Why do I bother incarcerating myself day after day?

[jennyjoan]

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Looks like spam to me as there is an ad alongside it and no I don't believe its real.

[royfromaus]

Eh?
It's a vid on Twitter

It’s real, of course!

[Cloverjo]

I saw it on Twitter too. I don’t believe it. I think it’s footage from some time ago. Someone’s having a bit of fun about all the outrage they’ve sparked.

[Cloverjo]

Twitter should take it down. It will encourage people to think they might as well go out too.

[jakep]

Oh dear!

[Vagus]

It was shown on the news last night, and happened last night.

[Jordyboy9]

To keep yourself and your family safe. If anything, this shows the real risks from other people.

I used to think it was unbelievable how many ABers never really read the thread...I guess now I'm just used to it.

Thanks for the link, jakep

[teacake44]

How many are there, that don't read the thread?

[royfromaus]

12:36 Not really related to the question.

[THECORBYLOON]

There are plenty videos and judging by the number of police and flashing lights, it must have been co-ordinate.

[royfromaus]

That makes it ok?

[pixie374]

Roy, why does the photo make you feel you are safer to be around others? It had the opposite effect on me.... each to their own, I guess.

[teacake44]

12.25 was added to your post, you diverted it off post.

[Lie-in King]

Crazy behaviour & one hopes none of them come to reap the whirlwind.

[royfromaus]

Roy, why does the photo make you feel you are safer to be around others?

A couple of weeks ago when this phenomenon first reared its head I explained on here how residents in my area had dutifully stood at their doors and windows applauding. Then five minutes later seven or eight of them (from three or four different households) all gathered together for a chat for a quarter of an hour.

It's well known on here that I am not at all convinced that the "social distancing" that has been encouraged has had much of an effect on the spread of the virus (though that's another argument). But it is utterly ridiculous for people who, presumably do not think like me, to stand in large groups on Westminster Bridge, taking pictures of each other, applauding the people who have helped the country with a disease that is spread from person to person. You could not make it up.
