Most of us are trying hard to stop the spread of the virus - but those who break the Covid rules should be named and shamed, says Malcolm Dove (Image: free)
I noticed with interest the article in the Press about the gentleman fined for urinating in the street (Man used church wall as toilet in York city centre, February 15).
I do not condone his antisocial behaviour in any way. But I can’t understand why the people fined for breaching Covid rules, an antisocial activity with much more serious consequences potentially, are allowed to remain anonymous?
Perhaps naming and shaming these selfish idiots would cause Covid rule breakers to think twice before they embarked on law-breaking activity - which would obviously be of great benefit for the rest of law-abiding society.
