It is sad to see so much selfishness in the Uk nowadays and thereferences to WW2 always somewhat amuse me because our current lockdown isnt dissimilar to restrictions on personal freedoms back then. Just because the enemy isnt visible doesn't mean it isnt at least as dangerous, flouting blackout rules just wasn't done that much law or no law. Views like how can be visiting your family be against the law well it can be quite easily , Berlin in the 60s-80s , WW 2 Vichy France vs occupied France, eastern Europe. Every so often these nasty situations occur and we have to deal with them as a society.

This is a grave and dangerous situation globally and people who think it is all overblown and unnecessary are either willfully ignorant or terminally stupid or voted for Donald Trump. Many Ppruners are of an older age demographic and we should thank our stars that this si the worst our generation has had to deal with -for our parents /grandparents and same age citizens of countries not far away they have had to deal with far worse. We should be sensible and accept that at times the public good is worth more than individual rights. and this helicopter guy is just a bloody idiot who as has been said brought the rotary and GA communities into disrepute.
