I agree - protesting isn’t illegal - but neither is going to a beach! Although gatherings over 6 people are - once again - mucho contradictory advice!

Our local beaches are reporting busy, everyone being pretty successful in social distancing. I suspect this un-newsworthy scenario is far more common.

I would suggest that protesting against racism in society is of far greater importance than the morons who decided to head for the packed beaches just because they can't wait a while longer to wait for restrictions.
I notice there is a lack of fall in cases now. I wonder if there will be a further tightening of restrictions.
I dread Wales opening up in a couple of weeks if this is what we've got to look forward to. These type of morons are directly affecting us, especially when we've got several family members and friends who work within the NHS.
This just goes to show what a self centred society we have become.

Bonners - cases falling here - I read in local rag that no hospital admissions where I am for 10 days. Also read that no London CV19 deaths for 2 days.

Bonners - I’d respectfully disagree that rioting & looting was less socially acceptable than people sunbathing on a beach. Whatever the cause & however righteous now is not the time for mass protects or gatherings.

I think the pictures from Bournemouth are absolutely shocking and yet again making a mockery of the NHS and what the country has been trying to achieve over the last 4 months - sadly some people see sunshine as more important than saving lives

I really don’t get why it’s moronic to visit a beach / it all strikes me as a bit of NIMBYism. Let’s all encourage everyone to shop but perish the thought they’d want to go out & get some fresh air. I personally don’t plan to vigil the shops or a crowded beach but I don’t think others are moronic for assessing the risk & coming to the decision that’s what they want to do on a sunny day.

I don't think that's what the thought process is LG - I think it's "I've got to go back to work soon, I've been cooped up for months, the sun is shining, sod it, we've earnt a day out" followed by "oh shit, everyone else is here too"
