Can he defy El Gov. and not enforce a lockdown? Can he instruct the local police and officials not to implement the rules?

Interesting times ahead.

He's independent of political party so I guess he is protesting and hoping it will help his popularity, whilst knowing that the Government has the ultimate power here.

Police say Boris Johnson's dad Stanley will not be fined for shopping without face mask

Coronavirus: SNP MP Margaret Ferrier apologises for travelling on public transport after positive COVID-19 test

The SNP's Margaret Ferrier said in a statement there was "no excuse for my actions" and "I apologise unreservedly for breaching COVID-19 restrictions by travelling this week when I shouldn't have".

"On Saturday afternoon, after experiencing mild symptoms, I requested a COVID-19 test which I took that day," she said.

"Feeling much better, I then travelled to London by train on Monday to attend Parliament as planned.

"This was wrong, and I am very sorry for my mistake.

"On Monday evening I received a positive test result for COVID-19.

"I travelled home by train on Tuesday morning without seeking advice. This was also wrong and I am sorry. I have been self-isolating at home ever since.

Rules are for proles so the elite can lord it over them. :rolleyes:

Unbelievable that she should have got the train back home after a positive result. :dunce:

You would think these public figures would know better! :td:
- Boris Johnson's father has said he is "extremely sorry" after being photographed shopping without wearing a face covering :dunce:
- Jeremy Corbyn has reportedly apologised for breaking the rule of six by attending a dinner party with his wife and seven other guests. :dunce:

I did that this morning when I nipped to the shop for milk. It was a mistake, nothing more, nothing less.

I suspect you're not the PM's father nor have you previous form for apparently flouting the covid rules.

Corbyn's taking the mickey and Johnson Snr has form (inessential trip to Greece breaking lockdown rules, and buying a newspaper after his grandchild was born in April again in breach of lockdown rules).

But apart from that, the rule of 6 and pretty much every other rule has been ignored, and I can guarantee the the new rule of no houses mixing will new equally ignored.

Christmas will be interesting. People round here have no intention of keeping to groups of six for Christmas dinner. I don’t think they have enough inspectors to catch anything more than a very small minority of the population and I dare say that not many will want to work on Christmas Day!

Don’t the police need a warrant to come into your premises without permission?

She has had the whip suspended. By the far the worst example of COVID rule breaking from a politican we've yet seen.

Or stayed at her 2nd London based home. Or more importantly remained in Scotland in the first place, when she had symptoms.

Or...

She could have self-isolated in her London accommodation, in line with Government guidelines...

Re "entry into premises" - https://www.college.police.uk/Docume...egislation.pdf

Entry into property
 Police need a warrant before they can enter and search premises.
 However, the Coronavirus Act 2020 has provisions within it to cover the power of entry in certain exceptional circumstances.
 Schedule 21 of the Coronavirus Act allows an officer to enter a property where they have reasonable grounds to suspect that a person within is potentially infectious, and they need to direct or remove the person for screening and assessment.
 Officers must be sure it is both necessary and proportionate to enter a property on these grounds. They must confer with a public health officer unless it is not practicable to do so due to exceptional circumstances.

I would imagine Schedule 21 might get invoked quite frequently...

She's also reported herself to the police. It will be interesting what action they will/will not take.

Can she be fined both in England and scotland for breaking the rules in two different countries.
