Family risk life camping on a dangerous cliff edge. And have ravelled against current CV rulings.
Apart from the CV19 fines should these people not be charged for the call out of the Coastguards etc?

Leave them alone until the cliff collapses or they get blown off or the children fall off the edge and the rescue teams have to come out and find them risking their lives.
It's like the idiots who go walking in the Cairngorms etc with no map/compass safety equipment or proper clothing footwear and Mountain Rescue have to find them. One rescuer in the Lake District suffered severe life changing injuries a couple of weeks ago rescuing a couple from Leicester/Liverpool who were camping in poor weather conditions.
Yes I agree folk should take responsibility for their actions but it's the people who have to pick up the pieces and the cost of their recovery which often runs into thousands where a helicopter becomes involved.

Unfortunately, as you can see from this thread, nobody gives a fk about the people who put their lives at risk to help selfish s.
That's a worry, Alucidnation and I in total agreement.
