Lots out cyclists out, but can anyone honestly say every one of them look like they're exercising! Perhaps more evidence for for full lockdown?

Perhaps they all beleive they've had it and can do what the fuck they like now. Cos fuck anyone who hasn't had it.

Or

Their just a binchof selfish counts who want a bit of sunshine no matter what, even if it kills someone.

Either way they're all thick as shit and selfish fuckers.

London's a big place. A few carefully chosen pics from one park don't prove much. In general, the lockdown is being observed by the majority of people across the country.

I live in Essex where multiple idiots took off for Southend sea front two weeks ago. Sensibly Southend Council have closed all seafront parking this weekend.

It’s the only way to stop these idiots.

Shitsgettingcrazy · 04/04/2020 19:01

the pubs and bars there are closed, so it's definitely from lockdown.

Bars and pubs were closed before lock down.

The reports of lots of people on the beach, having days out etc....was before lockdown.

Doyoumind · 04/04/2020 19:01

It's not a park. It's just the riverside Iced.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was today, my ex housemate who still lives in our houseshare in London (I moved out 2 years ago) has sent me a few photos out of the window and from work, plenty of people about, scary.

Wakeupsunshine · 04/04/2020 19:04

Where are people getting the ice creams and takeaway coffees from? Nah.

RicStar · 04/04/2020 19:04

Nothing like this lately in my part of london at all - although we have not been out today.

MrsWhites · 04/04/2020 19:06

@Choice4567 I see what you mean. To be fair, other than a short walk across an empty field near us we haven’t been out since last Saturday and I’ve been doing the food shopping alone anyway.

As someone said earlier, these people obviously think they are invincible or do you think Matt Hancock’s talk of immunity certificates is making some people want to catch it so they can prove immunity?

Mummyoflittledragon · 04/04/2020 19:06

Omg. Looks as if NHS Nightingale will be needed pretty soon. 😩 Just because they are happy to play devils

Trajectoryoflife · 04/04/2020 19:06

Grin not another thread with fake busy photos!

Except today they said it wouldnt.

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 04/04/2020 19:07

Well London is a city so many people will be out exercising it’s not going to be empty is it. The vast majority in that footage are walking/cycling or moving in some way.

The ones that have sat down, biggest group is 2 people look how couples look so they probably live together anyway.

And no we don’t need a complete lockdown, we need the police to walk in places like this and move people on quicker. Until this lockdown is enforced properly, going to complete lockdown would be over kill

Packingsoapandwater · 04/04/2020 19:08

What bothers me about scenes like this is that they are occurring at a time when we have just been told that no family members will be allowed to attend cremations because of c19 risks.

In short, if your child or parent dies during this period (of anything, not just Covid) they will take the body, and return them to you in a tub of cremains. You will not be allowed to attend any church or cremation service.

PertEllaTitsahoy · 04/04/2020 19:08

Newsflare... where anyone can create an account and upload videos that are then sometimes bought by the media...

Not exactly the AP...

StrongTea · 04/04/2020 19:08

Guy near the end of the clip is wearing a mask.

MLMsuperfan · 04/04/2020 19:08

Richmond is lovely. But the time to enjoy it is not now.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 04/04/2020 19:08

We have a common area in the middle of our village and it appears to be the same story. Some people are such total fuckwits at the moment.::

suk44 · 04/04/2020 19:08

not another thread with fake busy photos!

I assume you're one of those that just can't believe people are out there doing all these things..

It's more likely to be that lovely weekend a couple of weeks ago before people were told more forcefully to stay at home.

Roostersmum2 · 04/04/2020 19:10

I'm in London, which I'm ashamed to admit after watching that.

I've left the house once in a fortnight for a very short walk near home, DH has been doing the shopping and going as infrequently as possible. We've been going without things to avoid extra trips.

Then you see those morons, laying on the grass drinking and living it up.

It won't happen, but I hope they're identified from the footage and all fined.

Heyallyoucoolcatsandkittens · 04/04/2020 19:11

Can well believe it’s from today. DM has similar photos and videos.

Our village still has the same groups of elderly dog walkers all together in a group. Dunkirk spirit innit Hmm

Trajectoryoflife · 04/04/2020 19:11

@suk44 pretty much.

Alialialiali · 04/04/2020 19:11

The old guy in the mask is pretty good indication its from today...and it was this nice...Some people topping up on their vitamin D?
