To report the pair of them

[MaMaD1990]

So I've just kept my opinions to myself if I've seen anyone breaking lockdown rules but lunchtime today im putting rubbish out and i see my neighbours mother drive round and start unloading her stuff from the car - she's bloody decided to come for a little visit!! This annoys me not only because it breaks the rules but her son has also been tooing and froing between his flat and his girlfriends flat and having the girlfriend and her daughter over etc (yes i know, nosey). AIBU to report them both or should i just leave it and put my energy elsewhere?

Are you a daily mail reader by any chance...?

They’re all at it on my street, drives me potty. I’m in wales so the rules aren’t even relaxed here yet.
My next door neighbour had her mother over today for a garden party. A few weeks back my other next door neighbour had a party for VE days and had some of the other neighbours over. Dropped something to my brother the other week and his parents in law were there.
Today my neighbour across the road who’s in a shielded group had her son there.
Sometimes i feel like we’re the only ones following the rules. Ah well, at least I know our little family will be safe.

"Well you don't 'have to'. If you don't want to, because some other people aren't..then crack on tbh!"

Really? Wouldn't it be better if we all kept to the rules? Isn't that what they're there for? Do we want even more cases when we're already one of the worst countries in the world?
I mean, I don't LIKE following the rules, but...

Not if you go to the same shops as the rule breakers.

This makes me so cross. I would love to go and stay with my daughter who has just had her first baby but even after yesterday's easing I could only visit in the garden. It involves a long journey. She really wants me but didn't want to risk my health or her father's yet I read about people popping for visits. Staying with her daughter is just out of order. I don't live in UK but from the statistics I don't feel the virus is under control there. DD is a doctor and she agrees.

I should add that my daughter has had Covid and her boss died so she is understandably cautious.

The new rules specify that you must not spend the night at someone else's home.

This summarises it well:

Dont report no one cares anymore !

It would of course be better, and luckily plenty seem to be following. But 'other people are ignoring them so I should be able to also' (ignoring that you can break them by..breaking them) is..a bit petty. Especially if, as you say you acknowledge that breaking them can cause more illness/death

There's no point even having a lockdown if the police won't police it. My ex is, as usual, making this about getting one over on me, telling me who he's taking our kids to meet up with, because he knows the police will do fuck all, he knows it will worry me and make me feel powerless. The way the police and gov have handled this whole thing has been a slap in the face to DA victims.

No, because there's almost no spread in shops, we know that, otherwise the lock down would not have worked, because most people were going to the shops all along.

The problem is incompetent media and government decided to play up the fear massively, such that people are have no concept of genuine risk and are so scared that they try and control the things they think they can control, not the things that actually help the virus. That's what's led to this weird policing of things which have no impact on the virus (as well as lots of strange personal behaviour).

Please don't have a go at these people, they really think they're doing the right thing, the incompetent media got us here.
