Lockdown rule breakers spark anger after live streaming garden party

PEOPLE CAN BE HEARD ADMITTING THEY DO NOT LIVE TOGETHER IN THE FOOTAGE

A SHAMELESS live video has surfaced of a boozy garden party where people can be seen clearly flouting lockdown rules.

Not only were they filmed breaking the Government’s social distancing guidelines that have meant millions of people have had to avoid contact with their loved ones to stop the spread of coronaviru­s, but they even decided to broadcast the whole party on social media.

The group of at least four people can be seen congregati­ng around what appears to be an outdoor, make-shift bar while a fire pit, surrounded by seating, burned in the background.

At one point a man can be heard saying “I’m two metres apart” before a woman says “this is my house, I live here”.

She goes on to shout: “Go home. Save the NHS. F*** off”, although it is clear that she is not serious.

Much of the discussion involved swearing or slurred words and was shared on social media, unsurprisi­ngly, sparking an angry reaction.

Social distancing guidelines were put in place in the wake of the pandemic hitting last month, which included avoiding gatherings with friends and family who you do not live with.

More than 16,500 have died so far in the UK alone.

As the video goes on, a voice can later be heard saying: “Delete it, delete it, delete it fast, delete it. We’re going to get in s***. Delete it, delete it, delete it, delete it.”

A man then replies: “He can’t delete it, he’s just live streamed it.”

As the woman, stood behind the bar, clearly becomes increasing­ly concerned that their party could get rumbled, her attention turns to how they can avoid the video being outed.

“They can’t prove it though,” she says before a man responds: “What, that I’m p***ed?”

She calmly replies: “That we’re all in a garden together.”

A recording of the original video surfaced on the Going on in Goole Facebook page where it was branded a “p ***** up social gathering”, although it is unclear where the footage was actually shot.

A man claiming to have been involved then called for people commenting to “grow up” before issuing an apology saying he was “really sorry” and that it had all been “a bad idea”.

Delete it, delete it, delete it fast, delete it. We’re going to get in s***. Delete it, delete it, delete it, delete it
