Where are all these driverless trains when you need them?
Actually, I thought I read that Sadiq Khan had ordered that fewer trains should run to reflect the message that people should stay at home. Seemed like a good idea to him at the time. .

Doesn't matter if its irrelevant to you. Too many people are not following guidelines, something you just posted about in the very next post with the video of the train/tube. A simple question and check is the least of people's worries at this moment in time when essential trips are all that should be took, which some people aren't adhering too. What harm came to you or your brother or anyone else?

I know what matters to me thanks and I stand by my views that the police were wrong. My brother was doing an essential trip, he didn't need to be checked like some potential criminal would be. It was over zealous policing-end of.
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.

"Just" is the key word. If they were also picking up essentials, then it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If I'm walking around Tescos to do an essential shop, I shouldn't be prevented from picking up something less essential at the same time.

You still carrying this on?
That's fine... I'll still keep telling you the same thing, eventually you might just get it and move on!....
....they were told what he was doing when he was asked, what followed should not have happened-period. So stop arguing with me on it, my view remains they were wrong and you will not change it!

Move on from what. The police did nothing wrong. They weren't to know your brother was telling the truth or not. Policing cant work on well I hope hes telling the truth.
My view is they weren't wrong. Stale mate then yeah? No need to be condescending about it. It's a friendly discussion forum.
I never said that did happen. I said I hope the police fine someone for just buying an easter egg as it isn't essential.

There is also a slight fall in the death rate ;
Quote:
...... had deaths continued to grow at that recent daily rate of roughly a third a day, we might have expected to see 350 new deaths on Sunday and 450 today.
Instead, we've seen slight falls: 260 deaths on Saturday, 209 on Sunday and a further fall to 180 today.

This could just be a weekend blip, or it could be a sign of things improving, atm, no one knows.

I don't believe that estimate for one minute. We are likely to experience the peak in two to three weeks, so how people can believe that kind of figure amazes me. There are only 35,000 deaths worldwide at this point, so it's worth getting this in proportion.

There should be some adequate separation techniques being implemented like we’re seeing at supermarkets.

When was that rule changed, thought you could go to work as long as you couldn't do it from home

If work is not classed as essential you can't go to work, i thought that was the rule?
My work is classed as essential and critical as i make industrial digital printing heads and these get used by food, medical supplies etc
A hairdressers isn't classed as essential so they can't go to work, im not even sure if a self employed hairdresser can work from home?
