There is no law against driving to a site for exercise. The police still overreacted in the most Stasi way.
When you see the people crowded cheek by jowl in Hyde park, full car parks and not a copper in sight you know that they're priorities are not right.

I don't think the issue with the Stasi was fines But the police obviously misjudged matters here.

They WEREN'T exercising. They were meeting up in a place where they thought they could get away with it.

Shop staff are not qualified to determine who are exempt and who aren’t.
It’s a headline designed to deter people that’s all, it won’t be implemented. I reckon I could walk into Morrison’s next week without a mask if I so wished, tell the guy at the door I’m an asthmatic ( I’m not) and be allowed to go about my shopping.

Re: Coronavirus
Of course, there is also nothing to stop people taking them off once past the door.
There are also people who genuinely just forget, Ive done that at least twice when out shopping.

They WEREN'T 2 strangers that were accidentally at the same location. How is that NOT a meeting between two households?
You DON'T start off "exercising" by having a hot drink. You might need a drink AFTER exercising, but not before. They were BOTH wearing wellington boots, not hiking boots or other footwear suitable for "exercising".
The main issue was the meeting up. One household "exercising" on their own might be a different matter.

Re: Coronavirus
Current rules
Quote:
* exercise with your household (or support bubble) or one other person, this should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
|
They were within their local area, and has been pointed out many times, there are actually no distance limits as such.
You're grasping at straws to defend a stupid over-reaction, why ?

Re: Coronavirus
You do wonder if the charges would have been have dropped as quickly if it was a couple of scallies with cans of Monster rather than a couple of middles class ladies..

Probably not but what's the purpose of the state broadcaster if it's not to highlight the plight of the white middle class?
Also curious if the staged photo for the BBC website was an essential journey.
