People can't even follow a simple arrow around a supermarket! Let alone be trusted to go out drinking & keep a social distance!! Dumbasstwats

That's fine with me people have to live

Normal scenes... Are you sensationalizing freedom and normality? Yes you are. To the benefit of which agenda? Liars

So many idiots on a gathering.

Should have napalmed the lot of em.

The UK is full of inbred, test-tube baby looking alcoholics that are risking theirs and others safety to have a drink. Deadddd.

But protests were 'bad'. Ok Daily Express

Hey I'm in this pic lmao

F

Super Saturday in Spike City as the Urban Radicals party like there was no pandemic. Next weekend it's probably Climate Alarmism and another heaving mass of idiots!

You know what they say.. those who don’t learn from the past..

Good luck UK. If you don't end up like my state, AZ, in 3 weeks your ****ing lucky.

Omg. Just omg.

No masks! OMFG

Look at the age group... millenniums...figures! fullmooneclipse COVIDIDIOTS Covid19UK

Pensei que só os Brasileiros fosse. Sem noção! Mas parece que burrice e contagioso fora tbm!

Trumpian level shit....

Germs everywhere 😷

Awwww....its cute how much the UK misses the USA on July 4

Not one fuck given about social distancing or corona! Well done inbreds keep infecting each other and we may get rid of you all with any luck !

No masks? 😳 are they nuts?

かなり人が多い!たくさんの人が集まれば、感染拡大のリスクを感じないのだろうか?落ち着いて、周りを見渡して欲しい。”無病状”は、自覚症状も無い。同時に感染させてしまうリスクがある。多くの人々は、それを認識すべきだ。

Theres no way this could go wrong.

fcksana inveja

BorisJohnson to blame

I think that this don't be good. 😷

Really?

Idiots

Rip.

Well at least in a few week the USA won't be the only shit show. I legitimately don't understand how people can be this fucking stupid. I am totally reversing my position on the inferiority of people with 'average' intelligence in these places that are reopening. SMFH

Welp, looking out for the next UK lockdown in about a month or so.

Disappointed in the lack of social distancing Crimsix

I wonder does people know what they are doing. Brave. Let’s see what will happen.

No one is safe from this virus. No matter what age you are or how healthy you deem yourself. You can still be a carrier and pass it to someone who is at a higher risk. But seeing some of the tweets saying it's no big deal, indicates stupidity is also on the rise.

Guy on the right looks like Alberto Moreno

人のこと言ってばかりで自分等はこんなだもんなぁ やっぱ欧米とかってジョークが上手いんだな

london dont give a fuck about covid even police dont wear masks

Enjoy the summer on your island 🏝

Ask the people who visited Harper's in East Lansing, Michigan how that went for them. Good to know stupidity isn't confined to the U.S. but also in strong supply in the rest of the world.

Not a fucking mask in sight!!!

No wonder Boris Johnson is the prime minister with these idiots.

Uh oh, and they're just having regular old fun and not protesting, so the virus is gonna spread! Quick, everyone shout a protest slogan, scare it away! Intimidate it!

So many people don’t learn until they are on the deathbed

Humanity has failed.

Even if this virus wasn't about I'd hate to go on a night out there in general looks awful!

Well i hope all the people complaining about this also complained about the big crowds of people for the blm protests...of course they wouldn't though because that's racist

People are really moving like clowns man. They’re acting like the virus has suddenly gone off holiday somewhere just because the restrictions have been lifted.

10 places to visit after Covid-19

Absolute idiots. Every. Single. Person. I wonder if you'll all be laughing if you catch Covid-19 or someone close to you does. Thanks for ruining it for everyone else who's stuck to the rules, despite being horrendously frustrated about it.

my man really doesnt look like he wants to be kissing her

NexGenCrusher

We are a social species - so social distance is not a long term strategy bit a short term fix.

Hardly Chaos, doesn't look like an illegal party or Rave with the police been attacked.. 🤔

So face coverings are to be worn on public transport but this is fine?

Looks like most people believe the virus is bullshit

Ah well hopefully a fair proportion will get this 'mild annoyance' and learn the hard way 🥳🥳 party on guys

Super smart, kids.

Hats off to our brothers across the pond.

sultana__ali

amalienoor

not all of them got home safely.

