It’s been escalating for weeks now, as soon as the government changed the message to stay alert people were looking for technicalities to work around the rules. we had the glorious weather which brought the first wave of people who think the rules don’t apply to them, we had media stories of famous people ignoring the rules thinking it didn’t apply to them then we had the Cummings incident which saw a real significant change in mind set. Since then we’ve had thousands congregate in crowds with zero social distancing for protests and reactionary gatherings spawning off the back of them, those People have stopped thinking the rules don’t apply to them and changed that to simply not caring and now we’re seeing things like this. I expect this next week we will see total carnage in terms of social distancing, he whole country has lost patience with it. it’s no real surprise. It’s hard for anybody to continue to stick to the rules and deprive themselves of whatever when all we are seeing on a daily basis is other people breaking the rules. I personally have stuck by the rules rigorously but I feel like I’m in the vast minority now. I know plenty of people that I see or hear on social media who are breaking the rules constantly.
