Wouldn't it have been cheaper/sensible to buy some bottles from the supermarket and drink them in your own garden? At the end of the day we go to the pub to socialise not stand in a queue.
What do you think we have been doing for the past 3 months? Change of scenery is always good. Plus we were able to converse with people - of course whilst being 2 metres apart so you could say we were going to the pub to socialise, therefore adhering to the pub police laws that you quite clearly set.

I was socialising, no queuing involved really. Just doing my bit for the hospitality industry but I wont bang on about this selfless act

You could chat to people in a supermarket queue

Sounds fun The supermarket trip is far more “risky” than sitting in a garden, pub or private version, with a couple of mates

A lot of government bashing for individuals travelling across the country during lockdown but little criticism of the mass gatherings taking place. Double standards?
This time last week this thread was on overdrive. Attacks on the police and disrespectful behaviour were (quite rightly) condemned by nearly everyone including those who supported the protestor’s cause. But Saturday’s violence, disrespectful behaviour and unprovoked attacks on the Police have barely raised a murmur in comparison. Some who posted multiple times last weekend, apparently stopped having any opinion this weekend and disappeared. I’m genuinely not having a go. But I do find it confusing. Is it that everyone is too fatigued by the constant tribalism and just want to get back to talking less contentious bollocks?!

I sometimes do. Actually had a lovely chat with the fella on the till yesterday. Had we gone down the buying supermarket beers and sitting in the garden route yesterday we wouldn't have been able to meet and recruit the very generous lady that is going to be doing some driving to deliver meals to the homeless, but like abrahammer also bang on about selfless acts.

Primark has some decent cheapo stuff that is ideal for holiday wear. Yes, I get that that's not really necessary right now however ![Smiley](//thetownend.com/Smileys/tefsmile/smiley.gif)

I think I read that SD were offering 50% to NHS workers which might explain the queues? Likewise Primarni don't do online, and it does appeal to some people, as does the basic action of just going shopping. In addition the practicality and fashion value of SD products was plastered all over the front pages yesterday, perhaps people were attracted to the obvious comfort provided whilst making Nazi salutes and pissing on memorials?

I am not sure there was much more to say. My views from last weekend still stand, but apart from turning into Piers Morgan and repeating my same views over and over again, which do little to change the situation, i'm not sure what needs to be said. My views: Protest totally justified Attacks on Police unjustified Method of protest irresponsible but only due to social distancing nothing to do with the cause Only difference this week was the far right/yobs looking for a scrap/hooligans missing the football crowd turning up and getting pissed and involved, which was inevitable and has been happening with every significant political or cultural "event" in recent years anyway.

Also for those who struggle financially I guess it’s the best place to buy clothes as it’s cheap as chips Tried to make that sound snobby, failed a bit

Most supporters of a lower league team in a rural part of the south/south Midlands have views that are right of centre and reflect the lack diversity within their social networks and where they live? I am shocked by that.
