Could You "Shop" Covid Rule Breakers?

[Bobbisox1]

Like a pub having a lock-in
People who throw a party in a basement
And many more instances
How do feel about doing this ,I know they're doing wrong but I don't think I could bring myself to inform on them, could you?

[ToraToraTora]

ordinarily I'm not the sort of person that dobs in others but these morons are causing death and I'd certainly consider it in some cases.

[Bobbisox1]

You're so right Tora but when push came to shove, I really don't think I could ,

[woofgang]

I definitely not just could but would.

When people continue to flout the advice and use no common sense I would have no problem "dobbing" them in.

[bobbinwales]

Pub having lock in. Yes. If it was certain. Police would go.
Party in basement? Depends if it was aneighbour we din't want to upset.
People having friends and family round- am tempted at some who do it regular but my good wife stops me saying anything as it may rebound on us and its not worth it - we just keep are distance, and we dont know all the details- could be famly emergency for all we know

[Bobbisox1]

That just about sums up how I would feel Bobbin

Bobbi, if you saw someone stagger out of a pub, climb in their car and drive away, would you 'shop' them? Those who continuously flout the Covid rules are endangering other people's health and lives. Maybe your in-laws caught the virus from just such people? If i were a grass, there's a few of my neighbours who would be getting a rude early morning awakening because of their indoor horticultural skills. However, i do believe i would 'shop' anyone i saw outrageously breaking the rules.

[emmie]

no i couldn't besides which our locals aren't like that type of pubs, they are closed for the forceeable asfar as i know. and don't any other instances where i would.

[Bobbisox1]

I would like to Ken but I know I'd worry ( which is wrong)

[TonyV]

bobbin your identity will not be revealed or you could report it annomasly (spelling)

[emmie]

one would have to think clearly about dobbing in neighbours for instance, if they had a party for example, which ours don't seem to be doing.

[ichkeria]

A pub lock in definitely as it would most likely be the one next door tho given their landlord died of the virus last year it would be hard to understand them.
For the rest, no

[TonyV]

emmie I would not invite even friends around In the present climate, you don't know who they have been in contact with.

[emmie]

i haven't seen anyone at home except the mental health crises team at home, no mates round obviously.... i can understand that -

Is this 'rule breaking' somewhere North of meeting a friend for coffee and if so, where's the line?
