A Catholic convert with some unfashionable ideas then and now - a few quotes from his fascinating Wikipage"God told me to arrest you."
"Anderton praised his officers, and warned the British public during the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union of the threat of left-wing subversion, stating in an October 1979 edition of the BBC's Question Time programme that he believed in the 1980s the primary role of the police would not be crime prevention but quelling attempts to overthrow democracy and subvert the authority of the State.
He saw the police as a means of providing moral enforcement against "social nonconformists, malingerers, idlers, parasites, spongers, frauds, cheats and unrepentant criminals", and was a vocal opponent of gay rights, feminism, pornography and those who "openly hanker[ed] after total debauchery and lewdness". When challenged by left wing Labour councillors and community activists on what they believed was his heavy-handed approach as chief constable, Anderton directly confronted his opponents and accused them of subversion, undermining police morale and threatening British democracy.
He also denounced some defence lawyers as belonging to a "Society for the Prevention of the Conviction of the Guilty", attacked the "Race Relations Industry" for creating tension between ethnic minority groups and the wider population and detected a threat by left-wing extremists operating in the trade union movement and in society in general. He called for the introduction of National ID cards, and the creation of a national police force – thereby abolishing local police authorities – especially in the case of monitoring British football hooliganism.
We have two choices in the police force - either we stay where we are and die or we ignominiously cut and run. As long as it is in my power, I have no intention of leaving my officers unprotected...I shall never abandon the citizens of Greater Manchester to the mercy of rioters, rapists, looters and criminals."
Times may change.

I dont think they want to tbh. A relative level of herd immunity is clearly still the goal.
why would they pretty much shut everything down then ?
and why 1/3 of people saying the police are being heavy handed about social distancing

They don't like being asked about testing,they have not done well on that aspect,far too slowWhen anyone in the media questions the science experts about how they delayed the testing process or lockdown they always without fail comeback with bullshit replies.
why would they pretty much shut everything down then ?
Pretty much being the operative words. This is a soft lockdown. Anyone with half a brain knew there would still be plenty with no choice but to go to work. Lots of industries like construction are still going on too. They also know, like we all do, that people will get tired and start to take the piss and head out anyway... we all know there will be absolutely loads out pushing the boundaries this weekend yet we're in a soft lockdown still.
It's a constant drip feed of people still picking it up. There is no way they want to fully stop this. If they did we'd be under vastly more stringent lockdown measures. And we're not. They are still pursuing a minor level of herd immunity. I'm certain of it.
