Nothing wrong with people reporting a large party at a neighbouring home, say.

They’re endangering themselves and others not even in attendance.

You’ve called out eejits like that yourself on here.

There is a big difference between a gathering and people out legally self distancing in isolation.

Do you realise... legally you are allowed out for reasonable reasons, which includes exercise... There is no legal limit to how many times a day.

Once a day is advice, not law. The police have no power whatsoever to fine people for exercising in isolation however many times a day.

The police are setting up roadblocks... There is no legal basis for this intrusion. A government minister even said drivers will not be pulled over.

Police are fining people for buying what the police consider non-essential items... Again they have no legal basis to do so.

It will all lead to civil unrest.

So, to be clear, you do agree it would be reasonable, in fact advisable, for people to report a large social gathering at a neighbouring home to the police?

The excercising thing is different of course. But don’t be going out ten times a day when you’d normally only be out once or twice just so you can cock a snook at the polis.