Nobs

they will spread the virus and put NHSBirthday staff at risk and under immense strain, while ppl needing treatment for other issues will not be seen due to covid 2ndwave, adding to the excess deaths batsoup2020

Super Saturday idiot public

Chaos? Where? I only see people standing about drinking. 🤣🤣

Stop trying to makeeverything look negative

Covidiots

Retards i hope they all get COVID toes

I'm in Florida and we just went through this. The government is blaming young people for Florida becoming an epicenter. I can predict your future. Hopefully Boris won't follow Trump's herd immunity idea. We have a lot of unnecessary dead people.

How selfish is this country 😒😒 beaches, pubs just pathetic x how our nhs hasn’t just gone 🖕I just don’t know COVIDIDIOTS coviduk

How many coppers hurt

Nice to see so many people have common sense 😡😡😡

Fucking madness

I am hoping

Ue não é só o Brasil gente?

Got another week before we are allowed out in wales

It's going to happen. People fed up with not being to do things they did pre covid. Time to end lockdown and end social distancing. Cant enforce the unenforceable

From the Greatest Generation to the Most Stupid Generation in only 75 years. Well done!

Guy bottom left with the glasses and beard and the haunted expression. Woke up today and still has no friends.

Wow, I hope everyone doesn't catch COVID like that night club in Van.

wearadamnmask

What is actually wrong with people?! I swear we’re goi g to get another spike soon because twats can’t stay out of the pub for five fucking minutes

Essa aglomeração não parece real.

Shocking

krypt3ia Sweet Jesus super spreader event.

Pelo visto a burrice é um vírus de maior circulação no mundo. Pensei que só tava no Brasil, mas pelo visto, tudo contaminado

O povo acordou nao somos escravos..

Humankind is sadly much further down the evolutionary ladder than I had thought prior to 2020. Ability to accept each other without reservation as to origins, preferences, beliefs and to make educated choices (i.e. WEAR A MASK/social distancing) is sadly lacking.

It's nice to see Corona and Covid mingling together again .😋🙄

Note their names and addresses , and if they catch any disease refuse tratememt . Y should only NHS and it’s doctors suffer bcos of these morons .

DO NOT JUGDE.

Fabiopf08Fabio And then when they become infected because the staff of the salus must risk their lives to care for these people? There must be a rule that says if you look for Covid19 here it does not come

First world m0r0ns

How odd, police with unarmed people and not shooting them.

Good beer, good friends, Covid-19.

Idiocracy and alcohol just do not mix.

'When the boyfriend sees his girlfriend kissing a different dude.'

🤦🏼‍♀️

Love it! Let’s see more. Defeat the crying fear mongers who have nothing in life but an abiding love for their own misery.

What did you expect the british have to go around in crowds especially when drinking.

F-e-r-r-o-u

And within two weeks we’ll hear that there are 30,000 new cases

Complete fucking lunacy. A second way is imminent

Brilliant. Cracking. COVID19 COVID__19

I hope every single one of them comes down with the virus and there isn't enough hospital beds to treat them!

No one swarmed the streets pubs are at 50% or less capacity thats the issue .

Rio de Janeiro (Leblon) did it before it was cool

I don’t understand, even the police aren’t wearing masks. Wtf is happening?

Look on the bright side - they are STILL social distancing better than the BLM rioters!

The result of an incompetent government and press.

Absolutely stupid.

THIS IS WHAT JOHNSON KNEW WOULD HAPPEN! HE SAW IT WITH THE BEACHES? HOWEVER PEOPLE ARE SPENDING MONEY, SO IN HIS WORLD THATS JUST FINE!

Newton Award

Govt thinks this is fine but opening schools is a public health risk?! Shame on BorisJohnson and his clown cabinet

2nd wave incoming.

Not one person wearing a mask

That girl and her man are a mood mood! but stay home folks

Are we supposed to be surprised by this? 🙄

Ifb

Glad to know that everyone is stupid, no matter where you are from.

Will be flabbergasted if case numbers in London and other cites don’t rise in the next few weeks. Just hope the deaths don’t follow suit.

everyone who goes into a public place should be forced to wear a face mask or be fined a 1000 pounds; idiots

Are police wearing masks?

Sharing COVID together

Wow! That'll keep the undertakers busy! 😱😱😱

Blm before lockdown was eased.hypocrital Scum media where the truth goes to die

And hundreds of aircrafts taking off and landing at UK Airports, international passengers are all over the place, Airports and tubes are filling up again 🤑🤑🤨🤧😷😎

izzhargreaves

Oh, so about 1/10th the size of the BLM protests. Must be safe then

This is exactly what Boris Johnson wants , Herd immunity and people spending money borishasfailedtheuk NotMovingOnTilDomHasGone

If this happened in Florida it’s the governer’s fault. If this happened in a blue state it’s Trumps fault. When are we gonna realize people are stubborn and mostly stupid

And the same people will be crying and demanding the service of the NHS if they, their family or friends catch COVID. Do hey really think they are Teflon coated? Totally selfish, no consideration for anyone but themselves Me, Me, Me Sod everyone else.

