My neighbours have their grown up son, girlfriend and granddaughter (2yr old) over to visit every day. Plus other grown up son has his girlfriend over to stay 50 per cent of the week.

We're close to our family and miss them terribly... especially today when we'd have all got together. Neighbours are all sitting round their garden table having a family BBQ

My 6 six year old misses his cousins. We are obeying the lockdown rules for obvious reasons so why aren't others? FFS!

Oh and @Amymayapple there is no human right that declares you have the right to see your family whenever you want. None.

Article 3 of the UN Convention of Human Rights does state that you have the right to life. Something people who flaunt the lockdown rules are taking from other people due to them spreading the virus. So actually you are not being deprived, you are depriving others because of your own entitled selfishness.

@blubelle7 "grow the fuck up"

Wow you are eloquent in your arguments

Thefaceofboe · 12/04/2020 19:42

@Amymayapple you are what’s wrong with the world. You should be ashamed having that attitude

Frozenfan2019 · 12/04/2020 19:44

It is breaking every human right out there

E.g. the human right to die from a virus you could have avoided if people weren't selfish pricks.

JassyRadlett · 12/04/2020 19:44

I think the same as the OP's neighbours - and I am going to do what I want. If they fine me so be it. I am not being controlled.

....and fuck everyone else, including those who won’t get a ventilator because the NHS is overwhelmed.

Just so long as you get to do what you want, eh?

Amymayapple · 12/04/2020 19:44

@pixiepowered the lockdown breaks many human rights listed in the UN convention of human rights .

Read through it.

Neighbours around here doing the same. Not really sure much has changed for them, they are doing what they did before.

Amymayapple · 12/04/2020 19:45

@Thefaceofboe I am what's wrong with the world lol.

Last year I went to volunteer teach in India, and I went to volunteer in an orphanage in Romania.

What did you do?

HostessTrolley · 12/04/2020 19:45

@Amymayapple - will your opinions change when you lose your mum or sister or best friend or child?

Are you sure the family aren't all living together for lockdown?

HostessTrolley · 12/04/2020 19:46

Or when you leave your children without a mum...

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 12/04/2020 19:46

Because they are selfish entitled arseholes

EatDessertFirst · 12/04/2020 19:47

Its definately a troll! Don't feed it people!!

You are definitely what's wrong with world. And I'm sure everyone you "helped" would have been better off without being exposed to your logic and warped sense of entitlement. More harm than good done there.

Amymayapple · 12/04/2020 19:48

@HostessTrolley look at all the venom directed at me on here, and I haven't even said what I am doing!

All I said, is that I agree with her neighbours.

Look at how - you have been blindly taught to hate people in just a few weeks.

The control is working well on some of you

Thefaceofboe · 12/04/2020 19:48

@Amymayapple anything you did is irrelevant if you’re going to be selfish and add to the spread of this deadly virus.

Maybe I am an idiot, but I’m being an idiot in the safety of my own home.

NotSusanna · 12/04/2020 19:48

Do some reading and educate yourself a little @Amymayapple. You are making a fool of yourself. I think you will feel embarrassed when you realise how idiotic you sound. People like you are clearly ignorant about Covid-19 and at this moment in time you are very dangerous.

@EatDessertFirst can you explain to me what a troll is - anyone that doesn't agree with you. ? That is kind of a narcissistic way of thinking

Blubelle7 · 12/04/2020 19:49

Back to OP

YANBU to be furious. Do report it

Maybe they've had no contact with the outside world to be able to do this.
No risk if you've all been totally isolated.
Or do you think we should all just follow rules because we are supposed to.
Obviously, once that link with the outside world has been taken, risk becomes involved and then you need to follow the rules to not become infected/infect others.

Obviously, you don't know whether they've had other contact or not.

HTH.

SpudsAreLife84 · 12/04/2020 19:50

Guys, ignore the trolling behaviour and leave him/her to it.

OP, report them via your local police force website.
