    Irish people don't do rules. We seem to have forgotten the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" mantra.

    But lets face it, we have a weak police force who just ignore wrong-doing by everybody, who sort of don't care once they can turn a blind eye.

    But civic pride and a small cohort of Irish people don't seem to go hand in hand. This is why we have the wreckless behaviour on our roads every day by car drivers, cyclists, fly tipping, our beaches overtaken by knackers on fine days and every sort of rubbish left behind.

    But then again, there is a mixed message from the government. We are supposed to going up to 5km from home, but only for essential supplies, exercise, etc. If this were the case, why are garden centres open - since when was a trip to the beach or garden plants an essential journey?

    Thete is no 5km limit for essential supplies

    Austrians and Danish as a people are quite disciplined, our reaction is quite simply a joke. Social distancing signs ignored on trains and in stores, packs of teenagers roaming the streets together and I have witnessed almost terrorizing the older folf on the street.

    Hi, where do you live to witness such terror? Sounds very very frightening.

    sorry about the vodoo effect. What is annonying are the families who plonk themselves at the entrance to the beach and literally dig themselves into the (protected) dunes a foot away from the narrow path to the beach making it impossible to be less than 3 foot away from them. totally selfish behaviour. No wonder there is a huge spike in children getting infected - with supervision like that they have no hope.

    Who told you about this huge spike in children getting infected? Sounds very very frightening. I have kids myself and haven't heard of this huge spike.

    Video clips online of Sutton correspond with the photos of brazen breaches of social distancing rules

    Sounds very frightening, can you link some of the video clips you have?

    Like they did in Austria and Denmark?


    Or Dubai and Singapore?

    Both showed fresh waves when restrictions were lifted
