I am confused is that supposed to be funny? Or are you highlighting her stupidity?
Neither
What real people in the firing line are feeling
No. Thats what Rhiannon is feeling, and it's mainly about her own politics. Comparing UK, a country of 65 mill living extremely close to a continent of 600 mill and Heathrow airport, to a country of 5 mill, living extremely close to fuck all with Auckland airport is fucking stupid.
I know a few in the NHS, not all of them agree with her.
EDIT. Apologies, that was over the top. Bullshit like this triggers me.

Speaking with an ICU nurse mate last night and he said the current Covid-19 test is only 70% accurate.
This has been reported properly by the UK media. The UK's COVID-19 test isn't 100% reliable.

Hard to know if this is meme or overall
It's factual after a fashion to overall it is
Even the birds stopped chirping where I live

A lawyer trying to drum up business.

@MiketheSnow It was highlighted some days ago by Hancock at one of his addresses when quizzed about "Doing more testing". He stated that it was not that simple if you wanted the testing to be worthwhile and that one of the tests that had been championed had been found (admittedly a small sample size) to be wrong in 3 out of 4 cases.
The inference being that testing masses of people might look good on the daily stats but is a waste of resources and a danger to the populace if it is inaccurate. I find that logic hard to argue with.

Most of Twitter is utter shite but sometimes there some real gems.
This after Piers Morgan demanded to know who's in charge while Boris is off ill.

Those Richmond ladies are known to be stroppy!
I'm in two minds over the whole mess. Can you be pissed off at both the lady and the police simultaneously? I think the mental exercise argument is a fair one, if you don't have a yard and live in an apartment box in the city just stepping away to a park for a bit can do you the same world of good as a bit of a jog and being arrested for it if you've maintained social distancing is appalling..on the same note the young copper is just trying to follow what are probably not very well thought out orders and he is doing his very best not to arrest her.
Just hope this insanity stops soon. Its ugly from all sides.

A few days ago, the Police started stopping & searching cars and shopping near the Sth Northants village I used to live in. explaining they were "checking the spirit of the lockdown was being adhered to" They even demanded to see shopping reciepts.
Bearing in mind Plod had to be pushed to investigate a series of burglaries late last year, to say this has gone down badly with locals is an understatement.
Can understand Plod had some initial issues policing the lockdown, but the Police leadership need to get a grip on this sort of thing as it's doing some real damage to their reputation.

Probably both.
The "clapping for a nurses pay cap" is bollocks. And BoJo wasn't even an MP when the 1% cap on public sector salaries was imposed after the banking crisis.

Priti Patel publically slapped down Northants Chief Constable on this sort of behavior late today. "Not appropriate, not in the guidelines and not legal"

It's pretty bloody difficult policing this shit because it is very much a 'damned if you do and damned of you don't' type scenario - a bit like enforcing school parking restrictions at drop off and pick up.
We are getting jobs where people are dobbing in people for sitting in parks, sitting out the front of their houses talking to neighbours, swimming at the local swimming hole, having too many cars parked outside their address, and we are copping people whinging that we aren't doing enough.
Then, when we attempt to enforce the restrictions we are abused for acting like a police state and Nazis.
Don't ring your cop shop for advice about what you can and can't do. We know just as much as the rest of you and you may end up with a cop who guesses the answer to your question and gives you the wrong advice. Also, I don't want to hear you babble on about why you think you should be allowed to tow your boat up to the Sunshine Coast and park it at your holiday home because my coffee is getting cold and I hate cold coffee. Look up the answer yourself.

I can't see why it's any more difficult that other policing. Keep the public on your side, use common sense and enforce the law in a responsible way.
Some of the antics on display by police forces have been pretty appalling and could cause some real damage to relations with the public.

Sorry, but searching shopping and deciding what Joe Public is or isn't allowed to buy, and threatening them with fines and a criminal record if they bought the wrong thing is acting like a police state and Nazis.
That a Chief Constable came up with this idea raises serious questions about the leadership of the UK Police
