Honestly I don’t think the police would
do a thing unless it was a known figure and put on social media. I mean it carries a years sentence for shaking a fist

Boris Johnson warns 'extra precautions' may be necessary after July 19
Boris Johnson has thrown the extent to which our freedoms will be restored into doubt, warning that some "extra precautions" will be required after July 19.

Yep but in the eyes of the law it’s common assault
Sorrry was gonna stop prattling
Hey it's fine Pete I think you know generally my perceptions largely from the political threads, I hope I have decent values.
Sometimes it's hard not to bend with the direction of the wind,but I just feel differently here regards getting the sack etc or that they in any way consciously intended fear or offence.
Some of the context/nuances around Whitty's personal situation complicate it all in retrospect but not in anyway on their behaviour being drunken lairy high spirits.

I’m sure you do have decent values absolutely. The test here though is not what they meant but the perception of the alleged victim but that is me prattling on again

I agree with you there, think the lads have been a bit silly. Like I've said elsewhere though, ultimately the government have made Whitty front some decisions that are not his and it's wrong.

Unbelievable that some think their behaviour was "a couple of pissed up lads being dicks", when it is totally disgusting, entitled, toxic behaviour.
It's the behaviour of bullies who should be charged with common assault.
I dread to think how those lads treat young women after a few drinks.

Petes right. It might be ludicrous but technically it's assault.
Obviously not everyone who does that is going to be charged with assault but they've done it to someone high profile and its gone viral so the law has been used against them unfortunately for them.

No law has gone against them I don't think. Fairly sure Whitty didn't want any action taken against them. Just one of the blokes boss saw fit to sack him on the back of it.
Scratch that, seems the lad has now been charged with common assault.

Moving on, the lack of Covid education this far into the pandemic is astounding. Got my little brother’s football presentation tomorrow and a parent offered to bake cakes, but was told not to “because of Covid”. Must have missed the bit where it started contaminating food.
Either that, or this parent is shite at baking, I suppose!

Everyone loves a covid cake as well. Crazy !

I mean, I wouldn’t press charges. But I’m not a 55 yo man and I’ve got no idea what his previous experience with violence is or how traumatic it was.
If you’re the kind of person that can’t handle his beer and is likely to go around laying hands on strangers you should probably either stop drinking or accept the consequences really. Ive managed 40 years and many beers without being charged with assault

I said I’d stop prattling but the way we ignore the law and expert advice in this country is beyond my understanding. Don’t get me wrong, like St Paul I am the worst sinner and hypocrite of them all but when I hear people say it’s ok to drive 45 down London road or not have insurance because the car isn’t worth much I’m flabbergasted
When Chris Whitty and Vallance explain how virus’s mutate and the dangers to public health and we ignore it and it’s fine cos I’ve not had Covid
I am maybe to in bed with authority and I do enjoy others different thought patterns and challenge but unless we start paying attention to those that know more than us we really are heading to hell in a handcart
And Pva you’re bang on I told you it was common assault, anyone can see that the legal definition of what this is was met in the video but still we’ll have friends on here say it wasn’t too bad or I’ve done worse or it’s the nanny state etc etc etc.
It’s not big or clever to put the fear of god into someone just for a laugh and if others think it is then like shmmee says expect some consequences.
