could be, but won't be

How can they fine you if you've lost your job to the virus?

Meanwhile, live from Greece, via Bulgaria FFS

Unless you want to drive to Durham right?

But will they be able to read the leaflet?

great, so how much will Stanley Johnson be fined then. oneruleforthem

Just how thick are you lot at the Cardigan?

Ultra vires

Absolutely absurd. There was no good justification as to why Leicester could not be treated like anywhere else in England.

Good, this should have been in place nationally from day 1 of the lockdown. Some idiots need heavy punishments to be deterred from breaking the law.

So now the 'rules' are finally, actually being called laws, with massive fines as consequence of breaking them - and by breaking them I think we're talking exercising your right as a supposedly free citizen. There is a crime unfolding here, and it's not breaking the 'lockdown'.

Behave. This government is a fucking joke.

New Leicester lockdown laws come into forceNew Leicester lockdown laws come into force that let police fine up to £3,200 for repeatedly flouting restrictions Ultra Vires under the 1984 Health Act. The government cannot force you to quarantine or take any medication against your will. Do what you want, take the fine. Turn up at magistrates and claim Ultra Vires and watch the beak go white. Have to refer to crown court. Well someone's gotta pay for the economic losses in the city. Yeah they should probably have done it sooner as people from Leicester have been popping out to towns outside of Leicester to go shopping today. So it's all been rather pointless.
