Brits defied the government's warnings as they hits pubs and nightclubs amid the coronavirus pandemic. Hours earlier, the government issued a stark warning to Britons, urging them to avoid social situations unless absolutely necessary. In its latest report, it said the only 'viable strategy' was a Chinese-style policy of 'suppression' involving the social distancing of the entire population.

Sunday Brunch star Mr Rimmer said he feared for his 400 members of staff working at his 13 restaurants and pubs.
