The data highlights Merthyr Tydfil in Wales as an area seeing high rates of Covid-19,Beth Johnson and Phil Hobbs became one of England's first couples to tie the knot following the coronavirus lockdown. A scaled-down wedding day saw them distance from relatives and use plenty of hand sanitiser - this is how it unfolded.Beth Johnson and Phil Hobbs had to scale down their wedding day

You forgot to say stand up too mostly.

Well, it was definitely worth reopening the pubs on a Saturday, after more than a three month closure, during which DominicCummings showed the nation you can do what you want, in the middle of a lethal global pandemic, to discover that totally unexpected fact. BrightestAndBest

Nothing new in this. We all new what these idiots would do !

Old news Beeb. Eeeeeeveryone was saying this was inevitable before Saturday. Still nice to see a follow up story I guess?

Keeping the idiots happy while putting everyone else at risk really smart move Boris trying to out trump Trump ☹️😷🦠🦠

No shit, Sherlock.

*BREAKING NEWS*

That is brand new information 😯😯😯

Who would have thought

We are literally living in idiocracy now.

No shit Sherlock

Shocked beyond belief at this

FakeNews tripe, it was a representative of the Police union, the Police federation' that made the statement. Gobshites never said a word when they were kneeling for the thousands in BLM protests

Second wave in October me thinks.

*shock*

it’s all natural, don’t forget what rioting is about !

Drunks can't social distance but protesters can 😂

Bullshit

No shit Sherlock 😂😂😂

Saffiya_Khan1

Say wallah

Just as Scummings planned. Herd Immunity in action.

Crikey. Never saw that coming ....

BrunoBee1 Also in other news water makes wet

This is not news. This is common sense. The same thing the govt expects us to use, but don't seem keen on using themselves, when it comes to easing lockdown. We all know this is part of HerdImmunity fuckem

Well you dont need a degree to have worked that one out 🙄

No shit sherlock

I knew the BBC would focus on the minority behaving stupidly. Just more fake news.

Hahahahah

So drunks can’t social distance - no shit Sherlock 🕵️‍♂️ !!

At least drunks say the truth every now and then.

They can’t distance sober so no chance when drunk.

Omg

LondonUwf pritipatel how do you justify breaking up a predominantly socially distanced small music event of around 50 people - BUT you do NOT disperse the 1000’s jammed into soho with NO social distancing!? DoubleStandards SocialDistancing LockdownStreetParty Lockdown COVID19

LondonUwf I’ve seen very little condemnation of this... response has been “oh dear”. BlackLivesMatter protest was hammered the day after! Small music event around 50 people last night who were generally social distancing got hammered by police and online. Explain what the difference is...

Who'd have thought it 😉

Well well ...now there's a surprise would never have borishasfailedtheuk

Pubs should stay shut, if people are not sensible, if you can't behave and act sensible, people can't moan if the pubs are closed again

Who knew?

No shit Sherlock

Who’d have thought it

Only came for the 'what about protesters' tweets. 😒😆

NoshitSherlock

Meanwhile Hancock praises people for acting responsibly

No shit?🧐

No shit sherlock of course they can't and anyone thinking this would be different is a fool

Breaking News - Water is wet. Scientists warn not to go out in the rain without an umbrella if you want to stay dry.

Close the pubs simple... people who went out are stupid clowns 🤡

Morning update. Nothing surprising.

Shocked. Absolutely shocked. Is anyone else shocked but this? God... I'm just so fucking shocked!

Neither can those 'peaceful' marxist anarchists we have seen for weeks.😂😂

A completely shocking consequence which nobody could see coming pubs

As if this is even news 🙈

BREAKING NEWS: drunks cannot distance. Something everyone has known for decades...

Who’d of thought huh.

This is really surprising!

Is this a joke? Did no one predict that intoxicated people probably can't social distance....

And yet I have been successful at drinking alone for years 🤔

Neither can BLM thugs.

Seriously? The government were wrong to open pubs. But do they care? Nah course they don't thats why they opened them! Second wave in coming quicker than anticipated 🙄

Neither can primary school kids. Next up, can the Tories Social Distance?

No! Really? 🙄

No shit, sherlock

TheStephenRalph No shit, Sherlock!

DarwinAwards

In other news grass is still green.

Why is this a story ?

There’s a surprise - no mention or blame on BLM protests. Hypocrites

Glad to see how sensible everyone is being. Looking forward to a lockdown christmas. Santa best get a mask!!!

In other news

No shit

Only a problem in London apparently. Our local police report that it was quiet & compliant

HelenSalmon2 No mugs those p'lice! 😄

🙄🦠💀💔

You honestly don’t say?

No surprise there. Also, no surprise that the police and the lacklustre government of BorisJohnson failed to predict it happening.

