(I'm dropping off ppe and supplies, not having a cruise around). Also seemed to be more police around yesterday and saw for the first time three or four lots in groups who looked like they were doing some stopping and asking people what they were doing.

I'm very grateful for having a job where I am still out and about every day. For people in cramped or overcrowded housing with no outside space it must be awful, perhaps they should be getting dispensation to sit in the parks.

The lockdown has been in place for 3 and a half weeks mate. Hardly immediate

The lockdown was enforced with immediate effect and people were expected to change their habits with immediate effect.

Again, 3 weeks in and i don't see many people breaking it. There's always gonna be some idiots but again, the point still stands. 3 and a half weeks to adapt to something that none of us have had to do in 30, 40, 50 years of our lives is an incredibly short amount of time.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a minority, the numbers are still significant enough for it to put people’s lives at risk, such is the contagiousness of the virus.

So what’s your solution mate? It isn’t an easy change to make, but having sympathy with others in a crisis doesn’t stop people dying...

Aye laddie, they've taken our freedom without so much as a whimper.

Dunners wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 9:08 am I'm also uneasy with how gleefully the Police have embraced this opportunity for them to misinterpret legislation and weild their authority. The sinister Terretorial Support Group has been right in the thick of it too.

And then the Met leadership demonstrates zero self-awareness by leading the applause on Westminster Bridge on Thursday night while surrounded by crowds.

Care homes take anything for free, means more profit for the owners. Should have offered them to the NHS.