😳😷And not a mask in sight!!!🤯

So everything we have been through, locked away, not seeing elderly parents meant nothing as you can tel by these ducking bellend a

Jealous or is that his girl? 👀

Enjoy yourselves ppl ...if theres 2nd wave coming it would have already begun with all the protests and crazy amount of ppl cramming the beach . Also seen to remember a lot protests in America a month ago . .coincidental?

And as Matt Hancock said - its just a few. (LOL - looks like it was a problem throughout the country)

Whew.....hey natural selection do your thing

'England will NOT be outdone by its upstart American cousins', she said in Canadian while thinking 'so I can't visit the UK yet? Meh...'

rubberdom Intellegent londoners showing the country how to be complete pratts

If this isn't proof that alcohol causes way more social issues and costs than cannabis I don't know what does.... Its time to legalise a harmless plant, tax it and create jobs

ah yes the thousands of people in a clump together not wearing masks! Virus spreading time 😹

Take a look at Florida, Texas and Arizona. That’s the future. Good luck!

MY GOD NONE ON THIS FOTO USE MASK. 😱 NEXT WEEK MASSIVE MOVEMENT ON HOSPITAL ASKING FOR HELP. WHAT A SHAME UK.

Understand why they want to go pub etc but i would not until we know for sure we have the pandemic under control.

Imagine opening the pubs on a Saturday and expecting people to be sensible... This is the dumb ass decisions we keep seeing from these tories.

And the brits trying roasting the U.S. 😂 They’re out here practicing social distancing right? Their numbers are dramatically below the US, right? 🤣

Johnson and Hancocks 'World beating test and trace app', how many names,address and phone numbers did the bars and or these police collected and collate for the follow up, asking for a friend

If you're old enough to drink then you should be old enough to observe social distancing. Whilst I think the government should not have lifted the lockdown so quickly if idiots like this that deserve the blame if we get a second wave.

15grand fine each for all pubs bars on that street for no following guidelines, thats see if they let it happen again

But when Liverpool fans did this it there was outrage

I question their intelligence

morgfair I know I'm a terrible person for rooting for Darwinism to ThinTheHerd when I see photos of such stupidity, but I'm coming to grips with it.

Enjoy your 2nd lockdown London. Hope they close the roads so these prats can't flee.

We haven't won a war. People needed to go out meet friends they haven't seen but there isn't much to feel good about Thousands of people have died

This is 100% the U.K. government’s fault. These people were encouraged by Johnson and the media (Super Saturday?! FFS). Distraction 101.

Ppl interacting+spreading warmth+humanity.What a lovely sight!Don't forget,most ppl R well aware of ACTUAL science(despite all efforts from the establishment to censor)from hundreds of health experts/whistleblowers+backed by ACTUAL evidence,that entire covid saga was a nonsense.

I hate how stupid people are...let’s welcome the second wave then

How odd. Police being able to walk through a mass gathering and not having to run away

So how is this responsible, respectful to others (vulnerable/NHS) and within the guidelines laid out for easing lockdown and managing this Pandemic. Get a grip govt - we will all reap what you have sown! BorisJohnson MattHancock COVIDIDIOTS

Blame Boris Johnson , its his apalling leadership again

there should have been more police handing fine`s out

Last 3 weeks I’ve been in work shouting 2metres enforcing it walking round with a bloody 2meter stick and I see this WTF

All these people must now be dead from the 'rona because the tv said it's super infectious (providing the gathering is not part of a far left, violent revolution)

Will it have been worth it, for a drink in a crowd?

People have to stop the blame game. The government are trying their best to guide us through this pandemic, Nicola sturgeon has been amazing. So disappointed to see such crowds people need to take responsibility for their actions. These people know the rules! 😬

Most of the people probably live in houses where no one is over 35, no one is a any really health risk so whats the fuss?

Haven't you guys been watching what's happening in the US? Maybe mingling isn't such a good idea right now...

Can't Cure Stupid

Maybe if the press and Boris had not been building up super Sunday or had a sensible approach to lifting lockdown we might have avoided scenes like these.