No shit sherlock.

Went so far as to get inside a person

K_S_A_R 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Warn, threaten - DO IT and ACT.

it's nice to see humans again without a muzzle like a dog.

Definitely one to file under: “No shit, Sherlock....”. 🙄🔍👮‍♀️

More from the bleedin obvious later....

That's was bloody obvious

BREAKING: Bears defecate in the woods.

No shit.

It is as if the BBC is looking for trouble and wants pubs closed again. Why didn’t the BBC say: ‘Crystal clear’ Black Lives Matter protestors will not socially distance?

Any chance of some 'comparison figures' for A&E treatments / admissions for last night versus the previous Saturday night?

Neither can BLM rioters! Where was the BBC then?

I heard drunks can't juggle either Madness

But this is ok?

Shocking revelation!

Wow. Who saw that coming? Clearly not Conservatives BorisJohnson or Dominic Cummings 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

And coming up: do bears shit in the woods and is the pope catholic? Find out after these other distractions.

Who'd have thought, eh?

Who could ha e seen this coming.... oh wait everyone. This was a stupid idea and not backed by any science. The cost to society will be both spreading covid and another lockdown. Utter incompetence borrishasfailed ToryShambles

Absolutely stunned that they weren't already aware of the drink fuelled society some low life live in.

Havent the Police been dealing with Weekend Drunks for quite a while The BBC is a Joke

One pint in ‘fuck social distancing come here I’ve missed ya’ 😭😂

This had to be one of the most difficult things to predict.

REALLY?! Who knew Ffs.

How have they managed to get that drunk in the first place?

Quelle surprise

Remember stay one and half fridges apart or two chairs, one bench and half a bed Pubs Air bridges Bournemouth beach goers Ravers Liverpool celebrations Protesters Do the conga The only Theatres open are in Hospitals NHS72 4,700 people died from Covid19 in June WearAMask

If people can have mass gatherings around protests then they can sure & will gather around pubs/bars. If this is the case then get the gyms opened up & bring back our races/Parkrun. Seems one rule for some & not the other.

CuparArab And the Pope is a Catholic

As if anyone needed warning 😒

Norway cancelled mass testing. In pop'n of 12,000 they got 1 true and 14 false positives. ONS reckon prevalence of the disease is 40 per 100,000 in UK. Using Norway false +ve rate, we have 117 false for every 40 +ve true. If you test +ve, you have 34% chance of being infected

Imagine the R number if one of these individuals has Covid19

Really there's only one thing you need to know. In the UK money is worth more than your life.

'R' will be in double figures soon.

There is a surprise!

Never. I could have told you that 😂👍🏻

Is this the morning obvious news update?

BBC. Shut up. People believe believe this shite and actually discuss as a thing.

me_on_average

Well, who knew?

Beers a plenty. Humans and distance. Not a chance. There that’s that sorted for you.

Nooooo you don't say!

Rasmin2011 Satan is HARVESTING souls as FAST as he can, because HE KNOWS HE has but a short time!!!

Yep lookes like that went well Boris

Well. I. Never. 0️⃣ 💩 🕵️‍♂️

In other news....

The media can take some of the blame for the masses descending on pubs after promoting the idea that yesterday was SuperSaturday

I'm shocked I tells ya....shocked!

Siri - show me what happens when UK media unites to convince the masses to elect Boris Johnson

There is a lot of things drunks can't do so why the big deal?

But we have to open pubs for morale apparently. Not places where you be healthy, make good decisions and have the mental wherewithal to social distance yourself. And still, theatres are closed putting thousands out of work. What a disaster

Wow. That's a shock

In other news the pope is Catholic, Labradors eat everything in sight & that Nigerian Prince email was a scam.

In other news, Pope found to be Roman Catholic and ursine mammals defecate in areas of dense arboreal growth.

Also, ursine mammals defecate in areas with a high density of trees... How about holding the govt to account for this spectacular gaffe?

Re-close the pubs

Are you claiming it was any different at protest which you openly supported? Defund the BBC

In other news...water=wet, pictures at 10.

Thats quite obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Whilst in other news the Pope has been found to be Catholic

Well duh

I’m Glad I don’t drink

NO SH*T. WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY GUESSED! i wonder how much blames going to lay on borisbutcherofbritian over the spike in cases or if it will all be blamed on people, pubs, police...

At this point legalising cannabis seems like a really good idea

boris caused this

This has got to be the ‘no shit, Sherlock’ headline of the day, has it not?

GloryBS My dad, Tony Clay caught COVID19 before lockdown. He died on 14/4/20, 3 wks after this photo. He was 60yo with no known health conditions. Now I’m fighting to protect others from a SecondWave. CovidInquiryNow Please support me: sign & RT the petition

Wow. What a scoop!

