1) The police asked people to report anyone who broke the rules (taking the dog out twice for instance).
2) People did.
3) The police were overwhelmed by the number of calls.
4) They told people to go away and confront their neighbours instead.
Still, it could be worse: "In a video recorded for the region of Campania, President of the southern Italian region Vincenzo De Luca threatened those planning to throw graduation parties with police armed with flamethrowers coming to their house." (Daily Express - I don't usually quote them!).
I repeat: giving the police greater powers is a cover for the government's continued failure to provide testing and proper protective equipment. They will do anything, including the blatantly ridiculous, to divert attention from this continued abject failure.
Keir Starmer would be better off taking the Eton Mess in Downing Street to task than attacking Jeremy Corbyn under the fake pretext of anti-semitism.
Evenin' all
