As the crackdown on lockdown ‘violators’ is being amped up by the authorities in the UK, police were criticised for boasting about fining a person who they witnessed eating a kebab in their car, alone.

Avon and Somerset Police tweeted about the incident which occurred over the weekend at Cheddar Gorge, a place of natural beauty in the South West of the country.

The issue, police say, is that the person drove 20 miles from Bristol to eat the kebab.

Police bragged about patrolling the area to punish people they deemed to be breaking lockdown:

Patrols of Cheddar Gorge this evening resulted in multiple vehicles being dispersed and 7 fixed penalty notices being issued for breaching Covid-19 legislation. Travelling from Bristol to Cheddar to sit and eat kebabs in your vehicle is not a reasonable excuse! #staysafe

In a further statement to media, police said that while “patrolling in Cheddar [they] engaged with a number of people who were sitting in parked cars in Cheddar Gorge.”

“Officers took the decision to issue fixed penalty notices to seven individuals whom they determined were not local to the area, were not members of the same household, and did not have a valid reason for their journey under the current COVID-19 regulations,” the statement continued.

“We would ask that people follow the regulations, only travel when it is essential and take exercise locally to their home address, in order to save lives and protect the NHS,” the statement concluded, parroting government rhetoric.

The Police are asking the public to report lockdown violators:

Thanks for your message. We can’t take info or reports via social media. Please use our online form to report breaches of COVID-19 regulations or call 101 if the breach is happening now: https://t.co/mWMUDPuLZt – thank you.

With the COVID-19 risk at an all-time high, we’re asking the public to remain vigilant for signs of unlicensed music events being set up.

We need to know if you suspect an event is being organised so that we can intervene early to prevent it. pic.twitter.com/JJn1Pmw3jR

Backlash toward the police on Twitter was swift:

Meanwhile a few years ago my car was hit and the police weren’t interested. Here’s your log number and that’s it! Reported many drivers without licenses and insurances in the past and you do nothing about them. In fact they’re still driving around with no license 😂

Whoever wrote this – please tell me you stopped for a moment and thought “what the hell am I having to say here” 🙄

At least those living in Somerset now know that if they’re being burgled….just say you’re holding an unlicensed music event. The boys in blue will be round in the blink of an eye.

Just don’t say you’re being burgled.

Any chance of you “intervening early” for ACTUAL CRIME such as robberies stabbings rapes etc or is just people playing loud music that’s wrong this week 🤔

— EddieLowFilthSlayer (@SlayTheFilth) January 8, 2021

If you report the crime before it’s actually happened I’m sure they’d be happy to step in

While some expressed disgust with police, others were eager to snitch:

20-30 by accounts, with crates of beer… Mums wanting to take small children feeling intimidated and appalling language as well. @CheddarPC

This incident followed a number of other cases of police cracking down on people that made headlines over the weekend.

Two women were interrogated and fined by police for going on a walk in a remote area 5 miles from where they lived despite this not being illegal under coronavirus laws. Police told the women that hot drinks they were carrying constituted a “picnic”.

The women, Jessica Allen and Eliza Moore, told reporters that the police appeared ‘desperate to fine them’:

The women explained that they reasoned the remote place they chose to walk “would keep us safer, and it would be safer for everyone else as well.”

The pair said that “The officers approached us as we parked, we parked two spaces away from each other to ensure we really were complying with social distancing, and the officers soon started walking towards our vehicles.”

“They were looking to find information that they could justify that we had broken the rules,” they explained.

Elsewhere, video emerged of policing arresting people who were walking, sitting on benches and drinking coffee outside.

After the footage went viral, police claimed that the whole thing was staged by ‘anti-lockdown protesters’:

Some people have suggested there was an anti-lockdown protest taking place. Daily Mirror says here: "There is no suggestion that any of the people confronted by police were taking part in a protest." Happy to be told otherwise if anyone has further info. https://t.co/gQNWf2DX33

This is what the police have sunk to – blaming their victims for their unlawful arrests… Disgraceful. https://t.co/yGbcUyTVbw pic.twitter.com/nuGGOcOafF

Video also emerged of police officers themselves sitting down in a cafe drinking coffee, with the person filming them questioning why they were not following the rules:

The lockdown police know it’s all bullishit. The rules, the masks, the tickets. But they’re exempt, so they’re fine with it. It’s probably fun for some of them, the ones who became police for the thrill of wielding power. pic.twitter.com/2z4YpAAZxz

In a separate incident, a couple with a baby and a pushchair were grilled by COVID police in Birmingham city centre merely for walking on the street. The report noted that the Police Community Support Officers then began quizzing people who had arrived at a pharmacy to pick up prescription drugs.

