

The advertised mass gatherings are due to take place, illegally, at 12:00 on Saturday 16th May. Islanders are encouraged to “bring a picnic, some music and let’s have some fun and say yes to life!”

Article continues below this advertisement

A poster encourages people to “say no to the coronavirus bill” and “no to the unlawful lockdown”, as some people fear for their freedom during the coronavirus pandemic.

It is said that the small Islands of the Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey are ‘standing together one for all and all for one’. But those living on all Islands are warned that such activity is illegal and those taking part could be fined £100 – or even arrested.

Police are preparing for a mass gathering in Southampton on Saturday with printed leaflets distributed to residents in the city.

In response to the planned event in Southampton, which could be replicated here, Hampshire Constabulary said:

“Our response will be in line with the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 which currently prohibits large gatherings of people to limit the spread of COVID-19.”

That’s a broad and rude statement Jim, it’s ok if you don’t understand, some people won’t understand what is really happening, until it smacks them in the chops ( not physically obviously) they then can see clearly. But of course everybody has the right to believe or not believe, and have an opinion ,which should be respected and considered. I could say people that believe the ( liars ) government, are also stupid, but that wouldn’t be fair. That’s like calling someone stupid because they can’t read, if they have never been shown, how would they know?

People that think there is a virus and that these protests aren’t necessary have a long way to go before they even realise they’re in bed asleep and I know that because I was one of them for most of my life.

Anyone that doesn’t like what I’m saying I recommend they start looking for information in the opposite direction because all this is a part a much bigger plan to enslave and cull. It’s coming for you and your families this decade as the crescendo so protesting against tyranny is the best thing we can do.

Once tyranny is allowed in it doesn’t go away without a fight if anyone cares to pay attention to history.
If you’re a person that thinks things are going to go back to a normal life, you are mistaken

No Matt you can’t say that. We all have our own believes and if you wanna go that root I could say you’ve been brainwashed by the government’s bull crap. If you study all this bull shit carefully you’ll see theirs to many lope holes for it to all be true.

Oh dear! We do not have mandatory vaccines in the UK. We choose (those of us with a modicum of common sense) to vaccinate for the good of our children. Of course our government want to limit our freedom and plunge us into economic crisis. Perfectly logical! Every government on the planet has joined forces to cause this Pandemic, because we all know how much they all agree with each other!

Arrest them, put them in prison and if they’re unlucky enough (or lucky enough with their sheer stupidity) to pick up this deadly virus make sure they are at the back of the Queue when others need oxygen to keep them alive. This really gets my goat! Retards the lot of them.

I think if this happens police should take down there details and don’t bother with fines they won’t be paid. But if them or any of there family need nhs help from catching covid then the nhs has the right to refuse them. Why should they be putting our amazing nhs in more danger

Firstly that’s disrespectful to large people. Everyone pays a tax and should be given treatment in this country. Nhs staff did not sign up to die so yes I think anyone who attends these events should be refused treat there potentially putting the lives of nhs staff at risk. Why should our nhs staff not matter to people.

Well said Boris, we have several neighbours ignoring the guidelines, some have young children who have to abide with their parents decision. They will only learn the truth when one of them pass it on to a relative who is abiding by the guidelines.

People that think there is a virus and that these protests aren’t necessary have a long way to go before they even realise they’re in bed asleep and I know that because I was one of them for most of my life.

Anyone that doesn’t like what I’m saying I recommend they start looking for information in the opposite direction because all this is a part a much bigger plan to enslave and cull. It’s coming for you and your families this decade as the crescendo so protesting against tyranny is the best thing we can do.

Once tyranny is allowed in it doesn’t go away without a fight if anyone cares to pay attention to history.
If you’re a person that things are going to go back to a normal life, you are mistaken

If not true , and only a joke ….then it’s a pretty sick joke…… 32,000 have died. Please JOKER have respect to them . If it is serious , then that is even worse. Can’t begin to think of words that would suit …that would be printable. Guess they would like all mass murderers to be released from prison , because that is what they are endorsing.

Its simple Police should arrest anyone who attends & not just fine them £100 but give them the max fine of £1,000 of course this could be just a hoax to try & stir up trouble be interesting to see of it happens or not hopefully the majority of the island have the common sense not to attend

I think who ever tends this event is not of sound mind and they are being prayed on by the “uk freedom movement” I think who ever is at the head of this movement should be locked away if it goes ahead. They will be encouraging people to go out and potentially kill overs. In my eyes this is genocide while keeping there hands clean. We should all keep to the laws and protect each other and our wonderful nhs. Please remember this is a killer

In two years when you will all look back and realise what you have lost, freedom. I know deep in my heart the fight is already lost to the liars ( government) and I’m hurting inside knowing, that my kids ,and your kids, and grand children , will never have the freedom we all once did enjoyed.

I have just lost my beloved mother aged 92 to this virus on THIS island. The case numbers are low on this island and I didn’t think it would be my family that would suffer this loss. The island is a safe place we all think. Where she contracted it was allegedly a very safe place and it still happened. People must not get involved in such gatherings as you will spread it. It is still out there we just can’t see it. Don’t let your families be the next victims or you be the ones unable to see your loved ones in their final stages not beIng able to say goodbye and being powerless to achieve a positive outcome for them. The virus does not discriminate. Many much younger people are also being lost STAY HOME CHOOSE LIFE

Specifically which freedoms will be impacted and what will be the benefit to those removing those freedoms? Assuming there is a benefit to removing those freedoms, how do those benefits outweigh the catastrophic financial impact that the country will take decades to recover from. Your children and grandchildren will be paying for this for generations to come. Oh, BTW, we still have a virus that we need to sort out which has been killing people, young and old alike, so what is your strategy to resolve that situation?

If you do some research, agenda 2030 and also social credit ,you will see what this is really all about. Yes there’s a virus ,yes it’s contagious, but deadly to everyone? How many health 30,40 yr with no underlying health issues have died. How many people do you know that is ill with covid.? This virus is not as deadly as the flu, but more contagious. Do your research and you will see, I was shocked. People attack me for my opinion, ok, but facts? No you can’t argue with facts. I hate the way the public is being lied too.
