Yes to a degree, but deterrence would still have an effect using even a very small number of patrol cars for the task if they get any exposure in the press.
If the likes of the Daily Mail start printing outraged stories about motorists stopped, questioned and fined by the police because were ten miles away from their home on a supposedly grocery shopping trip when there were plenty supermarkets they could have gone to within a mile of their residence, undoubtedly some people would think twice about making unnecessary trips and trying to pass them off as essential journeys.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Am so fucking angry right now, just had a client call asking if he and his two kids can leave the U.K. tonight (no, all flights have gone). They are due to fly to the U.S. tomorrow and are waiting on their PCR results later tonight, two of them have had it recently and failed the test last week. He asked where can one go with no test, I said Mexico is the only place I know that doesn’t require a test. And this man replies,
“OK, if one of us tests positive we’ll go to Cancun instead.”
Knowing that one person is positive he thinks it’s fine to take a 10 hour flight.
Bending rules is one thing, but fuck me, what a cunt.

Im sure he was a terrible health secretary presiding over a terrible agenda.
I have to confess that I think he has found some use as chair of the health and social care select committee. He has occasionally made the right noises with slightly better timing than the government, and I think the time before the first lockdown where he appeared on telly looking like had seen a ghost (including the ghost of policies he oversaw) and wanted to cry was a useful warning indicator for some people.
So there we go, not exactly gushing praise, but I am prepared to acknowledge that he found some use as a fucking beacon.

When the world came apart, where were you?
Did you tell him he was a cunt and refuse to do business with him?

How new chancellor Jeremy Hunt ruined the NHS
As the former health secretary is appointed to the Exchequer, his ministerial past puts paid to his ‘sensible’ image

wasn't he the cunt who presided over the performance of the NHS being no longer the responsibility of the minister? May have been some other cunt mind.

in the first lockdown, i did get stopped on a main road in berkshire, when i was driving to work, they took my word for it that i was a key worker and i didn't have to show letter from my employer confirming this.

Why can’t they help themselves comparing themselves favourably with other countries? It’s not always a competition ffs

So what is actually different about this versus Tier 4, besides the schools closing? The list of business allowed to be open and the rules about what you can do look exactly the same to me.

He was in that role for a long time, I'm sure the list of crimes is long.

They have been doing this in places (and with businesses trading illegally as well) for a while - where I grew up they've actually closed the roads leading to popular local walking spots and doing checks on vehicles from England crossing the border. Its not comprehensive though, and it needs to be to be effective.

I told him that what he was proposing is highly illegal in quite a harsh tone, as I said, bending rules (you can only travel for work, he’s taking kids to the US) is one thing, but he sensed my incredulity at his suggestion.

Schools being closed removes free childcare so more people will have to wfh.

He inherited that job from his aunt. Inherited his seat from her too. The mother of parliamentary democracy.

tell him he'd probably score high on a psychopathy test. seriously.
i'm sick of these pro death cunts.
Welsh rules (introduced 20th December) appear unchanged (specifically in terms of going to work I mean).BBC said:
The schools rules have changed here, but nothing else that I saw.
Having heard a big phat zero from my (Civil Service) workplace about any changes, I'll continue to assume that I'll be returning to work 'as normal' tomorow -- as I posted a while back, myself and most others on our section are unable to work from home.
I appreciate that the schools question is very important, and I've supported all the sensible Urban comments, plus justified rants, about that.
But the going to work or not question more generally should also still be more of a thing IMO.
Mid March 2020 to early August lockdown : I/many others were not at work.
Early January 2021 to whenever lockdown : I/many others still will be at work.
Luckily I do work in one of the safer office workplaces.
But the inconsistencies between last year's and this year's lockdowns are outrageous

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Apparently they don't want people buying booze from pub doorways and then congregating in the local park which is fair enough, I don't know if it covers alcohol ordered online for delivery from supermarkets or the like of Tax Dodgers Inc, I hope not I have a feeling I am going to need a drink over the next few weeks.

Sussex police were doing that during the first lockdown, I got pulled over coming back from a care visit to mother, they were fine with that.
Random road checks were done on vehicles coming from the north into the town, people from outside the county were forced to turn around & fuck off, or get a fine.

We live in very strange times, when the likes of Hunt & Cummings appear to be heroes compared to the clown & the rest of the circus acts.

as i tend to work slightly later than standard office hours to avoid the peaks, traffic was pretty light - not sure if they were stopping everyone, or random, or whether the fact that my car has a Shrewsbury registration number may have influenced them
Does no one read posts.
