    Which is a very fair point - however, public trust/buy-in was considerably greater in February/March time than it is now. Of course, the NHS would have had to carry on and some sort of arrangements would have had to have been made in relation to food - and if the forces were needed to enforce it, then perhaps that is what should have been done. Ultimately, we allowed folks to jet off to Italy for their half-term skiing holidays, allowed them to go to the likes of Cheltenham Festival and then the government has squandered absolutely billions by giving contracts to their pals and all the while lying to us at almost every corner. Those lies are one of the main reasons that folks have stopped listening (coupled with some of the daft application of the restrictions that have been put in)

      The Magna Carta 1215 poster has been promoted by various anti vax and conspiracy sites.It claims very incorrectly that they have a right to trade enshrined in this charter. This is incorrect and nothing more than fake news promoted on FB and YouTube. A hairdresser in Bradford has now been fined £17000, others are also facing hefty fines. I wonder if the conspiracy sites promoting this garbage will help them pay the fines?

        In this area a few schools have closed, soon to be in lockdown 3. Sadly you see groups of children roaming the streets, when perhaps they should be self-isolating.

        The Police are under pressure, so lets bring in the troops with more powers.

        Sounds like America, Hong Kong, China, or a Banana State. We haven't put Troops on the Streets to enforce Government restrictions in Centuries:dunno: You would then get Protest Marches on the Streets and the resulting clash would result in injury and death.
        Going out for vital supplies and being stopped and questioned by Military is not the UK I would recognise, which shows you of hard it is to get, maintain, and keep Democracy and Freedom and how easy it is to lose it.

            Strange happenings around here.
            Beginning of the week they took over the carpark to the playing field.
            Big NHS sign and half a dozen large mobile cabins.

            Just walked by and there are signs saying no cameras, so can't take any pictures in the area :scratch:

                    The Covid testing sites being prepared for university students are signposted so it can't be that.

                    My guess is they are going to round up all the rule breakers and covid deniers ...

                      My assumption would be that it’s going to be a test centre. Maybe the no camera thing is to respect people’s privacy? :noidea:
