Nurse abused by beer-drinking 'idiots' as she told them to go home

An NHS hero has shared a video of herself confronting a group of abusive young "idiots" she spotted flouting lockdown rules.

The nurse, a mum of two, shared a video of the group gathering in a park in Basingstoke, Hampshire - with some leveling abuse at her as she tried to move them on.

She spotted the youngsters sipping beer and gave them a piece of her mind.

Despite Britain enduring its deadliest day of the pandemic so far, with 980 lives lost to the killer bug in just 24 hours, many still continue to ignore strict lockdown rules to prevent the disease spreading further.

The nurse shared the clip on Facebook (Facebook)

Tragically 19 NHS staff are among those who have died, Health Secretary Matt Hancock confirmed this morning.

In a video shared on Facebook, the nurse is heard saying: "I have to go to work every day fearing I am going to be [a risk] to my family because of people like you!

"You are absolute idiots."

But one of the group angrily responds "well don't stand near us then innit".

When one of the youngsters demanded that she stopped filming, the nurse said: "No! If you're gonna be stupid then I'll show the world how stupid you are.

"Absolute idiots, why you think you're better than everyone else, I've got no idea!"

It was only then that the group started to disperse, as she told them to go back to their mansions.

This prompted one of the group to respond: "F*** off."

The nurse told the group she was going to call police if they did not go home.
