    What an arse
    People here have been told to shop normally and don't stockpile
    I have bought lots of stuff he would probably deem non essential
    Only 75 people at a time in a massive supermarket means you get time to see even more unnecessary stuff than normal
    One woman behind me at the checkout had nothing other than a can of kingfisher
    Would that have been seen as necessary

    What if? What if? All we need is a sense of perspective all round. The rues are to restrict shopping to the essential and therefore minimum amount of time away as possible.ie when you go out buy what you need and while there treat yourself to your guilty habit. no one is saying you can't buy an Easter Egg or three if like them. But don't make a shopping trip just to buy one and then barge in front of another customer just because you think you are the only person who needs the last item . We have the capacity to judge what we need for the best part of a week so get it in one go. We all have to use our common senses ie members of the public as well as individual police officers. So too for your three bottles of shower gel. How many do you and your elderly neighbours need before your next shop?

    He's had to retract that apparently. Can't say I'm surprised.

    Because people will see the sunbathers and think I can do that tomorrow, then others say the same etc. Once we've broken the back of this disease that will probably be the way to go with social distancing for a few months but until then we should stick to the rules.

    I'd rather be treated like an adult.

    So would all the others potentially spreading it I'm sure.

    We've seen people can't be trusted unfortunately

    I think I'll go for an outlawed extra walk. I'll be sure to burn my clothes when I get back.

    How do they know if you are popping out for a second or third walk
    Is someone on every street taking a register
    Do you take a number
    Do you have to go online and register your walk and get a time frame

    No one would know probably. However, it's obvious if someone is sunbathing in a park.

    If you have a half hearted lockdown
    You have to expect a half hearted response

    I don't consider it half hearted. I consider it well thought out for a number of reasons but I wouldn't expect everyone to agree. You clearly think it's not tough enough but Stroller thinks it's too tough from the sound of it.

    Can people still fly into the uk
    Is the tube open
    Has the number of trains been reduced forcing more people into less trains
    Are building sites open
    If you can't work from home are you allowed to go to work

    Sounds not tough enough to me
