    Very wise person.
    Probably has video feed from business as well.
    and why not, he probably has a very good manager in place.
    I know it isnt possible in my line of work unless there is a very good manager
    to put up with a lot of shit.

    Having the lock down has been quite good.
    The people who always have days off during the week because the kid is sick, whatever, can become their problem.

The rules were a total fuck-up anyway. In lockdown you stay the fuck at home. The more you and your family go out ... the bigger the risk you either spread or get it yourself. Or a member of your "Bubble" will/might. The "It wont happen to ME" attitude ... with the "I know my rights" group ... just helps keep us ALL in lockdown longer. I'm still working on full pay so I don't give a toss about your situation. But my family and friends are in lockdown. And in their interest I have the concerns.

    Police have their instruction and interpretation of what is required. If you don't like it ... argue it out in court fter lockdown. The rules were not as clear as they could have been ... but the one rule that should be is (you might have missed it) STAY THE FUCK AT HOME ... !!!
    Yeah.... No.

    You've missed the point spectacularly.

    People have to get out of the house - Could be for shopping, could be for exercise, could be purely for Mental health to take an hour away from young children who are crawling up the walls bored out of their minds and aren't able to comprehend why they can't do any of their usual activities. Furthermore, the Police did affirm afterwards that going outside was okay, so long as you maintain your distance.

    It's entirely possible to go to your own bach, and fully maintain social distancing, following all the requirements laid out by the Police and there isn't an argument you've managed to present that rebuts this point.

    Now, as for the Police and their instructions, given the mixed messages (that you yourself acknowledge) - It's not exactly a wild leap of the imagination to suggest that some of that 'instruction' is at best misinterpreted and at worst, straight up Bullshit.

    I don't disagree that in an emergency new Police powers may be needed, but it is part of our duty as citizens to keep a close eye on what is being asked for, in order to be the balance that the system needs in order for it to work effectively.

    The mental health thing is overrated. Police got that response often and sent them home.

    Your mental health (which is suspect at the best of times) in relation to risking your family's life (which one do you wand dead) is a no brainer ... stay the fuck at home.

    Many parents are getting paranoid about their kids health. One cough and a parent rushes to them ... some kids are playing on it.

    Doesn't matter what the public thinks. The government is making new rules without consultation, getting the police to enforce them and there is fuck all you can do about it.

    Ah yes, because we are world leaders (in the west) in having really low rates of Suicide, DV and Child Abuse...

    Why didn't they refuse to sell it to him in the first place ? Although I guess he may have purchased over multiple trips

    He's eventually going to get through the toilet paper, but 150 litres of hand sanitizer?
    These people are thinking with the reptile part of their brains.

    And I doubt I've used 150 litres of hand cleaner in a lifetime of being a mechanic.
    Maybe he was hoping it would go up in value, like the Shaun Harris Milo incident.

    I was concerned about Marmigedeon 2 when they didn't have any at the super last week but it appeared to be that shop. Personally I hate the shit but, happy wife, and all that.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
