These silly VE Day 'celebrations' are the death knell of 'lockdown'.
Cretins having street parties as an excuse to get p*ssed with other people again.
I fully expect to see a spike in cases, hospitalisations and deaths in 2-3 weeks.
I just hope there isn't a scaling back of the relaxation of restrictions that help the economy.
Saving lives should be the priority, followed by keeping as many parts of the economy functioning as possible.
People having a p*ss-up that trivialises a catastrophic world war should be way, way down the pecking order.
Sadly, our nationalist right-wing media have fanned the nationalist flames for such celebrations (encouraging neighbourly get-togethers and printing stupid posters), and our nationalist, right-wing government seems happy to sit back and reap the nationalist harvest Regardless of the consequences.
