they grow up so fast dont they
 
I'm not an expert on scout uniform but I wonder whether they are from the "traditionalist" splinter group the Baden Powell Scouts.
The kit doesn't look right to me but it's been 20 years since I had anything to do with scouting. They seem to be missing the world scout badge though1200px-World_Scout_Emblem_1955.svg.png
Plenty of mainstream scouts have been wound up by this so it's a good chance it's one of them.

the scout on the right seems to be wearing the baden powell thing where his woggle should be. the bp scouts badge is yellow with 'be prepared' on it. and neither of them seem to be sporting this purple bit
 
Fucking hell. Is that real?
Yes in Scouting for Boys. I won my Chief's Scout's Award (for battering the commie Woodland Folk!) so I would know ! The link has got it wrong that it was removed as I clearly remember it from the late 60's/70s when I was 'active' in the 'movement'.

 
There's a sign up the hill from me outside a church saying 'Parking for vicars'. I can never look at it without thinking 'Scouting for boys'.
When I see the thread "Coronavirus in the UK" I can't help thinking "Anarchy in the UK".
 
the youtube comments thread is whizzing through far too fast to read. Patriotic sentiments being posted into the void, plus, I think, a few people taking the piss- at least that's how I read 'gammon lives matter' but for all I know it's the sincerely held views of a fellow citizen.

 
BBC update

Many are centred around the Cenotaph war memorial in Whitehall, while others are gathered around the boarded-up statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square.

Various groups from around the country, including right-wing activists and groups formed of football supporters, said they had come to London to protect symbols of British history.

Among the demonstrators, who are largely white men, was Paul Golding, leader of the far-right group Britain First, who said they had turned out to "guard our monuments".

The statue of Churchill was boxed up to protect it from potential damage, after protesters daubed "was a racist" on it last weekend.

Protesters sang the national anthem and chanted "England", amid a tense atmosphere and heavy police presence.

One large group moved to barricades outside Downing Street and a number of objects were thrown towards police.

 
They just look completely ridiculous singing happy birthday to the queen and chucking empty cans at police. Hope it carries on just like that. Appears like being such manly men and 0 women they’ve been unable to bring any water or snacks .

pray 4 the nearby Tesco
