How can click and collect handbags even be legal if you can only leave your house for essential shopping or exercise?
Shopping at any business that's open is an acceptable reason to leave the house. In fact it's the number one reason to leave the house.. The regulations don't use the word "essential" or anything similar.
The people driving 100 miles to visit McDonalds aren't actually breaking the law as far as I can tell. In fact a quick check of the various news stories about such people shows every one is committing other offences i.e. having mates in the car, no insurance, etc.

This shit makes me so cross. All the talk about getting kids back in school being the number one priority and fining people for going for a walk in the country and yet the data points to transmission being driven by less than essential work, or work that could be done from home.
I'm just still baffled by the government's insistence on not getting to grips with a proper lockdown. How can click and collect handbags even be legal if you can only leave your house for essential shopping or exercise?
Why are the cops not hanging about outside these shops instead of countryside car parks?
I understand the government are totally useless, but I'm disappointed the police seem to be determined to grab the most ineffectual end of the stick too.
