Hallelujah! Common sense has finally prevailed at Derbyshire Police as they cancel the £200 fine issued to walkers Jessica Allen and Eliza Moore. Not only that but they also rightly received an apology. Although this is a good example of common sense prevailing, I wouldn’t get too used to it as I’m sure the police will continue to clutch at straws in order to issue unnecessary fines such as in this case. However as proven, with enough public backlash they will eventually back down and see reason.

This is actually great to see. I’m fairly sure in any case even if the police hadn’t cancelled the fine they most likely could have taken it to court and had it thrown out anyway, as it was ridiculous to be even imposed in the first place. Despite what people with a conformist attitude may think; travelling for exercise is NOT against the law and does not contravene the rules. Public 1 – 0 Derbyshire Police.

This Saturday it was announced by so called “experts” that the current coronavirus lockdown which was brought in one week ago, was not tough enough, and they may have to make restrictions even tougher than what they currently are. To sum it up, they introduced a new lockdown and then gave it no more than five days before deciding it wasn’t strict enough. This is absolute absurdity. The current lockdown hasn’t even been given a chance to work. Do these “experts” really think that they can just implement a lockdown and they will achieve results overnight and the infection rate will just suddenly drop? It is well known that it takes at least month before the lockdown effects start to be seen, but of course government ministers and the SAGE scientists are too impatient to wait that long. 

Already they are discussing tighter restrictions. We are already in a national lockdown. How much stricter can things get? A dome over towns and cities like in The Simpsons Movie? A seatbelt to barricade us to our sofas with a bucket to piss in, just in case we leave traces of Covid-19 on the toilet handle?

Shame on Derbyshire Police. This joke of a police force has just made headlines after they felt it was necessary to fine two women £200 each for the heinous crime of going for a walk in a local park. The clowns also accused the pair of going for a picnic, the reason? They had two peppermint teas in their possession. Is this really what it has come to? The police fining people for taking LEGAL exercise. Clearly there’s no crime in Derbyshire since the police supposedly have loads of time on their hands. Not to mention during the first lockdown they saw fit to pour black dye into a reservoir near Buxton to discourage visitors!

Obviously Derbyshire Police could care less about actual crimes going on in the local area. Burglaries, murders, paedophiles, rapists; that’s all irrelevant because that would require the lazy Derbyshire Constabulary to actually do some real police work. No, it’s far easier to hand out a few fines and pour dye into a local reservoir.

Maybe these clowns should go and actually do their jobs and catch some real criminals rather than targeting members of the public just trying to go about their day. For the record, there’s no legislation whatsoever that says people can’t travel for exercise. The way the police have behaved during this pandemic is nothing short of disgusting and despicable. Just yesterday, a video surfaced of Met Police manhandling a 92 year old man. I found the video sickening to watch. Unfortunately, I feel we are only going to see more incidents like this in the future. It’s truly a sad day for humanity.