Meanwhile, in Scotland, a family was arrested after police entered their home acting on a tip off from a neighbor that there were “too many people inside.”

This is what your taxes and capitulating to the government get you.

One local police force even angrily tweeted about “2 reports of snowballs being thrown” in violation of coronavirus lockdown rules.

Another police force threatened people with fines for planning to go sledging in a remote area of North Yorkshire.

Last week, we reported on the announcement by police of the adoption of a new ‘hardline’ lockdown policy to stop and question people if they are out in the street, and to issue on the spot fines if they cannot provide a reasonable excuse for being out of their houses.

Police also said they would specifically target ‘anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine protesters’, saying that “we now have a hardcore element who are against the rules.”

Police are also demanding new powers to force entry into the homes of suspected lockdown violators.

As we reported earlier, the government has reportedly discussed upping COVID restrictions even further by only allowing people to leave their homes once per week, and banning talking to friends in the street or supermarket.

Supermarkets themselves are reportedly set to be patrolled by police and inspected amid claims that they are not enforcing social distancing rules effectively enough. Some may face fines for ‘bending the rules’, according to reports.

The government has been criticised for implementing a third lockdown, wherein everyone is restricted to gathering in parks and going to the supermarket only.

Critics say it forces people into the same spaces, rather than allowing people to spread out naturally.

It is clear that the public is growing sick and tired of lockdown restrictions, and that police are implementing a more heavy handed approach in order to enforce government Covid decrees.

Reports emerged at the weekend that restrictions were due to stay in place until at least March 23, yet the government has not given any official timeline for how long the lockdown will last, or any indications of when restrictions will be tightened or relieved.

Meanwhile, in Wuhan…

CNN host Don Lemon declared Monday that leftists should stop pandering to people who claim that supporters of President Trump should be afforded respect, because they all “believe bullshit.”

Lemon was discussing the intentions of some GOP lawmakers to object to the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden as President elect.

“We have millions and millions of voters who believe this election was illegitimate and it was stolen. Why do they believe that? Because you have been telling them that,” Lemon ranted.

“Of course, they’re going to believe it. If you would stop telling them that and start telling them the truth, then maybe they would believe the truth, that the election was not stolen and it was a clean election according to everyone who has investigated, most of them Republicans,” he continued.

“So stop saying that we must respect Trump supporters who believe bullshit because it is bullshit that you have been feeding them,” the host further frothed.

“The president and you have been feeding them the BS, and now that they believe it, all of a sudden, again, another self-fulfilling prophecy and feedback loop,” Lemon raged.

Watch:

Don Lemon has had it with the Republicans “BULLSHIT!”

Cuomos sorry ass had to follow up Dons epic rant with “Democrats gotta get stepped on too” both sides BS. He’s awful pic.twitter.com/H4Fb6QQubK

Don Lemon just said bullshit. I’m shocked. (jk) 😬 pic.twitter.com/wIuemQsG2c

Of course, it’s no surprise that Lemon projectile vomited this bile, it’s what he does on a nightly basis. He recently labelled Trump supporters drug addicts, and over-privileged tax avoiders.

Recently retired doctors are being prevented from helping administer COVID-19 vaccines because the NHS requires them to have “diversity training” and knowledge of “radicalisation.”

Yes, really.

40,000 doctors and nurses applied to return to the NHS back in March at the start of the pandemic but only 5,000 had been given jobs by July, according to a report in the Telegraph.

Similar bureaucracy is also hampering the vaccine rollout, with doctors having to fulfil the requirements of the Equality Act.

Dear NHS
The Red Tape faced by retired docs who want to help the vaccination roll out. 20 pieces of evidence most of us simply don't have. REALLY???
If this is a war, use your Dads Army and cut us some slack.

This means that when they wade into the minefield that is the application process for helping to administer the vaccine, they have to provide 20 pieces of evidence, including documents on Equality, Diversity and Human Rights, Fire Safety, Conflict Resolution, and Preventing Radicalisation.

“Reached this page on my application and have given up for now. Can’t see many retired clinicians wading through this lot – or having all required docs,” said Professor Maureen Baker.

“Yes I’m going through this today….now on my 7th hour of CPD! Not even at ‘pre-employment screening’ yet. Suspect many will have given up by now,” commented Professor Nicola Thomas.

The NHS responded by saying it was necessary “in order to recruit a wide array of individuals from a variety of backgrounds.”

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate the time taken to join the National Vac Programme. We have a stringent recruitment process in place in order to recruit a wide array of individuals from a variety of backgrounds – many of whom are not registered healthcare professionals 1/2

— NHS Professionals (@NHSPbank) December 31, 2020

In other words, meeting diversity quotas is more important than getting as many doctors as possible to help speed up the vaccine rollout.

Ludicrous.
