Makes you wonder what the person filming it was doing in Costco car park to start with.

He got up too late and is calling everyone a wanker.

lolz

Went to Brockwell Park earlier for a quick walk; couldn't believe all of the tennis courts as well as the cricket nets were in full use. People just not getting it...

Essential journeys only they keep announcing on the tube

exactly what we said!

“Wankers the lot of them” lol

Is Liberation the French equivalent of the Star?

Liberation (or just Libé for Friends & Family) is the local equivalent to the Guardian and is a respected publication. Sits opposite to Le Monde which is more centre-right.
Then you've got Le Figaro which is the local Torygraph.

Have we done the Jared Diamond article yet?

Phone out filming while behind the wheel 🤔?

Just took the dog out for a piss and there were at least fifty people playing football and other group activities. Including old folk watching.

Rode through it today, insanely normal.

Not just me who thought that then!

around the sinner Circle of Regents Park.

I suppose only a special kind of person knows this exists.

They sat on my wheel for almost a lap

Goodness, they must have the patience of saints. :)

After last nights lock-ins and pub celebrations, today was market day in Bridport. From what I hear, the streets were busy and bustling, with the mostly elderly local folk circulating amongst all the tourists, who have just started to arrive from London and the south east, now that holiday season has started early. The coastal caravan sites and holiday homes in west Dorset are filling up fast...

Words fail me

Well I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone tried it.

^same down in Cornwall. Holiday homes actively being marketed as 'isolation breaks'. Seriously what the hell is wrong with people. There is one fairly small hospital in Cornwall and a high elderly population.

Have we had Dr Jack on LBC yet?

Amazing that people seem to not think/not care that it's going to be like the continent

Struggling to cope with how bad things are going to get and how quickly it's going to happen. How can anyone look at Italy (2nd best health service in the world!) and not just despair.

Have friends who work in frontline NHS capacity and I'm so worried about what they'll be facing over the coming weeks and months. Literally deciding whether to go to work and risk serious illness/death to save lives after having witnessed the shit-show from the government and the general public's blase attitude towards this. Everything I hear from them makes me so angry at how woefully underprepared they have been left from a resource perspective. People should be taken to trial for the decisions made over the last ten years that have left the NHS in the state it is in.

Try telling that to Mr. Anthony Price of Tunbridge Wells.

"What you see on the news in other countries, you don't expect it to happen in England, you don't expect it to happen in Royal Tunbridge Wells"

And these people

Arseholes the lot of them. Medical staff will die because of their stupidity and selfishness.

Enfield Waitrose (the main one, not the other one or the other other one) looking a bit spartan this lunchtime. No fruit or veg to speak of, or packaged meat.
Meat and fish counter looked alright though and (thank fuck) the cheese counter was well stocked.
