Mother slams huge crowds at Blackpool seafront for ‘risking everything’ during lockdown – despite travelling 125 MILES to get there
- A Birmingham mother decided to take her children on a 215 mile trip the beach
- The unnamed 27-year-old then filmed crowds and criticised a lack of distancing
- Weeks prior the woman became a viral hit after visiting a beach in Wales
- She likened the people on the Blackpool beach to being in the wrong like she was in Wales, yet failed to realise the irony of herself making the same journey
- Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19
A Birmingham mum has felt the wrath of social media, after uploading a video of herself berating members of the public for being out in Blackpool… despite making the 125 mile journey herself to soak up sun on the beach.
The woman could be heard accusing people of ‘risking everything’, amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as she filmed them on the streets of the seaside resort on Bank Holiday Monday.
Astonishingly it is the second time the woman has been circulated on social media, following a recent trip to Barmouth beach in Wales amid the pandemic lockdown, during which she filmed a confrontation with police safety officers.
The Birmingham mum captured the footage of crowded Blackpool streets while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle, after making a 125 mile trip to take in the sun
Sounding audibly irate, the woman slammed a lack of social distancing on the promenade
In the footage she exchanged heated words and demanded to know why herself and her young family were being escorted from the beach, which brought about instance criticism online.
The video, which went viral when posted last week, the woman called locals a ‘bunch of b******s’ when police confront her and claims she ‘didn’t realise Wales wasn’t in England.’
This time around she made the 125-mile trip to Lancashire on Bank Holiday Monday – but returned home immediately believing it to be ‘dangerous,’ as report Birmingham Live.
The mother captured the footage while sitting in the front passenger seat of a car, driving though the tourist hotspot and later posted the video to her Facebook page.
She could be heard narrating: ‘So today we’ve come to Blackpool, just thought we’d come and take the kids for a walk.
‘Obviously I’ve had a video that’s gone viral when we went to Wales in Barmouth, and they [people online] have had a go.
‘But then we’ve come here today, and I’ve had loads [of abuse] online for that video. Now I’ve come to Blackpool and look at all these people.
‘Two metre distance? Where’s the two metre distance? So coronavirus is really, really getting protected right now yeah?
‘Everybody’s on the beach, but I get slandered for my video when I went to Wales. I understand I was in the wrong.
She added: ‘There’s too many people risking everything just because of the weather.
‘We’re going straight back home because this is dangerous.
‘People are moaning over sending their kids to school because of the coronavirus, but then they’re happy to bring them to a beach where there are thousands here.
‘You can’t two-metre distance on a beach. There’s too many people all walking past each other.’
Footage quickly went viral across social media, with many people re-sharing to condemn the ignorance of the mum in question.
The 27-year-old, who did not want to be named, later told BirminghamLive: ‘Blackpool was horrible as thousands were there.
‘People weren’t social distancing. We stayed five minutes and then left.
‘There were new born babies in prams and people coughing walking past.’
