Some idiot who lives on Cog Lane - 22 or 23 year old - has just got a 1 year prison sentence for repeatedly spitting at the police and telling them he had the virus.
And those police are having to deal with this without any PPE....you are right though in a lot of other countries he would have got the living sh-it kicked out of him and then prison for longer.
This is becoming a daily occurrence. For once, I am heartened by the custodial sentences being dished out.
We just don’t have the numbers to enforce the lockdown effectively at the moment. Especially now we’re getting slammed with domestics and mental health calls.
There are groups everywhere, certainly in my part of London, and there isn’t the resources to disperse them. Two of us were surrounded by about 8-10 gang members the other day, so i had to withdraw before I got my head kicked in.
The legislation has been rushed through, which I accept is indicative of the circumstances we are in, but there are loopholes and interpretations which make it weak, and in practical terms, difficult to enforce. It’ll be enforced to some degree and hopefully it’s enough!
We still don’t have any PPE, but I accept there are challenges in getting it, and I’d much prefer it go to frontline NHS staff first.
Hope everyone is doing ok in the lockdown. Stay safe.
