There are a large number of motorcyclists gathered on the Pier forecourt sat at the picnic tables. Clearly they are not from the same family and are not social distancing at all.

The police just drive past oblivious.

What is going on?

What's going on?
The common sense of the great British public, that's what's going on.

What is common sense about sitting so close to others?

Two possible results
a) somebody gets the virus
b) BoJo sees people cannot be trusted and lockdown returns

Whoosh! Right over your head lol. Pretty sure u/n salus.populi was making a sarcastic comment regarding the stupidity of the British public. (You only have to look at the car loads of idiots trying to get on to Ainsdale beach yesterday).
And on a side note it’s just been announced that the R number is starting to increase again. Well done all you idiots who can’t follow albeit confusing advice from our terrible government.

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

The politicians are paid to do that, but any idiot can come up with something better than 'Stay Alert'. "Ooooo - is that a virus I can see across the road - I'm glad I was alert and spotted it!"

By the way, the police are failing miserably in not dealing with this. Probably not too keen on confronting a gang of bikers.

Yep over my head, didn't realise she/he was being sarcastic.

Thing is too many people think their "common sense" is better than abiding by the rules.

The Police have been told that they have no jurisdiction over social distancing and the DPP have said that many tickets issued are wrong and will fail if challenged in court.
By keeping car parks and facilities closed people are being corralled into smaller areas making them more crowded, it is ridiculous that the Council have not opened the Pier and probably have the only golf courses in the country still closed.

Maybe we shouldn’t be coming out of lockdown yet? People’s lives must take priority over the economy. End of.

Good, let them. Darwin’s theory of evolution is a wonderful way of thinning out the absolute plebs from society.

I don't think the bikers are being corralled at all - they come from out of town, don't they? If anyone thinks that riding to Southport just to sit in front of the pier with everything closed is a socially responsible thing to do, then they are morons.

We're still in a lockdown - the rules have been slightly relaxed, but the idiots just don't get it.

So that's a no you can't then ?

I don't think you "looking" for a virus is a good start or as an analogy.

No, it's a 'yes I can because I used to be a professional copywriter', but it's not my job to do it.

You really ought to stop this personal stuff all the time - anyone would think you're a troll!

knuckle draggers, When this first started I put a comment on a facebook post, Had two of them giving me abuse via messenger. The most abusive hadn't even been there, just defending bikers right to do WTF they like.
