Lock up all the Covidiots for the good of the country

Sir, – Watching the news and seeing what is happening in Liverpool I cannot understand how these youngsters, after closing-time, group together with no distancing whatsoever.

The current wave of Covid ruining our country is not down to the hospitality industry.

It is brainless nitwits breaking all the rules that are the cause of all the trouble.

It’s those youngsters that hold the illegal raves, the students holding illegal parties.

The elderly, the vulnerable and the disabled have been locked away for months with all their freedoms and rights taken away, suffering immeasurable mental damage.

Companies are shut down again causing massive economic damage to the whole country and total desperation for employers and employees.

What the governement should do is a total curfew for youngsters, no parties, no raves, no alcohol.

Not the elderly, the vulnerable, the disabled locked away, not the shops and factories closed, not the hospitality shut down, not the sport-accomodation locked.

Those youngsters who refuse to abide by the rules, the Covidiots, the deniers, the rule breakers, the ‘hoax’-believers, they should be locked down, for at least half a year to protect the whole country and economy from their behaviour.

I know what ‘shielding’ has done to the vulnerable and the elderly, the disabled, as my husband is in this group.

It is now high time the governement locks down those who are irresponsible and selfish, those who willingly and knowingly break all the rules. Mrs Maaike Cook.
