Britons should expect the introduction of further emergency laws if the Government's current measures are ignored, the national chairman of the
Police Federation of England and Wales said.
On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said tougher restrictions on
people's movements during the crisis would be enforced by police and
warned those ignoring them would be fined.
Those who flouted the restrictions could face more than fines if they
persisted with their behaviour, John Apter wrote in today's Daily
Telegraph.
"If you don't heed this government's advice, then it is likely further
steps may need to be taken; further laws and emergency legislation could
be introduced to clamp down harder on selfishness in the face of the fight against this virus," he wrote.
The new measures give officers powers to disperse gatherings of more than
two people apart from those who live together.
People can be issued an initial £30 fine and could end up in court if they
do not pay.
### - 'enforced' rules now instead of 'advice'? (riiiight... bye-bye civil liberties!)
jeez that's half-way to full martial law!?
so we're prisoners in our homes now?
current 'advice' being to only go out for necessities/shopping once per
week! the police having powers from friday to stop and question anyone
found outside, any purpose other than the 'allowed' + listed ones risking
a fine and/or even imprisonment for repeat offenders...
well, we're a captive-audience now that's for sure, so what's next i
wonder once they begin to feel that power eh? forced/systematic testing to start maybe?? followed by forced labour when the shortages begin to really
bite in a: no work no food-type scenario?? (i.e. the uk can't itself
produce enough food to feed everyone here so if all borders ever become
closed food will have to be rationed as per + during ww2); the army
patrolling the streets + the shooting of looters??

haha probably/hopefully not ;)
but it's all very sobering all this innit though heh...
so are we all waking up a bit now then? our complacency & familiar
routines completely shot to pieces?
wow suddenly everything's... different!
hello & good morning everyone :)
