Local lockdown

Just had a quick look. Northumbria police have approx 3000 police officers to police the Northumbria police region.

That'll be from Berwick to Ryhope then?

@Hongkongphooey is going to have a sore neck mind, policing the blinds in his street looking for grandparents to grass up.

When they don’t turn up for house burglaries it’s impossible they will turn up to slap little old Doris with a fine
If he can tear himself away from playing fortnite in his box room.

Can be a PC, a PCSO or an officer appointed by the Council. So not just NP or DP.

Hobbie bobbies can issue fines? I’d say a lot won’t be paid then. As I said this will have the right wing press in uproar

I genuinely believe that most (not all mind) would just turn a blind eye.

So the virus will once again spread to the at risk category and people will die. It is probably inevitable anyway so I think these restrictions are a bit pointless.

It is an absolute disgrace.

They want punters to avoid pubs but wont tell them to shut. I dont think I will be taking the advice. I'm happy to meet people for a quiet beer. Do my bit for landlords.

Who wants people to avoid pubs?

County Durham population is about 600000. Durham police have 874 officers and 159 PSCO's. I don't know how many appointed jobsworths the council will have but I can't imagine it will be many to cover such a vast area.

Totally unenforceable.

The top wife was on the news earlier saying that council's will be the first line of enforcement, then police if the council need them. Nothing will get enforced imo.

We are policed and governed by consent. If there is mass civil disobedience there is nothing the authorities can do. I will abide by the rules and have taken the advice on board.

You want people locked inside but want people out at work without childcare.

If you see rules being broken you should report it. Not doing so is irresponsible.

Where have i said that, I'll wait while your trawl through the boards

Well said

Exactly. What is the alternative?

They isn’t. My oldest is year 1. Wrap around childcare has been removed by the school.

Managed to get a childminder three days a week and my missus is able to go in a little late and leave early two days due to her timetable at work.

The Councils just don’t have the staff to enforce it.

Must say I haven't seen you say that. I've seen you say people have options, even if it's far from ideal. I'm in that boat like. Coped before, will have to again.

If they’re not paid then they’re liable to be prosecuted.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

I am reconciled to the fact people will break the rules. I'm not really bothered. I might if they are really risking the piss but otherwise I wont.

Why would I trawl through your posts? You don’t want people using grandparents for childcare as it’s breaking the rules
