The rules are not by consent, only the policing. In other words, the police should open all contact with courtesy and respect to gain the agreement of a person to co-operate. Then if they don't co-operate, seek to persuade them. Finally if that doesn't work, then but only then may force be...

And feral teenagers if some years ago are anything to go by! ;) .

With the peak just about to reach us, I won't be going anywhere near any shops or receiving any deliveries, if necessary for up to three months. I have everything I need in storage cupboards, fridge and freezer to cover me and maintain my health. And no, I didn't take part in the mad scramble...

I don't use much cash either, just paying the window cleaners, gratuities for good service and pound coins for a high pressure washer. But I think having some cash in hand now is more important than ever, remember when Visa went down a short while ago and people couldn't shop or draw cash...

That's handy, I'm type O blood group. .

Not just me, anyone. The coronavirus control regulation has a very long list of things we can go out to get. The very last item is money. It doesn't specify when, how, how much or how often. Therefore I can at any time jump into my car, drive to Sainsburys, ignore the queue of shoppers and...

I see no signs at all that anyone is getting hysterical and I'm sure ex Supreme Court judge Jeremy Sumption isn't in his harsh and fully justified criticisms of both the police and the government's part in this law. When someone of his stature, and an ex home secretary who was in charge of...

Of course it doesn't, insurance only covers the things we don't claim for. That's why I only insure my car because I have to and my building without contents because the cost of that is minimal. Over my lifetime I've saved a small fortune though being my own insurance company. .

Another complete non sequitur, not addressing what I posted. You are clearly a fantasist. The police were not called into the supermarket in question to keep order, some officers wrongly thought they could check shelves for non essential goods and they were subsequently reprimanded after huge...

I take note of what Neale posted that it was the first time in years, and only part of his intended ride off road. Others around here are going out every day cycling ten or many more miles in the current fine weather, some easily doing one hundred miles a week. Neale is taking this one...

That's good Neale, I hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable day. .

Utter nonsense and a complete non sequitur. This is not about what the store is offering for sale, of course the public cannot buy what the store does not sell them. This is about the police illegally interfering in what they can buy. The public can buy anything they like while at the...

There's no comparison, the store doesn't tell people what they can and can't buy, they just research for marketing purposes. The offending police were stupidly presuming they could decide what the public can buy. As the government has now confirmed, the public can buy whatever they like when...

She's certainly not the best example for Home Secretary, but the police will leave her alone since their pay rests with her. They still remember what happened when they gave Theresa May a rough time as Home Secretary, big cuts and reduced money. .

How about this from September for hardly any pressure, times of day, then first and second numbers systolic and diastolic, third numbers are pulse rates: 9/9 8.00 From 8am on feeling very faint and weak, heartbeat too erratic and pressures too low to be measured. 11.02 . ...

They are the ones who have been making up their own versions of the law and trying to enforce it. That is why four forces so far had been disciplined for those excesses, the latest two being Northampton and South Yorkshire. As for your ending, what rubbish. The police hardly ever bother to...

I have no objections to the police using a drone to detect groups being stupidly antisocial, indeed they should do. What was wrong was posting it publically online, including criticism of innocent people alone, simply for them being out in the countryside. .

Utter nonsense. Only today the government contradicted the police on essential goods by saying "people can buy whatever they like", their words. The provincial police forces need to shut up before they make even bigger fools of themselves than they've done already. .

I'm ok, I have medical permission from my doctor to rest during walking, indeed it is essential if I am to avoid further tachycardia heart attacks. The advice is working, following one every six or so days during November and December, it was down to four in January and just two in February on...

You clearly weren't around at that time, I was, and the circumstances were very different. Showing a light after dark was always very wrong for obvious reasons, going out from one's home now isn't. And enforcement back then was very different from what you imagine. Back then we didn't have...
