Police have dyed the normally bright blue water of a beauty spot in Buxton black, in a bid to deter people from gathering there.
Flouting government instructions to stay at home in a bid to slow down coronavirus, groups were reportedly meeting up at the disused quarry at Harpur Hill, near Buxton.
This has been done before so presumably the black dye doesn't last. The media are certainly consistent though. If they approve of the official line then to go against it is to flout it. They challenge but we flout.
It's a strange thing to do though - messing around in limestone quarry lagoons. There are a number of them in Derbyshire but they certainly do not look inviting. It's the wrong blue - looks more like a chemical soup than clear blue water. I posted a picture of another one about a year ago.

It will now attract goths from all over the country, plus the locals keen to photograph the new look.
I think people also go to Derbyshire for the hills. Couldn't they flatten a few? And the fresh air: a few blazing tyre dumps would sort that.
Sam - it may be too cold up there for goths - those I see look too pale and weedy for outdoor life.