To be filed under “no shit.”

Who knew that being intoxicated would affect your ability to socially distance

Well well well, who knew?

MillieFiore Who knew 🙄

I didn't notice the police enforcing either social distancing regulations or the criminal law during the BLM protests.

No shit

Coming up later, bears shit in the woods.

I'm sure most people could see that being a problem before they had a visual representation.

Almost as if The govt still chasing herd immunity plan 🤔

So UK next to Pandemic is alcohol a threat !

...😧

I wonder if they can do a test and see if enough alcohol is consumed if it can fend off and kill the virus if you have it? After all alcohol hand wash seems to work for the exterior?

Well I never!!! 🤯

You’ve got to admire BoJo the Clowns optimism that English drinking culture would have an overnight epiphany and suddenly start acting responsibly. Alternatively this was just part of the “pass the blame buck” plan.

Wow really!!!!!!!

Bleeding obvious. Exactly as Cummings knew.

How is it that sports are essential enough to relax quarantine rules, but the government has been more or less silent on how it's going to help fix the devastation the pandemic has caused to the arts in this country? SaveTheArtsUK

Shame they don’t all have their own private Greek villa to get drunk on, but hey ho!

A no brainer , as we have a no brainer in charge would you expect anything less?

Were you in any doubt? Please let’s make working for NHS mandatory otherwise....now clap for NHSheroes

No shit Sherlock

BBCPolitics Neither can BLM demonstrators!

'sherlock' is trending in the uk cos so many are tweeting 'no shit sherlock' in response to this 🤣

In other news, the Pope is Catholic

Whoever would have thought that. They deserve medals 👀

Who knew?! In other news...WATER IS WET!!

Let’s file this under ‘no shit Sherlock!!’

Day follows night...what goes up must come down....yep, we knew that.

You know who could not predict this the Government & 65,000 dead

I know people that shit their beds drunk and you expect them to be able to social distance🤣

OfficialKP180 ...and up is not down. 🙄

I am shooketh

Looks ‘mostly peaceful’ 🌚

Uh huh.

No, really!?!

covidiots

No s*** Sherlock!

Spoonhead8 Drunks cannot distance. What a shock. Whoever saw that one coming?

This is just part of Cumming’s herd immunity strategy.

RCgothic Oh the English, what a laugh.

In other news - water still wet.

Drunks can’t socially distance? Looks like none of the other punters can either. Glad my life isn’t governed by a desperate need to visit a pub any time soon.

And in other news the BBC confirms the Pope is Catholic...

There are so many things drunks cannot be expected to do. SocialDistancing might be one of the least of them.

Really, what about the riots that have gone on at least there's money being spent and not costing money due to vandalism, very one sided BBC

BBC presuming anyone going for a drink is drunk/a drunk.

Cor blimey, those rozzers are smarter than you’d think!

They are all out clapping for heros - the hospital staff who have to deal with the consequence of such stupidity.

I guess it’s even harder to socially distance when the nation’s entire media is crawling in and out of everyone, trying to get that perfectly angled shot.

Er ...

You don’t say!?

You mean they didn't use good old British common sense?

shocker

Nor can protesters but for that they remained quiet 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very easy to be clever with hindsight.......who possibly could have predicted this!

mattgaetz

UK Police only discovered recently that alcohol is linked to a variety of serious and many times violent crimes, including assault, child abuse, domestic violence, homicide and robbery...

'Scientific evidence' only proved this today

Is this a joke headline?

These things are so hard to predict.

BBCPolitics Whow what a fucking genius, no idea how you worked that one out!

Wait, are you saying that drunk ppl make bad decisions.

Who knew?

Bombshell. Anyone know why the pubs opened before the gyms? It would have made much more sense.

Blame the government and their guru Cummings, if you have the guts! Marr r4today bbcnews pubsopen COVID19

Hahaha. Is it state the obvious again

No kidding!

Yet neither can the evil blm yet you don't criticise them do you you hypocritical cesspit

And? Wake up MSM, this is a flu type virus, Not the Black Death!

Fuck me, anyone checked the colour of the sky lately? Grass the same please, might need a reminder 🙄

DyingForAPint GaspingForABeer

What did they expect?

Wonder if any of the aren’t sending their kids to school because of the risks?

Let’s be clear. The government made the decisions to unlock & give confused messages. They are now failing to publish people tested, new cases ,how many are being tracked and traced and covid daily death figures.Any Covid spike is on the government.The government is to blame.

If only it had been possible to predict 🙄

No Shit

Soho businesses were worried about people being able to get to the centre of London due to the essential only workers rule on transport. Did they all drink and drive / cycle?

