That, folks, is the party flag of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists.

Just let that sink in for a moment: people at a Trafalgar Square protest supposedly against the curtailing of person freedoms were brandishing a flag that Mosley's blackshirts waved while marching down Cable Street 84 years ago... 

I know what flag it is Eugene, also in attendance were the NF, EDL and BNP along with flat earthers and climate change deniers at the rally.. I don't see how people didn't see this coming, I have been warning about the rise of fascism for years.

I understand her point - older people may want to "risk it" than be alone at Xmas.

Wonder what she thinks has been happening for the last 6 months?

Loneliness is terrible but i think there are more seniors wishing to survive til it's all over especially in the elderly where the "Make do and mend" attitude is surely higher than in any other age group.

It's the selfish lack of co-operation that annoys me the most.

Revellers, holiday makers and people complaining they've had to cancel their weddings

Erm ... 40,000 good people have died - people who should still be here.

Two people in our street have entertained visitors today - how dare they not co-operate

Panorama tonight, BBC. All about test, track, and trace.

So when Blair deregulated licencing hours one of the reasons they argued was that it would stop people piling out of pubs at 10 pm, having crammed in their boozing before the final bell.  Streaming out of pubs, steaming drunk and wanting to carry on their revelries, and kicking off in fast-food restaurants and taxi queues.    It's even worse now as the nightclubs are all shut.

If there's a stupid thing to do, this government will do it.

Capitalist Tories caught between health or wealth make the decision to deny family members meeting in their gardens but leaves beer gardens open where you can mingle at will  

The incoherence is getting truly scary now. They, themselves, don't know what they're doing.

Yes, this lot are scary the way they are carrying on

Seriously, you could not make this up. Of all the people to get spotted!

These people never learn.

PM's father Stanley Johnson pictured in shop without face covering

The prime minister's father, Stanley Johnson, has been pictured shopping without a face covering, breaking current Covid-19 restrictions.

Mr Johnson - a former Tory MEP - has apologised, claiming he may not be "100% up to speed" with current rules after returning from abroad.

Fines for not wearing a covering in a shop were raised by the government last week to £200 for first time offenders.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has also apologised for breaking the rules.

He was pictured at a dinner party which appeared to have nine guests, going against the government's "rule of six".

Corbyn apologised immediately and said he should have left when more than six turned up. He's paid a fine and rightly so. What kind of person invites more than six and takes a picture and sends it to the scum newspaper. No excuses though, he broke the law and was fined👍

Stanley Johnson isn't keen on precautions, I wish he was and used had them wisely in 1963 👊

Looking at how the EU are scolding Britain over Brexit - it makes me wonder how much bungling has occurred behind the scenes with Covid.

Worryingly Boris really does seem like he's out of his depth

It makes you want to cry, it really does, when you hear of yet more politicians, or public figures, contravening the rules/breaking the law.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse , along comes an snp mp going home on a train after a positive result 

Looks like it'll be  the back garden only, for the next 6 months or more!

It would have been bad enough if she had been driving back (to test her eyesight of course ), but to take public transport?....words fail me!

Yep - she tested positive - used public transport

It's the selfishness of so many people and now we have the Mayor of Middlesboro saying people in the area should defy Gov recommendation. 

Disgraceful

I didn't know I had to pay taxes on immoral earnings did I I have no idea why I put this in here I copied and pasted it from elsewhere, it happened to someone else.

Lazy selfish Britain that's the problem we have

It's not about the recommendations - it's about our co-operation

Nice one 

I have no opinions on Trump at this stage.

New day new dollar. All you can do is watch - as with everything.

It's nearing crazy though.

According to the Whithouse Trump's doctors and medical team have been 'misspeaking' about his Covid situation. Does anyone believe that?

Who knows Fluffers.....last I heard on news was that he has been given 'a cocktail of experimental drugs'

It's weird. I wouldn't want to see anyone die.

Fecked up is DS. They all want to be there.
