Yep.

And have the army support the police if needed.
I have a few friends in the RAF based at Yeovilton, they are on high alert and all leave cancelled awaiting the call to aid any possible civil unrest(!) and helping the emergency services. 2 have been called back from manoeuvres in Norway early.

Shouldn't they be abiding by the Official Secrets Act?

Yeah, the situation isn't helped by a fair number of dysfunctional individuals in high office across the globe.

What would a lockdown mean though? Keyworkers to still go out I suppose. Allowed out for shopping/essentials?

How would it be policed? Could it be policed?

The UK has literally dozens of examples it could look to if it decided it needed to lock down. Continental Europe is looking on, amazed at how relaxed the government continues to be in Britain.

Just drove past North Swindon Asda (essential journey - taking wife, an NHS worker, to work). Cars queuing through Macdonald’s drive through back to the lights on Thamesdown Drive to get that essential last Big Mac before they close at 5pm. Probably 30-40 cars. Glad to see folks still getting their priorities right. Sad Sad Sad

Fuckwits.

And please don’t someone say “it’s ok, it’s Drive through, they are more than 6 feet apart”, cos they are not 6 feet away from staff and it is not essential to have a last Big Mac!

Apparently supermarkets are a bit more normal today, a bit short on long-life food still but plenty of fresh stuff.

With that in mind... anyone interested in a job lot of Imodium? Buyer collects.

Is there?? There was one day where the number of Italian deaths fell, but haven’t seen anything else to suggest that yet?

Yay. More hate-mongering. That's what we need right now.

Should be ashamed of yourself.
