I'm not saying it won't but it hasn't so far.

Looking at how things were when I moved here 36 years ago, we would have seen the opposite of what we see today which is a surprise because the Dutch are a more individualistic lot than their UK couterparts. Weird stuff happening.
Unfortunately MA, I think that your average Brit is a bit of a neanderthal. Going to other countries around the world you don't see such behaviour that seems to be the norm over here.

Just because Cummings went on his trip, which whilst unwise, didn't appear to put his family or others in danger of infection of covid, seems to be an excuse for others to crowd together putting their own lives at risk, nevermind others. Whilst crowding together, they seem to think that it's fine to leave all their litter on the floor where they've been.

They go on holiday abroad and embarrass us with their drunken yobbish behaviour. I've lost track of the number of local people who have ignored the lockdown. 3 times I've had to go out in the evening for urgent medical prescriptions over the last few weeks, each time I've seen a number of large groups of youths out together with no distancing, not having any thought for those at home.

I sometimes think that our high figures are partially down to the attitudes of a significant minority.

I also sometimes despair at the population of the country that we live in.