In other news.... Bears defecate in woods... Water is wet....

Yeah true. Who cares? Open everything up.

Coronavirus: Morning update as police warn the sun is bright

Hundreds of coronavirusuk supporters gather together for mass meeting to discuss new ways of spreading the virus, as NHS staff are becoming bored with the lack of work! xxx🌭xxx😠😠😠

No YOU cannot distance 😵 🥴

Who knew 🤷

Breaking News: Dunkshh can not, repeat t , not..hic, dishtash, nn, iss, Over. An Ouuuut.

BBCPolitics Shocking no one, after a few pints 'stay alert' doesn't really work.

This sounds like a headline from thedailymash

Plus most people actually don't wash their hands in pubs as it is anyway 😅😅😅😅

And looking at the trouble in London last night, I’d say that the police need to grow a pair and start doing their job instead of looking pathetic.

So Ho sweet chariot coming for to carry me off.👿

Gathering in groups and drinking socially, as opposed to helping to prevent the spread of a pandemic, or not being concerned with the health of friends, family and self.

Wow. I had no idea

drunkpeopleslivematter

'police thanked the majority of people for acting responsibly as they enjoyed the night out.' - BBC. Same headline not reflecting reality like 'mostly peaceful'

So they’ll be another spike from all this, kids will be pushed back again from going back to school can no one see without them going back to school some people are unable to work, they are missing months of education but they’d rather open a pub!

Well I'm shocked, shocked I tell you PubsReopening

Its ok they were protesting for blm

Either can police seemingly

It’s hardly Einstein developing the theory of relativity is it?

No sit Sherlock...

People who have had a few drinks can't 'Stay Alert*', apparently. Obviously to anyone independent of thought, with critical thinking skills & thinks the government is crap. (*still means fuck all. Can we start using rules & campaigns from countries that coped better now?)

Wow who would have guessed..

Can't wait to get my 500 quid drinking voucher.

Headlines News, Shocking discovery People Who are Drunk cannot distance, Iam shocked at this Discovery. Drunk people cannot stand usually never mind Distance, New Media Propaganda against enjoying ourselves, Self righteous will be banging the drum.

What a surprise 🤣🤣

You know not everyone in the country are as daft as Londoners

When are you posting this?

Eternal rule of post relaxation lockdown - Just because Boris tells you, you can do something, it doesn't mean it's safe or you have to.

Having to state the obvious because people just don't get it.

And the pope isn’t a pedo

Close them back down then..

It’s not the same lol BLM is about a convict in America 6000 miles away and this is about people who will have mental illness for being locked up for months who will enjoy them selfs so being in a protest attacking police and causing mayhem is not judge able. Media playing us

How is this any different than the V day celebrations or the protests? MSM at it again

BBC, you weren’t reporting this when the riots were taking place.

But yet all those 'peaceful protesters' were ok because you know, MsM vertue signalling. The 'peaceful ravers' were ok you know, because, MsM vertue signalling. A few idoits over do it sinking a few & its MsM hysteria, were all doomed time. Time to switch over or off! ScumMedia

No shit!

🤔 Drunk people can't distance... No I don't beleive you!

Gee its almost like the idea was to let this happen and blame the covid deaths on the public and not the government

Hindsight is a wonderful thing...

The hangover today won't be half as bad as death in a couple of weeks time.

What gets me is the on the BBC Breakfast they said 4 people got arrested because of the pubs being open in my city but actually it was 1 person. The other 3 were in the county. I mean like, they are just throwing mud around the gaff for no reason.

And the Pope isn't Catholic ....

The same as illegal protests then ?

The impact of a 2nd wave will mean that we have to endure the Governments incompetence at managing the virus, again. No one wants to see that fiasco.

They'll just have to be more strict with the rules if people can't be sensible. Only allow drinking at tables.

World exclusive!

Next they will be changing the law so that you shouldn’t serve alcohol to drunk people.

The WHO state it’s rare that a asymptotic person can spread the virus.

No shit. This entire process is utterly flawed and has been badly managed.

A few blm banners and the blinkers come on. ScumMedia

Same as them sober folk doing the BLM rallies

In other news, water is wet

Ohh really- so they now want to partake - too late! It’s already started SuperSpreaders well done let’s continue to worktogether 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yet gyms were deemed too unsafe to open...

Probably how Boris caught it

It would be great if Britain could get over consumption into order. An issue which has gone on for far too long. Let Covid-19 be the answer.

Why did the police not disperse the gatherings, same as they did with the block parties the day before?

What a surprise! So the Tories phase x of herd immunity plan is going well

It's ok they were protests.

Hmmm this looks familiar. . . . . .

Imagine my shock 😱😱

Wow. Who knew eh? irony
