Petition WAG Let Parents Buy Essential Goods

[Heisenberg]

The aim is for people to stay home. If they have to go shopping and can get all the items they need in one place, that should reduce the amount of time they are away from home.

That would make sense if they could buy the same things elsewhere... But they can't. If they want the things that aren't on sale in the supermarket, then they aren't going to be leaving the house... Which is the whole fecking point of it!

How are people still not getting this?!

I'm going to use one of the Tory sound bites and say that this has become "party political".

Oh come on. Do you know what is listed as non essential items? If unsure you'd probably go to the supermarket and have a look.

Stationery it seems is now OK, but does that include birthday cards, and if that's Ok how about sellotape and wrapping paper, or ballpoint pens, or crayons. And if crayons are Ok then can I buy a child's colouring book, or a reading book or a DVD

It's totally confusing, it treats us like kids, and all for a lockdown lasting 17 days.
