Read somewhere today that Manchester police broke up 660 parties over last weekend. Why would the idiot party goers want to put our front line services at even greater risk. This chav type behaviour is just inexcusable
I've moderated my language to idiot because I wouldn’t air my real thoughts

Just been on our daily walk over the M6 bridge and the motorway is the exact opposite to JKs Cornwall.
HGVs outnumbered cars and nothing at all in lane 3. Would be three lanes solid on a normal Easter Thursday night with many caravans and motorhomes none tonight.
The queue at ASDA this afternoon looked to be well over a hundred people so I did not bother. Even M & S Food had the longest queue I've seen in the last three weeks but it's a bank holiday after all!

Both house and garden parties including barbecues have taken place. You couldn't credit some people's intelligence, or lack of it. I just wonder what would happen if the Government imposed a stricter lockdown such as they have in France and Spain.

In Italy and Spain the restrictions have been stricter, New Zealand have only had one death, with tighter restrictions. My cousin, living in Dubai tells me they can only go out for food and the pharmacy and to do this they must first have a permit. Our government allows us out for exercise and some just abuse this and others run off to their second homes and on holiday.. It's time to stop the minority being so stupid/selfish, there should be higher fines and they should be issued frequently. If some can't follow advice then they should be told to follow orders.

Agree 100% Debs. Unfortunately now a second MP (this time a government minister who has been on TV frequently telling us to stick to the lock down rules) has been caught out. It's unbelievable.

Ps a couple of our neighbours have come down there this weekend, because they had a call from his mother to "advise" that she had a problem with not being able to get essentials that she must have,
He works in a care home,here so is quite aware of the lack of facilities in Cornwall for the elderly,,she at the moment is "working from home" but as she says "no work"
They both say that second home owners almost out number "yokels"in some places,

So far this weekend, the offenders have included a Government Minister, a Labour Peer, and a London family who gave up their main home and drove to Yorkshire for the duration. This freed up their home, rent free, for 3 local hospital Doctors who had had their tenancy terminated and had no new accommodation.
The Police guidance is quite clear and people have been told that they will be stopped. Fines are the last resort and are already set by the legislation. It's a consequence of a democracy in general, and English law in particular. As the QC pointed out in his article this week, you can do anything that you please unless the law forbids it.
The Government confirmed yesterday that if an item is on sale in a shop [legally], then it may be purchased, hence the Chief Constable of Northamptonshire having to recant on his stupid threat to have officers searching shopping trolleys.

You think it's funny for them to break the rules? For the sake of this thread I'll not say what I really think of you and your posts.

Is this really cause for any kind of thought other than rank stupidity? A huge percentage of folks trying really hard to do as they are told, follow guidance, putting others before their own selfish needs? I am sorry JV, I will normally give you a bit of leeway on some of your posts, banter along with you, but not on this one. There are some seriously vulnerable people up and down the country, and the unthinking few are adding to their risks, and adding to the burden on already stretched to the limit NHS staff, who are, if you read the quality news, literally dying caring for others.
Please for goodness sake, let this drop?

It makes it worse when it is people who should know better who fail to do a they as asked. So many people dying, families left so sad. Drs and Nurses begging people to comply, while they work so hard. Some people at home alone, sick and desperately trying to cope. We shouldn't need to rely on laws to make people comply. They should be doing it for their country and out of compassion. I am truly ashamed of the selfish minority in my Country.

You heavily edited it, presumably in your embarrassment. However, they are still breaking the rules and making silly excuses for it.
Now, please take TDA's advice.

So true and we've seen many examples of that density quoted here.

Just watching the news (for a change) and seen that in New York "bodies buried in mass graves as death toll passes 7000". It's a horrific and sobering image, I can't believe that there are still people in our country who are playing Russian roulette with all of our lives.

As ET says in the times of crisis in the UK ,humour as in all modes, has got most of us through it
And what some these days get "upset" and worse about ,is nothing compared to what was taken as acceptable, when in the past ie WW2 the nation used it to get by

we have one of the highest levels already ,it is not just holiday areas that have "those who walk amongst us" as noted when Rosa and I are on our "invisible to most" walks,,so you do not need to try to preach 
i will not expect any apologies
