Why are the media constantly banging on about an "exit strategy"? And speculating aout lifting restrictions? From what I can see, far too many people are not getting the message as it is. FFS! How irresponsible can you get? The media are doing as much damage as the virus. Dumb barstards! ScaredAngry

Johnson nailed it when he feared lockdown too early would be hard to maintain and wanted to delay as long as possible.

Britain could be just days away from a 'stop-and-search' regime after police threatened to rummage through shopping trolleys looking for 'non-essential' items and introduce road blocks as people continue to flout the coronavirus regulations.

Police chiefs are calling for laws to ban Britons from driving long distances and flouting rules to exercise more than once a day ahead of a 77F (25C) Easter weekend. And Northamptonshire Police said the 'three-week grace period is over' and threatened that they may even soon start 'checking the items in baskets and trolleys'.

Its Chief Constable Nick Adderley said: 'We will not at this stage be starting to martial supermarkets and checking the items in baskets and trolleys to see whether it's a legitimate and necessary item. But again, be under no illusion, if people do not heed the warnings, and the pleas that I'm making today, we will start to do that.'

And he revealed: 'If things don't improve, and we don't get the compliance we would expect, then the next stage will be road blocks and it will be stopping people to ask why they are going, where they're going.'

well done des

you have to laugh a bit and take the mickey etc  otherwise we might all die of too much seriousness and a strange infatuation with death figure leagues  around the world.  the topics seem strangely obsessed.

having said that we have people striding along the river dogs and children  out the back of my house yards from my  back gate 

call me a hypochondriac  but I just don't fancy dying just yet  should I get a loud hailer and tell them to fk off like they do in cornwall  ?? ho ho ho

Other than that supermarket part i think the police attitude has been quite good,mostly low key warnings,the road blocks is in force in Ireland and a necessity imo,you would end up with packed beaches parks
You are not allowed to go to a second home in Ireland either atm.

It seems a positive and cautiously optimistic briefing to now.

If i go to fetch essentials from supermarket, it would be folly not to buy other stuff while I'm there.

The rationale is that you should be in the supermarket for as short a time as possible.

Won't work Nick, not for me as I'm 'at risk'
If i go out I'm doing one trip getting all my stuff. Fewer trips imo means safety
If the coppers want only essentials bought then they had better marshall the supermarkets and tell them to just leave essentials on the shelves.
By:

I don't understand what you mean when you say it won't work for you because you're at risk.

I agree entirely that fewer trips is better but I also agree that getting in and out of the store as quickly as possible is important.

In any case, it's a bit vague because what is an essential?  Milk, bread etc yes.  What about ham, biscuits, magazines?

Also, if you are at risk, why don't you get your groceries delivered?

Stay well.

If they can't buy the stuff, they need to get the stuff off of the shelf so you can't buy them.

As long as you have essentials in your basket I see no harm in adding what might be considered as a few non essentials.

I'd shift the coppers away from the stores and get them to the parks and beaches where there are people openly flouting the rules.

Yes, I agree with you duffy and I think some supermarkets have done this.
