Went out to get the Friday Chinese takeaway for us earlier. Saw 3 separate gatherings on the estate (plus a few more outside on the way the way to the Chinese). Seemed on the face to be mostly adhering to social distancing, apart from kids I know aren't in the same household were playing together.
Took the dog for a last walk about an hour ago round the estate and the social distancing was just a vague memory, with household groups that had been separate a couple hours previous now all sat close together, the drink continuing to flow and music now louder. Some bellends were in union jack-themed clothing and idiotic flags were everywhere.
Couldn't help but whiff gammon (even with the younger families).
The biggest irony was these people had, alongside the nationalist emblems that they were using to justify flicking two fingers at social distancing & other protective restrictions, posters supporting the NHS and rainbows. This country is so cretinous.
