What can we say instead of "Don't you know there's a war on?"

Beagle 2

"Don't you know there's a pandemic accelerating?" is too cumbersome, but I feel like we need some sort of plucky catchphrase to cheekily chastise plucky Brits who pluckily bend the rules with their trademark pluck such as exchanging poached poultry for bitcoin or forcibly gobbing in the mouth of an octogenarian with a compromised immune system.

I think we have to learn from the Italian mayors https://twitter.com/protectheflames/status/1241696164782669824
Personally I like, 'You're not Will Smith and this isn't 'I am Legend' so you could adapt it to similar movie references- 28 Days later, Shaun of the Dead etc.

What about Charlton Heston in The Omega Man?

I'd rather be Vincent Price, to be honest.

But these are politicians they're held to a higher standard. I also really like, 'I am the Mayor. You don't 'stroll' in my town'

Don't you know there's a plague on?

Failing that, carry a cowbell with you at all times. When you see some arrogant Johnny Twos-Up flouting the law in the street, you lean out of your house or car window, ring the bell and shout, 'Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!'

"Don't you know where your clothes are?"

And when they look down to check whether they are naked (they aren't), quickly pop your own clothes off so that when they look back, there you are without your clothes.  While they are preoccupied with processing that, suddenly whisk their clothes off and put yours back on again.

Ask them again, more annoyed:  "Don't you know where your clothes are?"

Then, as if suddenly realising that you have their clothes in your hands, say "Oh here they are."

And give them all back.
