Wake up Britain

Who made that decision, a horse?

Gambling money innit.

How do those decision-makers spell stoopid? Oh well, maybe it’s natural selection at work.

The herd, weren’t listening

meanwhile in UK

It’s outrageous but I suppose it’s all about money not safety

Insane!

No. This can’t happen. Make them STOP fuked

Wow so league gets cancelled and this is going on?😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲☝️

Wow. Good luck to us all.

In the race to be super spreaders of coronavirus SuperSpeaders

imbiciles !

Utterly reckless and selfish.

The shitest sport of all time.

Profit before people. Disgusting. BorisOut

Quite literally gambling with people's lives. We will look back on these days with deep regret.

UK, not just NOT flattening the curve, but how to make the curve as high as possible.

This is just INSANE.

Ignorant UK unleashed.

OMG

Yep, too much money to be lost by the friends of the Tories! Shameful, but as long as they are making a few bob whats a few thousand dead people eh? 👊👊

Agghiacciante. Non vi rendete conto...😥

Do it without the jockeys

Yes, it's oh so fcuking important to keep exercising horses, and to have people burn their last few quid at the bookies. Christ? Is there anyone in charge with a working brain?

No! This couldn’t be happening after so many people have the coronavirus. Highly irresponsible!!

Risky..

Insane

What does it say about some humans that they see the suffering of others, decide to make the same mistakes but will act surprised and devastated when they’re experiencing the same crisis. Ridiculous. They’ll be begging for supplies and assistance soon enough.

History won't be kind to this industry

Government should be ignored and common sense used to save lives.
