Has anyone any sensible suggestions as to what can be done in areas where people will not abide by guidance and steadfastly refuse to stop mixing in large groups inside, also if they continue to refuse vaccines what can we do ? There was a young woman interviewed on A northern TV channel who said she would not stop visiting her relatives whatever the situation, and her family were against vaccination. What the hell do we do in this ongoing mess ?
We do the same as we do (or should do) with any other law breaking?
Most other countries enforce their laws - whether emergency pandemic measures or unrelated.
The UK government hasn't. The pretty please approach doesn't work. People don't respect that. (To be clear, I'm responding to the post above asking about wilful refusal to adhere to the rules. Insufficient support for self isolation is a separate issue and needs better funding).
