They also mentioned the fact that in certain areas there were many inter-generational households, houses of multiple occupancy and high levels of deprivation.
The Times carried a photo yesterday of about 40 young men in Leicester, some playing an informal game of cricket together in a field while others stood shoulder to shoulder on the sidelines.

I see on the BBC news website today photos of a funeral attended by Sinn Fein members including the deputy First minister of NI, with thousands lining the streets.

Added - don't forget the outspoken Mayor of Leicester who was visiting his lover's house during lockdown.
