Social distancing

Did Boris Johnson really believe that people would observe social distancing once the pubs were reopened?  In village pubs it may have worked but it was clear that in city centres rules were going to be ignored. To be fair, with the number of people out, it would have been impossible to stay 1m apart let alone 2.

If the lack of social distancing was the only issue that would be bad enough but as the night rolled on  scenes of carnage  in places like Leeds, London, Newcastle etc became the norm.
