Anyway - the police have been given a slap down by No. 10 this afternoon, because police told shops Easter eggs are not essential goods.
According to the PM's spokesman: "If a shop is allowed to remain open it will sell whatever items it has in stock.”
Police being told by No. 10 to wind their neck in a bit.
Good.

Your brother knew what he was doing, the Police didn't. That's how these things work. I'm not so sure why the outrage of them trying to do a difficult job and just making sure what he was saying was true. Yet the very next post you made was about people on the tube/train which you didn't know how many were making essential trips and that more should be done. Just as the Police were doing more to make sure your brother was correct in what he was saying. These are temporary measures set up for the benefit of us all.
I'd hope the police would fine someone for going to the shop just to buy an easter egg.
