These 'laws' introduced to enforce lockdown will remain in place long after COVID-19 has been eradicated . Opportunist legislation . Not the first time 'temporary' emergency measures have been implemented and remained on the statute books .

Anything to help pay for the sterling NHS staff and probably a one-off gratuity post Covid-19 for their effort.

Is mouthwash considered an essential item? I may need some very soon, and cotton buds and bars of soap too. What about hand cream and ice-cream? I too may need some very soon.

Went to buy a Euro-Millions ticket last night and was refused cos they didn't consider it to be 'essential' .
Needed some eggs but shelves were empty so picked up a packet of extra strong mints and they completed the transaction .
If extra strong mints are classed as essential so would mouthwash Cool

Police in Yorkshire threaten journalist for reporting certain religious group for ignoring covid-19 guidelines. It's really disgusting how these uninformed coppers threaten this man for reporting what is a clear breach of every government advice.

I'm currently on a one man crusade, to scupper the "Selby Monday Market" which is confirmed as going ahead, in defiance of every single government instruction!
.
http://selbytowncouncil.gov.uk/c/markets/

Just imagine throngs of idiots, shoulder to shoulder, and standing at stalls, just an arm length fro the traders!

Traders and visitors from far and wide, and more than a good chance of infected people!

I didn't discover this until Friday, so a bit late for wrangling with the council, but I now have our local MP,
and BBC news on the case.

It is, in my view, a criminal move by 'Selby Town Council' and heaven knows of the damage it will do!

I'm just hoping that would be visitors will see sense and not travel, and that the police will enjoy turning people away when the arrive at the car park which, coincidentally, is next to the police station!"

As long as they implement social distancing and only local people attend there's no rule breaking. It's no riskier than a supermarket or warehouses, factories, construction sites, call centres and other workplaces that are allowed to stay open.

Would the market contravene the advice of NHS staff and government ie stay at home? If so, bin it for the time being until further notice. It's just another distraction the public could do without to venture out unnecessarily. There are so many alternatives eg supermarkets/corner shops, etc.

Irresponsible to me, and money before health.

No it sells food like fresh fruit and veg. The more places selling food the safer we are as it reduces crowding in supermarkets and corner shops.

I don't think it applies to this market but the government have already made trade-offs with the economy and health. They could close all non-essential workplaces like some other countries but they haven't, it's hard to justify being allowed to go to factories and warehouses but not parks.

Wouldn’t say that them seemed bored
Probably got told to rd some nut job house

To be honest they could get togather everyday
Pass it among them selfs up to them

People everywhere take no notice

The more one ventures out the more risk one is taking. Not having a market place is risk reduction as no likelihood of the public congregating or present.

Any event (good intention or not) that contravenes the advice of the NHS staff and government ie stay at home is not risk managing.

I must be missing something here!

The list of government 'instructions' is comprehensive and shouldn't be open to interpretation.

Shops, restaurants, cinemas, bowling alleys, my barbers and the entire 'Lake District' out of bounds,
and yet it's ok to have a market!

We are not looking at a wholesome market, in the French, Italian, German style here!
Fruit and veg sellers are thin on the ground, and there is an excellent, full time green grocer, in amongst this!

Selby market is where you go to buy an anorak, underwear, dog and cat baskets, cheap toys etc....
btw I only know such, as often walk past between the car park/Morrisons, and the bank, post office or my dentist etc!

The only things I ever bought there, are enormous prawns, that the fish monger from Grimsby, used to get for me at £25.00 a time.
Unfortunately we fell out, as I forgot one time (I paid him anyway) and was too late (he left early) a second time!

Was surprised to read that the police were getting involved in shopping baskets, crazy imo but defo diff parts of country treating this differently, but the thought of cops going through your shopping is chilling.Think some of the supermarkets we're slow to act, get suitable safe structures in place,basic items should have been made easier to buy, bread and milk,tesco local to me was a disaster,still not got it right, not been in for nearly a month and doubt I will go back, amateur approach, poor staff,no leadership, just a load of waifs and strays and a few kids running around like headless chickens.Tesco were very slow to restrict multi item purchases, just made the panic spread, won't forget them. No doubt shareholders will be in for a nasty shock too, bad company now.

Greater Manchester police have apologised after a man who said he was delivering food to vulnerable family members was arrested and threatened with pepper spray.

In video footage of the incident, which took place in Fallowfield, Manchester, on Friday, the man can be seen refusing to give police his details after being accused of “breaking Covid guidelines”.

“Give me a ticket for what?” the man says to the officer. “You’re a bored guy. There’s groups of people all over the place.”

The footage, which was filmed by a neighbour, shows the officer repeatedly threatening the man with pepper spray, handcuffing him and telling him to lean against a car.

“Put your hands on your head or you’re going to get sprayed,” the officer can be heard saying. “Put your hands behind your back.”

“You just keep saying things over and over,” replies the man. “You’re not helping, you’re not diluting the situation, you’re making it worse. Because I come to drop some stuff off.” He complains that the officer has twisted the handcuffs, causing him pain.

A woman can be heard telling the officer: “In the current situation, in the current pandemic, there’s more pressing situations to be dealing with than coming over and bothering somebody going about his business on his own.” The officer tells her: “Listen ... you’ll be next.”

There has been criticism that some police forces are overreaching their lockdown enforcement powers. The Guardian learned on Thursday that police chiefs wanted the government to consider toughening the restrictions, as the Easter bank holiday weekend approached. On Saturday, the chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Martin Hewitt, said police from 37 forces in England and Wales had issued 1,084 fines for breaches of coronavirus regulations as of Thursday, but the number of arrests was unclear.

Greater Manchester police apologised and said that a senior member of the force was speaking to the man and his family.

“Although the matter is being investigated fully by our professional standards branch, our initial review shows that the incident wasn’t dealt with in the professional way we would expect and we apologise for that,” a spokesperson said.

“The public rightly expect the highest standards from our officers and we will investigate this matter thoroughly and properly. We would ask that the public understand the stresses that our officers are working under at present and we hope this apology will be welcome to those involved.”

It is understood the man was arrested under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act and then de-arrested and issued with a fixed penalty notice.

Quite a rude response from the victim towards the police.

Police responded in a strange way to his response. One of them was not even wearing gloves.

None had a mask on.

Were they all actors?
