Elvis is dead too apparently.

Can I Brexit from all the idiots in Britain? I don’t want to be part of this country with them.

Not just UK unfortunately, seems Madrid is having its fair share of idiots going to the coast despite all the tragic scenes we have seen there.
Safest place is your own house, if people have disregard for their ownn and family safety they should be avoided.
Thank you so much to the Spanish police who are keeping our part of Spain free from contamination.

Whilst impressive, I suspect the behind closed doors crimes will have increased. Domestic abuse, sexual abuse but they're the ones that don't come out until months/years down the line.

Fair play to most for respecting the emergency services though.

Stats can be manipulated easily. Burglaries down obviously. I bet the villains are all clearing out deserted building sites and factories that are shut. It won't be until everyone returns to work till the thieving becomes apparent

I like the last one ...radical I know

That's the first resort not last hopefully

Say it ain’t so

Just said on BBC News that 568 of today’s reported deaths in England are actually deaths that took place from 1st April and 7th April.

Seems odd, unless they are doing this to give the impression of a flattening curve, you would hope that the figures quoted are honest. I can understand it being this way if they are testing at pot mortum but i would have thought it would be a much lower percentage.

Can’t quite believe it myself.

I just can't help believing

Friend of mine in Cornwall just told me hundreds of tourists have invaded for Easter. Tut Tut.

I'm in Cornwall, its getting busier, police are trying to stop people coming down but they cant stop them all.
Big accident on the m5 yesterday with an overturned caravan, 2 mile tailbacks, most of which were holiday makers.

Fuck off cunts!

Just seen the crime figures for Kent. Reported crimes almost halved (- 46 %) in the last week of March compared to the same week last year. Wow!

No one on the streets to mug. No unoccupied houses (except the homes of those who've gone away for the weekend - just a hint, lads). No drunks outside pubs. Battered spouses can't phone for help. No shoplifting as no crowded shops.

For sure, what you term “behind closed doors crimes” will have increased hugely. I’m guessing a good number find their way into the figures whilst many won’t surface for some time.

That said, those crime stats are very encouraging if replicated around the country and in subsequent weeks.

Why no categories in the death numbers lists?

Yes. Easy enough to explain but welcome nonetheless.

But highly effective.

Only two ways in unless they can fly in,shut the bridges and the tavistock (?) Crossing,job done

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Shame a lot of these police dont put as much effort into this as they do with burglaries, attacks and other stuff. They dont want to know about them.
But easy targets like this they love. Never seem so many about with their note books.
Pathetic.

Bit later when all the numbers are in

 

[kippax4ever]

I think they should all be, anything from: fined, banned from driving, banned from holidaying, made to work on the front line in hospitals changing bedsheets, deported to some random island nobody else lives on, charged with terrorist offences, shot in the head...

Take your pick.

1 volunteer for your last bit..

A30, a38, a39 and various back roads.
I still cant believe people think it's ok to do what they please.

Downing Street has said supermarkets and shops that have remained open during the lockdown are free to sell any items they have in stock, following a warning that police could start searching trolleys for non-essential purchases
