Interested to see how they are going to police all of this now, as you're obviously going to have dick heads flouting the rules.

How do you stop people going shopping every day etc...

Will it be a thing where you have to present ID?

Police have said they will be focussing on serious crime to so the question is fair. Is a person going for 3 walks a day enough to commit resources to etc? where will they draw the line.

I think a lot of it is a bluff with hope the threat will keep people on track with it all. What i think will happen is they will rely on the public seeing others flout rules and thinking "why is this **** doing that whilst i am sat in here like a good but very bored idiot, i'm calling the police on this tosser". A garden party for example, if social butterfly dave next door is always having a house full a neighbour will get pissed off and report them. What will the police response be? probably minimal is my guess as the hassle of proving it and all the red tape to get them done is likely to much hassle. They have already given up doing people for weed and other lesser crimes so i can't see them doing a 180 on it unless they can magic up 100k new coppers in an instant.

Can’t remember which mag, I’d guess it was Mayfair, but it was sooooo exciting when Sam did the full nude spread. I was the one designated to go in to the newsagents and buy it so we could all have a look, as I was the tallest, lol.

There are plenty of democratic countries on a stronger and longer lockdown than the UK.

The governments first priority is to protect its citizens. He’s already done it too late so no one with half a brain cell can complain about this. It’s still far too lax imo.

I'm just so sad these measures were not brought in 2 weeks ago. And for what?

The really really stupid thing is that the lockdown was always unavoidable and yet by delaying we've allowed the peak to be 10x higher than it would have been. We haven't even limited the amount of time people have their freedoms curtailed. Paradoxically we will now have to have lockdown for much longer than had we acted sooner. We have therefore delayed for no reason whatsoever.

Get the army out shooting anyone not wearing jogging pants or with shopping bags.

In all seriousness you’re right mate they’re just hoping to deter people with the threat. The police haven’t properly patrolled this country since 1967.
