[Stickybottle]

Maybe this is one of the reasons why we are struggling so badly in this pandemic crisis?

What is it going to take for the government to get properly on top of public order matters?

[burlyshirley]

Ah I wonder if I've misunderstood, I thought start and end at home meant literally exercising in your own home and not going out to exercise. Didn't think it through !

Guidance for Tier 4 includes...

// Exercise and recreation

People can also exercise outdoors or visit some public outdoor places, such as parks, the countryside accessible to the public, public gardens or outdoor sports facilities. You can continue to do unlimited exercise alone, or in a public outdoor place with your household, support bubble, or with one other person if you maintain social distancing. You should follow the guidance on meeting others safely. //

// Public outdoor places include:

parks,
beaches,
countryside accessible to the public,
forests
public gardens (whether or not you pay to enter them)
allotments
the grounds of a heritage site
outdoor sports courts and facilities
playgrounds //

The photograph of Snowdonia is from the first lockdown.
How can you tell where cars are from...without stopping and questioning each one?

i am hard pressed to keep up with the laws, i only know what i can do and thats meet one person only outside at one time, which quite frankly is bonkers.

[emmie]

this is from the link

On Saturday, North Wales Police said officers had "turned away" people who wanted to walk up Snowdon in breach of stay-at-home rules, including some some from Milton Keynes and London.

as i have stated time and again, there are no water cannon now they were sold for scrap ages ago. and you would have to have the approval of parliament i believe to use them, but they are consigned to history now


Doesn’t need to be water cannon, a drenching from a fire hose will do

Police National Computer and ANPR technology at their fingertips.

You can still exercise in parks etc but travelling 250 miles is not permitted under the ‘all non essential travel must cease’ order.
For the hard of understanding.

The police have better things to do.

[emmie]

i suggest that these demos are peaceful in so far as they aren't rioting so you can't hose them down, there must laws which say what you can and cannot do, NJ is the one who knows about these things.

[pastafreak]

There is no need to be insulting stickybottle.

[MartinMillar]

There were pictures on Facebook taken from a drone of people exercising in the Lake District slating them, but they had no idea where these people had come from.
I think care needs to be taken not to cast aspersions without all the facts

[Stickybottle]

Insulting?
Just pointing out the rules and regs for those who are struggling with plain English or the current Covid rules because it seems there are a few.

Brought it upon ourselves, served us right.

i haven't been able to travel to see family this Christmas because of these rules, laws, but i suspect many did ignoring all the advice -

[emmie]

you can't suppress 65 million people, its just not possible to enforce all these ever changing laws, rules. I know some on here who haven't seen their families for months, mine included, no idea about others in the wider country -

[emmie]

you can make it tougher but will people just get fed up and do what they want anyway - which seems to be the case in many places, going on abers posts across the country.

Many will never see family again because of the idiocy of others.

I was lucky to squeeze a quick trip in August otherwise i would not have seen them since August 2019 at my dads funeral.

Sticky bottle without being aggressive or insulting can you explain to us what your issue is and what your solution is?

[smurfchops]

I have said it before and I will say it again. The police and the Government are too weak. We need police, the government and the army to stand up to covidiots and get a muck spreader all over them if they can’t use water. This country is going down the pan. I said the vaccines would be a farce and I was right there too. God help us all.
