    Celebrating the end of a war immediately after the fact is very different to a conga down a street 75 years later during a global pandemic, during which we’re instructed to stay inside. If VE Day is now about remembering the sacrifices made and marking the occasion with dignity, how is a pissed-up conga line respectful of that?

    And what has being miserable or cynical got to do with it? There’s thousands of people all over the country suffering and dying from a virus that won’t go away while idiots like the video in Warrington flout lockdown instructions. I know you acknowledged the social distancing issue, but it’s just another example of people hijacking something in the most self-serving way.

    Like I’ve said elsewhere, tell the carers dealing with it all, or the families of victims of the virus, that they’re just miserable or cynical to want people not to do daft stuff like this & extend all the misery and illness?
