I am not excusing British drink-to-socialize culture, I know, pubs reopened, drunk people, covid...but you are not alone: pic from Milan's canals (source Corriere)

Blame the government. Not the people

Was that his first clue?! 😆

UK = 44.220 killed by COVID 19

Really? FFS! They obviously wouldn't know shit form clay.

Well, there's an insight.

No shit.

Drunk people are gonna do dumb things. Before Covid, you had to stop them from driving. Now you have to keep them far away from you and anyone that might get sick when they're screaming, laughing, crying, coughing ...

Load of bollocks. When I'm drunk I just want a quiet corner to sleep in. The media showed a small majority of twats ruining it for many others.

Sounds like a thedailymash headline

Did the police consult Sherlock to come to this conclusion?

Who would have thought.......

As if there was ever any doubt 😂😂😂

That’s why they’re the police

Stay at home and get drunk instead safely make sense 🙃 🙂 yeah

neither can protestors so stop being hypocrits

Yup. Here's a group of obviously drunk kids in Michigan, USA.

No. Way.

The government messed up big time. What they should have done is sent everyone in the country a BLM t-shirt and then the Guardian would be thinking these drunk crowds would be fantastic.

Not one person would have known that. We definitely needed this experiment.

No shit Sherlock

No shit

'Don't overdo it.'

I’ve been saying that for months. Just don’t get drunk temporally while covid19 is around & rules are still in place.!! Not that’s difficult and prob don’t let the pubs let u over drink SocialDistancing

Well, who could possibly have predicted this?

And in the understatement of the year ...

Its almost as if alcohol reduces inhibitions or something..

Expert insight

I don’t believe this. Health Secretary said people behaved responsively.

No shit Sherlock

Rocket science

This is Old Compton Street in Soho which has long been a huge gay bar/club strip? Mostly young men. This scene is not even representative of the West End let alone London.

A truly shocking revelation. Who could have foreseen that drunk people wouldn't be particularly good at respecting each other's personal space?

I'm sure everyone's stunned by this unexpected development.

The job of millions is at stake because of the inability of adult people to use their brains. Time to move to Europe

'Crystal clear' BLM Rioters can't socially distance, say police in England..........obviously, that's why we keep running away from them.

Going to get their eyesight (and brains) tested today

Who'd have thought alcohol impairs people's cognitive abilities.

No sh*t Sherlock

You dont say 😂

1 meter is normal. It is a joke. But if you elect a clown you have to expect a circus. BoristheClown

You don't say.

people struggle to grasp it stone sober in a supermarket that has giant fuck off arrows telling you which way to go down an aisle, tape showing what 2m is on the floor and huge signs with 2m social distancing guidelines on it. The public has been set up to fail.

What's cristial clear ..is the police have lost the streets to mob rule.

Chrystal cleat that Mr Apter did not deal with anyone on his token night shift. He may have been driven to the incident, looked and then left.

Pubs reopen in Britain. Familiar sights instantly return

Any drunk person on this planet shows more brains than anyone endorsing the Covid19 restrictions

The vast majority of the public, drunk or not, haven’t been able to do it since day one! Booze is just gonna make it worse

They are drunk inspector are they still distancing ...

I really hope they all die, but at home all alone, rather than wasting money the NHS can use on those who need it.

Not just drunks. Anyone actually. And that has been the case for months apart from strictly controlled environments.

I think we all know this

well that was fucking obvious from the get go. give 'em an inch and all that

Then jist pretend it’s a blm protest, there : 0 risk of spreading the virus, you cheeky lying press

Caza341791 Didn't see that one coming... 🤦‍♂️

Now imagine legalising cannabis. Would of been some great conversations happening. Munchies bought and an early night for all (pain free)

No sh&t....

And day follows night. Who knew

It's time that muck was banned and weed legalised , we're a lot more civilized than that load of drunkn twats.

😂😂😂😂😂 serious about social distancing....Johnson and his crew are taking some of the public for fools. Alcohol will always be what tips the apple cart as sense flies out the window.

I’m shocked.

Boris’s Leadership is really worse than none. Other countries opened bars and restaurants until 11, for example, to stop precisely this. He’s too lazy to even copy other’s good ideas.

Please come and tell the Texans. COVID19TX TexasCovid19 Texas

Crystal clear you'll get some thicko's on twitter trying to defend this on the grounds of we've got to get back to normal.

Well, could Johnson be expected to know that!!! Smh

Premature reopening of pubs

Wow but a party in Brixton is an illegal rave. We so ain't equal fam

glynis_fisher Isolated incident says twathancock

No, really? Whoever would have thought that?

Not like journalists who clearly know how to socially distance 🤦🏻‍♀️

'Crystal clear' A second wave is about to hit Britain.

Who knew that quaffing copious amounts of ale whilst wearing a face mask was impossible, obviously the answer is to throw caution to the wind and abandon the face mask...

We all know UK police are GENIOUS!! 😁 😂

Tell me something that I don't know.

If you are 65 or over it's probably not advisable to be in the thick if it, but the fact remains that the under 60's are at low risk. Coupled with the fact that 16m households (56m people) don't have a vulnerable member. It's just scaremongering to claim huge rise in infection.

Don't understand. Can society not enjoy themselves without alcohol?

Wtf is the matter with these people? Yes the govt bear criminal responsibility, but so do they

.... 🤔 😋 😁 😂 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

It was obvious. We all knew this was going to happen. The question is, why do they allow this to happen?

Knowing the UK we will need scientific data to prove the bleedin obvious

Is herd immunity a real thing with this particular virus anyone know? Because if it is, then intermingling needs to happen. If herd immunity is not possible then we need to stay apart for quite a long time.

What a shocking assumption

I'm sure that was known before the pubs even opened

But we had to try it to be sure?

NO WAY SHERLOCK! Drunk people cant do that ? COVIDIDIOTS pubsareback SecondWave

You don't say!

Duh

Unlike the blm who were law abiding

Blindingly obvious. Most people do not even distance when sober.

What were the chances of that then? Congratulations BorisJohnson. Looks like you're going to be responsible for thousands more deaths.

Which is a major problem as the english get drunk after drinking 3/4 of a pint of weak lager...

No shit

It's quite funny how the media have been whipping up SuperSaturday to get everyone excited, and now it's time for them to condemn everyone.

What a shock...🙄🙄

In other news.... water is wet.

But what about good old common sense?

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️good grief!!! how desperate are the people of England to get drunk

although quite predictable a veritable gift to BorisJohnson for his future blame-game

I’m so surprised 😱 who’d have thought BorisJohnson COVIDIOTS

Well thats bloody obvious

Who would have known...
