That's not the case OGF. Those punishments listed should be applied to the really bad offenders; the ones who believe they are free to endanger other people who know how to behave sensibly. Like me!
Marge regularly travels to Bradford to see her mother, and both of us are happy to wear a mask in places such as the supermarket. I have no problems with that. In fact, I have never personally seen crowds of people behaving stupidly in the way described, but then we have the common sense not to venture into those sort of areas.
As for congregating outdoors, I can see the sense in making that illegal if done in large groups which will spread the virus. The same rule should also be applied to groups such as fox hunters and grouse shooters. There's no way that the rich and privileged should be allowed to do things that the rest of us are not.
