hard to believe that a tory would act as if there’s one rule for them and another for everyone else but here we are
The shadow home secretary has urged the cabinet minister Robert Jenrick to fully explain himself after the Guardian revealed he had travelled more than an hour away to visit his parents at the weekend – despite warning others to stay at home during the coronavirus lockdown.The communities secretary – who has made media appearances urging people to save lives by remaining in their properties even if tempted to see loved ones – went to see his parents at their Shropshire home, 40 miles by road from his own.It also emerged that Jenrick travelled 150 miles from his London property, where he stayed at the start of the lockdown, to his £1.2m Herefordshire home from where he travelled to his parents. His website says he lives with his family near Newark, his constituency in Nottingham, and London.

1/2 For clarification, the force position, in line with national guidance, is that we are not monitoring what people are buying from supermarkets. This message was sent with good intentions by an over exuberant officer who has been spoken to since this tweet was published.

Bar Hill Tesco is fucking massive as well, and the big supermarkets are on the ball now with social distancing: limiting the number of customers in the store, guide lines on the floor and all that. Cops patrolling is insane. But also, if you were worried about social distancing, wouldn’t you want the customers dispersed across as many aisles as possible? “Non-essential” (wtf) aisles being empty means more people wandering around the others. Dumb pigs can’t even decide which outcome they want to harass people into
― Microbes oft teem (wins), Friday, 10 April 2020 10:40 (four years ago) link

potentially apocryphal but someone at my work said her sister-in-law was given a 60£ on the spot fine by the rozzers for being out to buy wine only
How does this even work? If you're on the way you can just lie, if you're on your way back you say they were out of the essentials you wanted so you just bought this.

Accepting that it’s possibly apocryphal, people massively underestimate how much police power comes from enforcement of laws that don’t exist, people being unaware of their rights and a general unwillingness to not tell cops the truth.
― ShariVari, Friday, 10 April 2020 10:57 (four years ago) link
If I’d, say, had a bottle of wine and was going out for another and a cop (or anyone) asked me what I was doing out I would probably tell the truth without thinking
― Microbes oft teem (wins), Friday, 10 April 2020 11:00 (four years ago) link
the off licences are so they can fuck off and mind their own business tbf. i realise this is not always an easy conversation to have as the last time i had it (admittedly in australia) i ended up in handcuffs in the back of their van for half an hour while we discussed who was right.

I'd probably tell them the truth because fuck off I can buy wine if I want to

I was quite polite last year when two cops picked me up pissed wandering along the side of not sure which main road, but I did insist I hadn't done anything wrong. Grateful for the lift home tho.

This is absolutely bizarre. If you stop people getting calories from “non-essential” sources, you’re just putting even greater pressure on the “essential” foods. https://t.co/o03byqAH14— mary mac (@marykmac) April 9, 2020

Brockwell Park was pretty quiet earlier imo - still a few sit-downers but way down on a week ago. A lot of unleashed dogs which the council are no doubt freaking out over as I type. Didn't notice any police or flashbulb-armed men with bowler hats with PRESS labels on them though.

Around 80,000 migrants are usually needed. Most come from continental Europe, and their numbers had been declining since Brexit because many appear to feel unwelcome and the fall in the value of the pound has, anyway, made working in Britain less rewarding financially.
