Police Stop and Checks Underway

[Little Londoner]

Ah, one of those 'the rules don't apply to me' people.

Exactly, that's why I have not been out for weeks only to shop. I don't give a s*"^e what you applaud I asked a perfectly pertinent question and you come up with a thousand IF'S.
Pray tell me where I said I'd been going out before leaping off the high horse you and others seem to have landed on.

Just so it may get absorbed between your lugholes I'll say it again " I have not been out for weeks only to shop" read and digest.

You did come up with a pertinent question.

All I did was copy and paste the government guidelines, with a link to the original site. Not my 'thousand ifs'. Just the government regulations, with accompanying reasons why they had listed them. You asked. I tried to answer. If you'd have followed the link, it would have been blindingly obvious. You 'read and digest' that.

You answered that with something about 'testicles'. You aren't answering me, I didn't write the rules. Write to 10 Downing Street. They came up with it. If they'd have said 'it's perfectly fine to go out in your car', I'd have pasted that.

I don't care if you've been going out or not, personally. It's better for all of us if you don't, or I don't. You can repeat 'I have not been out for weeks' as many times as you like. I don't care. You asked a question. I gave the official answer. Nobody is on their high horse. We all just want this over with as quickly as possible.

You want to come up with a sneering comment, expect to get one back. Try being civil for a change, instead of being permanently angry. Absorb that between your lugholes.

Nothing at all, unless we are talking about a complete lack of puctuation.

That is a joke, of course?

[said]

"Pull over, pull over!"
"Can I see your identification, please sir?"
"I need to ask you where you are going and what is the purpose of your journey. Don't make any sudden moves, take out the papers very slowly, please"
"I see you have travelled to a pharmacist outside of your locality, I must ask you to accompany me to the Police Station, sir."

So, he was isolated, wasn't he? Perhaps it would have made more sense walking to the local shop, passing people in the street - possibly breathing as he did so, and the same on his return - as opposed to shutting himself in a closed environment, meeting no-one and returning the same way. Perhaps I am in some mental fog or something?

I would suggest that this has more to do with an expansion of the 'Climate Change' event, which is being sneaked in undercover of the virus.

Typical crass response

He was flouting the lockdown rules about essential travel only, not only this his wife was in the boot of the car, that in itself is illegal under normal circumstances.

Reasonable excuses include:

• Shopping for basic necessities such as food or medicine
• To take exercise (the guidelines suggest once a day, and in Wales that is the law)
• Seeking medical assistance, or to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm
• Providing care or assistance to a vulnerable person, providing emergency assistance, or donating blood
• Travelling to work or to carry out voluntary services, where it's not possible to do these from home
• Attending the funeral of a member of your household, or a close family member (or in some circumstances, a friend)
• Fulfilling legal obligations, such as attending court, satisfying bail requirements or participating in legal proceedings
• Accessing critical public services including childcare or education, social services, or victim support
• Allowing children of separated parents to move between both households
• Moving house where reasonably necessary

I can't see in the above list picking up eBay purchases or I can't be ars$ed following the rules because I'm bored!

I know I shouldn't ask, but WTAF are you on about?

What secret 'climate change' events are you privy to that the rest of us aren't?

I know the answer is 'none whatsoever', but I'm wondering what the workings of the wannabe Libertarian, climate change denying, 'we hate Greta Thunberg', misogynistic, virus-dismissing little minds have fabricated this time.

[Ceam]

Sounds like they have nothing better to do.

Why, what would be better?

[Alikado]

Why, what would be better?

Catching burglars and drug dealers.

[Ceam]

Catching burglars and drug dealers.

Not many of those around while we are in lock down.

personally think the health of the nation is more important at these very trying times.

If people kept to the very simple requests from the government, They wouldn't need to be enforced.

We are currently 3th highest death rate in the world and 5th highest total deaths to date.

Is that not serious enough?

Good old Degsy even in times as bad as these he can't resist the pedant posts on punctuation.

Good morning Pub! Six or seven days since I posted that. Good to see you're catching up. Puctuation is necessary if the reader is to understand what the writer means. It's as simple (or for you as difficult) as that

Degsy if your going to lecture us on punctuation at least spell it correctly

To err is human, Pub. Or are you the exception that proves the rule? And there should be a comma after the first word in the above quote! If I'm not mistaken there should be one after the word "punctuation" as well. By the way, there is a difference between your and you're, isn't there? Or is that asking too much of you? I have a 10-year old grandchild (Norwegian speaking) who is learning English at school. I asked him to read your sentence and he automatically corrected your to you're. 10 years oldl!!!!!

What on earth are you on about? You asked a question, I gave you an answer, from the government. Not my opinion, just the official guidelines. You get all $h!tty and angry about it with the 'if if if' bull, so I answer you in the same style. You don't like what the government has to say about driving, go tell them about it instead if getting arsey on forums. Click on the link I provided and give them the 'if if if' rant. I don't care. It's got nothing to do with me whatsoever. Don't ask questions if you're going to start throwing your toys out over the answer. 'If if if...'.

Drive your car to the ******* moon and back, it still won't change the official rules, and I still won't give a toss.

Now 'said' is on about 'secret climate change events'. Which don't exist. WTF has that got to do with 'socialism'? What has that got to do with 'we are all equal'? What has ANYTHING I've written on this thread got to do with socialism, politics or any other subject, apart from this lockdown?

Do enlighten me, because I'm missing something here.
