Not condoning the idiots that flout the restrictions but really.....
Blue dye in lakes?
An offence to sell Easter eggs?
Dressing up as a bl**dy dog?
NOT ONE policeman wearing a mask when talking to people....
Even the Metropolitan chief Cressida Dick warns some officers are going too far.
Typical Dailymail article meant to cause outrage amongst the easily led. Here are 3 mad things that have happened - this means the country is going to hell.Quote:

It's not only in the Daily Mail.......and neither is the fact that "being developed is a Coronavirus tracking app using personal data for mass surveillance of Britons is branded 'Orwellian and a complex issue"
The issue is that once these powers are in place they are never rescinded.
Yup, don't track pandemics because ZOMG PRIVACY THEY WILL KNOW THAT I KNOCK ONE OUT TO FAKE DANII MINOGUE PORN...
Even if you were 100% right about everything it would be embarrassing how smug you act on here. Have a look at yourself ffs.Quote:

Apart from every six months.Quote:

It's a bit like a pheasant holding up a card saying 'shoot me' during the hunting season. If they really believed that the people who are attempting to restrict them are doing so behind closed doors, then wouldn't they also be conspiring against this perceived enemy behind closed doors?Quote:

If you are a confirmed case, they will do contact tracing which means they will make you write a list of everywhere you've been since they believe you caught the virus. An app will do this quicker, more efficiently, more reliably and more cheaply. It also means they can contact people who may have been near you at any of these times with an alert.Quote:

oh you trusting soul...and you believe this would end when this crisis finally ends?
What's that got to do with you you continually shitposting on here?Quote:

@tellitlikeitis....uninstalling the app makes no difference to being able to track your movements via mobile phone....even if switched OFF!!
You know that this situation is unprecedented in our lifetimes, right?Quote:

Because someone questions the veracity of what the State tells us it doesn't mean they're conspiracists - I, and others, just don't swallow every morsel of what we're told and accept it without question. Messageboards have been rife with the indignant amongst us ranting at people going out for quiet walks. Today I was Llandaff Fields. Apart from the fact that I saw 3 pairs of coppers on foot which is a rarity itself, they stopped an elderly couple parking their car so they could have a walk and told them to leave. This couple probably lived in a cramped house or flat with no garden. Their actions wouldn't have harmed anyone -even themselves, yet what they did was wrong. Why ? Because the Government told us it was..Quote:

Depends where they had travelled from. If they had travelled from say Bridgend or Swansea then police view is correct - exercise is one thing, long distance travel risks spreading the virus further. It's common sense.Quote:
