I'm genuinely confused. Are you being satirical?This was 2020. Non essential travel was banned even before Lockdown One.

No.I'm genuinely confused. Are you being satirical?
We are talking about spring 2020.All the guidance I can get hold of says there are no restrictions on people meeting outdoors, on exercise, social distancing, travel within the UK...whether or not that's sensible isn't what I'm talking about
There may be a time-lag problem going on. I’m reminding people of how the cops were carrying on in 2020 at the time of the Downing Street garden party, and what “we’re all in this together” meant for everyone else at that time.I'm genuinely confused. Are you being satirical?
Time lag and brain failThere may be a time-lag problem going on. I’m reminding people of how the cops were carrying on in 2020 at the time of the Downing Street garden party, and what “we’re all in this together” meant for everyone else at that time.
Easy mistake to make. I was a bit WTF , until I realised it was a historical referenceHelps if you read the date of the tweet, Steely you knob
Travel has been banned on several occasions.
I must have missed that, and i traveled every week!
Blood on your hands etc.
Not entirely true at least in Wales. In the early weeks of the lockdown there was a very noticeable reduction in traffic. The OB were at one point stopping drivers on the A470 going into Cardiff to ask purpose of travel. I was stopped and showed my ID (support worker) and was allowed to carry on no problem. I drove to Aberystwyth a couple of times and saw very little traffic indeed.Actually travel was effectively only really banned for public transport users, whilst car owners continued to do what they wanted.
In England?Actually travel was effectively only really banned for public transport users, whilst car owners continued to do what they wanted.
Yes.In England?

Rubbish, traffic fell noticeably in the early days of the lockdown. I remember the roads of Crystal Palace been really empty and it was a joy to go for a walk.Actually travel was effectively only really banned for public transport users, whilst car owners continued to do what they wanted.

As it happens I went on a walk around crystal palace during that quiet time and this was one of the scenes asking the way
Speeding and general dangerous driving in and around Brixton
This is now up: About Brixton Liveable Neighbourhood Should probably have its own thread. In fact let me do that now.www.urban75.net
Aye, pretty much this.People really, really, really hate making the sacrifices that everybody has been ordered to make, and then finding out others didn't make them . It taps right in to toddler-level emotion of "IT'S NOT FAAAAAAAAIR".
And then you have this situation, in which the sacrifice being made was really very serious -- not seeing your own dying relatives.
And then you have them laughing about it.
And as for the idea that "most people" weren't obeying -- I'd say that's bollocks. Most people have always gone alone with what they have been told to do. Sure, there is always a minority that don't, but don't let their visibility fool you into thinking that's anything but a minority. One of the things that's taken me by surprise in each lockdown is just how laser-focused almost everybody seems to be on the exact letter of the law for each and every rule.
