    It's disgraceful that this terrible Government have asked people to use common sense , it's disgraceful that gangs of plain clothes Policemen rounded people up and forced them into pubs . It's disgraceful the Government to expect idiots to follow rules . Its the Governments fault that sweat shops in the midlands are paying slave labour rates in overcrowded run down factories so these idiots that are frog marched to pubs in cheap designer clothes . Imagine asking the populace to think for themselves ?, absolutely shocking .

    It is about one thing we can agree on Offy- this Government is terrible.

    Its not a matter of agreeing on , we've become that much of a nanny state that we can't think for ourselves . I'm at risk ,i control my life to reduce that risk , i use my own guidelines, i follow the 2m rule etc etc . I expect other people to do the same , i can not and will not blame the Government for people who care very little for fellow human beings . I'm furloughed i recieve ( now cancelled ) food boxes . The idiot next door holds parties i've rowed with him and finally reported him to the police , who's at fault ? the government or the idiot next door ? .

    Bit early for me Dave especially given we were 2nd in the infection table
    You are right the "novelty factor" will wear off pretty soon (pubs we're a dying business before lockdown) but it's the damage done in the meantime that's the concern
    Lane End used to be one of my locals and if 200 people were in there all the rules had gone to pot
    Maybe the council should have inspected pubs before they opened to make sure everything was in place and landlords knew what they were doing
    Be a long time before I visit a pub again
    As has been happening for a long while now social evenings at home/garden are the way forward for the time being

    Thanks for cheering me up, no wonder your gammon gets cooked on a regular basis living next door to an idiot!!!
    How very dare he.My neighbours to the right of me(it would be) split up during lockdown,she buggered off and has now come back, staying there whilst looking for a new place to rent.Rules are for others to follow-see Dominic.
    The 2m rule is now history, you should have moved a bit further north, Scotland is safer and far better with the mortality rate.
    I am furloughed too but working in Retail currently isn't the best idea and i am in the scope for redundancy(before the furlough finishes July 31st).I have an interview on friday in another department but they still haven't told me if my original job is safe or not.
    Been driving my eldest lad to other side of Halifax regulary to work as a lab technician(food testing) so have seen plenty of idiots about.
    Hopefully they all live in lankysheer or your neck of the woods!

    It really does baffle me that people want the government to have a large say on every single aspect of their lives.

    And weirdly the ones who dislike the government the most are the ones who want them to be most involved in their lives. Bizarre.

    Over there you seemed to have a far stricter lockdown than us as well, doesn’t seemed to have done much good. Personally I think everywhere will have bad death/infection rates by the end, it’s just to contagious imo.

    The 2nd in the infection table and we now know why Leicester is No1, after what has emerged from Leicester are there places like that in Bradford?
