Dover Castle Pub Falls Foul of Brighton Council's Fussbuckets

Yesterday I noted that the good people of the Caxton Arms in Brighton had fallen foul of the council's fussbuckets, and were forbidden from opening because their outside space was not considered "safe".

Within hours it seems some form of compromise has been reached, and the Caxton Arms has been allowed to open today.

Sadly the same fussbuckets stuck their unwelcome noses into the affairs of the Dover Castle, and deemed their outside space not to be "safe".

As such, the Dover was forced to cancel its reopening at the very last minute.

With luck, the jobsworth's in the council will be persuaded to step back from this nonsense and allow the pub to reopen.

Caxton Arms Falls Foul of Brighton Council's Fussbuckets

Yesterday Brighton Council decided that with or without the temporary roof, the garden is not covid compliant and forced us to close.

Reason: garden is below street level, surrounded by 4 walls, so air cant flow.
We will be contacting people to notify you of your cancellations😥 pic.twitter.com/gzIvvoUS01

Commiserations to the good people of the Caxton Arms Brighton, who had been planning to open outside today.

Sadly, at the last minute, Brighton council's fussbuckets vetoed the idea because of some issues wrt "air flow" outside.

I understand that the brewery, Shepherd Neame, are taking issue with this nonsense!

Nanny's Covid Passport Dilemma

 

Nanny has got herself into a wee bit of a muddle over Covid passports.

Whilst it is clear that for international travel there will be a need for something, it is far from clear as to whether they are needed (or indeed are practical) for ordinary domestic activities eg shopping/going to the pubs.

A theoretical case can be made for domestic use, if other restrictions (eg masks and social distancing) are removed. However, it is far from clear that Nanny wants those restrictions removed.

Even if the restrictions are removed, in exchange for a covid passport, there are ethical and practical problems eg:

-should people's medical history (even part of it) be made public?

-is it technically possible for passports to be created?

-what additional costs will be incurred for shops/pubs etc in manning the entrances to stop non passport holders gaining entrance?

The list can be added to.

I suspect that as the cases go down, and the complexity/costs of the passports becomes clearer, Nanny will gently kick the idea into the long grass and only revisit it if there is a surge in the winter.

The state of these feckless fuckers!

The Nanny state has produced this self entitled pea brained waste of space.

Our tax £'s well spent!
