Absolutely ridiculous!

Have our political leaders been taken over by an alian force? fmwales BorisJohnson NicolaSturgeon DUPleader WhyAreTheyDoingThis?

Whoever MAKES THESE RULES NEEDS TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK IN THE 'MIRROR'A SAY TO THEMSELVES I AM VERY SAD AND UNHAPPY HUMAN WHO DOESN'T ENJOY LIFE! AND LOVES TO INFLICT MISERY ON OTHERS !! SCROOGE !!!

This world has gone utter mad !

Why are the once proud people of Wales meekly cowering down to this utter stupidity. What scientific evidence is there that confirms buying a kettle will cause infections to rise.

anthonyfroberts It all seems to come from a deep Marxist conviction that if high street retail is shutdown by the state then there must be no freedom for supermarkets to sell the same stuff. Bollocks to the people’s needs, in Taff Labour land all must suffer & the state must prevail.

You managed to write an article without mentioning Meghan Markle. Looks like therapy is working. Let’s talk about compassion next session.

boblister_poole Thats what happens when you blindly vote the way your parents and grandparents have. Perhaps this generation will see what a socialist is capable of.

What about their mental health, is that non essential too?!!

CrunchyDoughnu1 I suppose kids in Wales must go around in their birthday suits.

How do the Welsh people feel about all this madness. Do they feel that the elected officials are looking after their interests.

Big Brother here in Wales-WelshLabour manipulated NHs Covid app to flash red & tell everyone, even those in very low risk Ceredigion & Pembrokeshire that they are in high risk area to scare people into abiding by their lock down dictate. Abuse of power - now most deleted app

You cannot spin this other than authoritarian control. Are we going to accept this new world or not?

Accurate. 👇🏻

boblister_poole This is now looking sinister . This is not helping to defeat the virus at all . Something is dreadfully wrong

This is absolutely shocking

That’s going cost the supermarkets millions in lost revenue from Halloween....well done UKLabour ! Who will pay to keep them open ?

Didn’t realise we suddenly lived in a dictatorship

This quite simply had got to stop .

Short sighted twats , so many things classed as non essential , so all those mfrs of children’s toys , clothes etc they don’t matter , so when they close and the employees claim benefits because they’ve no job ..that makes sense does it . DICTATORSHIP that’s what this is .

The Left are the true fascists. The truth is In front of our eyes..

Heavy handed and ridiculously oppressive!

The firebreak is 17 days long! 17 DAYS! How will I survive without buying a new pillow? 😭

suecresswell01 Pathetic this is now

How much is Amazon paying the Welsh government for this 'health policy'?

Disgusting no need to be so damn right evil towards people

I bet you can still get them delivered from Amazon. Not concerned about the saftey of the workers at their local Amazon fulfilment centre, as long as it looks on the face of it like they are doing something.

Making sure your child has clothes is not essential!!

Absolute disgrace why are these inhumane rules being enforced not only have they had there freedoms removed they can't even buy things they may need. What's taping this stuff up got to do with covid 19 or danger to health NOTHING! UK has gone mad.

Utterly utterly ridiculous. Communist governments could have done this, Welsh voters. Get rid of this lot.

So you can't buy a new coat for a child, can buy a bottle of vodka?

Why are retailers listening to him, what has non essential items got to do with the virus, no logic to this rule.

If you can only get essentials, you won't go out to the shop for other stuff. Less visits to store, less time spent browsing in store, less social interaction. Isn't that a more plausible reason for this, if indeed there is one?

I guess if you have a baby, then he or she doesn't need toys to be developing properly and doesn't need clothes to stay warm. Nice. Well done

BarbuUn Luxury communism in action.

Looks like devolution is risking peoples lives to make their own gains

Gbushuk65Bush Drakeford is not only making a laughing stock of himself, but making Wales one too. Welcome to Labour's Wales - where only the sheep are FREE

This is getting absolutely ridiculous bow... dnt get me wrong im a for a lockdown but childrens stuff clothes shoes etc are an absolute essential xx
