Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner David Munro:

"The fact we're having to debate whether the Prime Minister broke the rules or not is proof we need more clarity about them isn't it?"

[Fiend]

Just for nik at work:



HONK!!

Seven miles from Downing Street isn't far enough. The cunt should have kept going.

[Fiend]

  very good.

Police were at roaches again yesterday checking where people were from. Staffs police ain't messing around this time again

are they fine with folk from leek going up?

cheers

[Johnny Brown]

Sounds like it. Or maybe Shaz gets clearance due to once being crowned the third strongest man in Flash?

[Duma]

not clear if it was just the kebab eaters fined, assume there wasn't 7 of them??

[Will Hunt]

I'd been broadly supportive until now but this is the final straw. When people are not at liberty to fulfill that most basic of human urges - to drive to Cheddar Gorge and "sit and eat kebabs" - we may as well be living in North Korea.

[Fiend]

Kebab send train!

Kebab send train!

Don’t forget to keep your engine running fiend

2nd on my last strongman effort there.
There are OK with people from leek visiting. They don't check your address. They count fingers

[Fiend]

Knowing Leek, they probably check for sufficient webbing in-between........

I can't believe people think travelling from London, that is over 100 miles away, to a highly visible area where there is a history of problems with the locals is a good idea at this current time...

Personally I can’t believe this is where police resources are allocated to!

It is infuriating that 10 months in we are still wasting police resources on small numbers of people exercising outdoors in open spaces.

Meanwhile, nothing is being done about the widespread work place abuse of the rules to force people in to unsafe work environments unnecessarily.

Nor is anything being done to stop the abuse of key worker designations that are causing huge numbers of children to be back in school. It looks like cases among children are going to switch back to growth this week.

Patel has been very vocal this week about the problems with house parties, which do seem to be a problem, but she's been remarkably silent on the working practices in her own department, or the Foreign Office, or the DfT.

The abuse is even going on in some NHS departments. I don't know how widespread this is, but I know someone who works in a non-covid department who was told not to isolate after giving prolonged treatment to a patient who turned out to have covid. They were then told not to get tested after developing symptoms themselves, not to take time off work while awaiting results for that test, were pressured to still come in to work when the test came back positive, and were pressured not to pass on colleague details to Test and Trace.

Minor transgressions outdoors by individuals are irrelevant if nothing is done about these widespread abuses.

[SamT]

The police had a duty to respond to a report from a member of the public, Which I suspect involed two plod in a panda car driving down and having a word. Hardly a massive allocation of resources.

[sdm]

Its not an isolated example though. There are countless examples of police patrols heading to outdoor spots preemptively looking to fine people and send people home when they are posing next to no transmission risk.

These checkups should be saved for the offices with the full car parks and the construction sites with cramped meeting rooms etc.

100% this

Completely agree. I just don’t see that checking up on where people have come from to do some exercise in the outdoors is the right use of police resources. To be fair if they got a call from someone then they would need to attend .

[tomtom]

None of this reflects well on the climbers - and by association (to many of the public) climbers in general.

Which can be an issue when there are access concerns.

[macca7]

Surely the problem here is with the people travelling?

If they hadn't driven the police wouldn't have been contacted and the resources allocated.

I want to climb as much as the next person but going outside of your local area is not allowed and we need to deal with that for a bit.

The people I know that work for the home office have been working from home since last March. The other government departments I know about (I regularly work for several) are all doing the same and have been told they will be at home for the foreseeable future.

[tomtom]

Travelling: Yes of course.
