it's what i have been saying all along since the very beginning of the outbreak, you cannot force people to do something they don't want to in a democracy. They have to make their own decisions. We as individuals are still capable of social distancing if we want to, so let others live their lives and face the consequences of their actions as has always been the case

Yes they do but it may have an impact on the rest of us if we go into lockdown again but hey ho yeah you can't legislate for these people, the UK has one of the softer lockdowns in Europe with regard to going outside and getting exercise, we are not seeing this level of stupidity in other countries, maybe it is happening and it is not being reported, the UK is certainly making the headlines in the media abroad though More than the going to the beach what is most disappointing to me is the amount of trash they are leaving behind

When I see the pictures of all those on the beaches it reminds me of wheres wally. Only they all are wallies

Beaches are threatened with closure if it causes a spike in the area.

I wouldn't get your hopes up of anything happening via Hancock.

His track record on action is near non existent.

Him talking and also talk of his so called plans never ending however.

Some of the public are selfish imo , we are told we still need to be cautious, they are not listening and putting others that have complied at risk ,that to me is selfish, no regard for anyone else .

I would be very, very surprised if England goes into full lockdown again even if there is a second wave. Even if its worse than the first wave. I'd be surprised if any of the larger European economies do. They've seen the damage now, its catastrophic, they'll fiddle whatever figures they have to to stop it happening again. Specific closures, mandatory mask wearing, or very localised lockdown maybe. Full lockdown will never happen again.

I think we just don't hear about it in other countries tbh, I've seen videos of Paris where its looked packed for weeks now with people in bars and restaurants, all mingling together etc. I remember seeing their beaches very crowded at one point as well

And spread the disease to unwilling participants in the process (their friends and family)

In their burger boxes and leaving behind for council workers to clear up and its disgusting behaviour !

5 tons of rubbish was collected .

The protests in London were badly timed imo, but at least I can understand the motive behind it.

Overcrowding a Beach during a Pandemic is just selfish in my view, there is no decent motive behind that at all.

None at all Mock.

This you can't catch it outside is one of the most misguided and dangerous things said.

There was uproar at Cheltenham being allowed to go on when this was really setting in.
If you can't catch it outside, why is football being played behind closed doors.

Utter tripe and the government should be held to account in part for such confusing information and guidelines.

If you're outside, just talking to someone who has it, or were they to cough with no face covering, then see if it can't be caught.

In groups of large numbers of people, that risk is more intensified.
The problem still being, some who get this, don't show symptoms, or even know they have it, yet do infect others.

My local beach has apparently being trashed. Litter everywhere. All night parties going on. Lots of broken galss as you can imagine on sand and people wirh bare feet is a serious health and safety issue. A lady has already filled 30 bags full of rubbish and now the council are clearing it up too. Its a disgrace

a more health issue is all these people out there on that beach not wearing any face masks

...and not just for economic reasons, I think it would be catastrophic for mental well-being ...(...of adults and children...)...should there be another full lockdown for any sustained length of time...

Yes I know thats an issue of course

But people cutting their feet open including kids is also an issue, taking up beds in hospitals perhaps
