Banning Easter eggs a step too far

[VivienScott]

I’ve just read that some officials are cracking down on shops selling Easter eggs as it’s non-essential. Isn’t this all going a bit far now? Easter eggs aren’t essential but a chocolate bar is? Feels like some people are letting a minuscule bit of power go straight to their heads.

And where did I call you a numpty? Oh wait I didn't! And the reason I referred to tabloid papers is because pp' s have posted links to dm and the sun. You are too quick to take offence.

Camembert? Such decadence. Did the shop not have mousetrap?

Enjoy chilli.

The humorless, joyless social policers wont be any happier whatever you do.

This crisis has brought them all out, it's rather breathtaking to behold

I can't listen to this anymore! Some mnetters are so obstinate and woefully ignorant.

Obstinate?

You really must stop taking the piss, fellow "mnetters", there could be nothing worse in the current situation than people having fun for a while. It's your civic duty to be quiet and miserable.

Ffs I have bought hair dye, had a bubble bath and a laugh today.

I am hanging my head in shame. 😔

'Woefully ignorant' of what?

History of where police have exceeded their powers in times of crisis? Of the fragility of our freedoms?

No, I'm not. I should know more than I do, but I bet I am far less 'woefully ignorant' than many of the social scolders on here.

Just had inspiration to reread Naomi Klein's ' The Shock Doctrine'

Not sure what you're allowed to have, Smile. Apparently any copper who you run into is allowed to decide for you, and that's fine, despite the govt guidelines not actually saying "you may purchase and consume the foodstuffs absolutely necessary to sustain life but nothing that brings pleasure".

Why do we not have a chocolate smiley?

If i want to add an easter egg or indeed a pack of chocolate biscuits or crisps to my shopping when i go to the shops then i will. Ive been to the shops twice since all the measures came in and for the most they are working eg social distancing but this latest "rule" is ridiculous

Oh no, have we been admonished for a bit of levity now? I’ll just go and lock myself in the cupboard under the stairs and rock myself while I weep.

Please don’t! Buy an Easter egg instead.

But I’ll get arrested and locked up for ever!

As far as I'm aware people do not generally punch the people they live with on Easter egg fueled binge You haven't met my grandsons have you, they would fight to the death for the last bit of chocolate if no one intervened. They have inherited their chocolate addiction from me so I do understand.

I've just had a lovely soak in the bath but unfortunately no bubbles just an old fashioned bar of soap. Now I am going to have a cup of tea and a big slice of cheesecake which probably isn't essential in somebody's opinion but just now it feels very essential to me.

I bought lots of Easter eggs when I went for my weekly shop. My DD is scared enough about corona, you want the Easter bunny to let her down too?! No way sorry. It's not going out of your way eh egg n you are doing your weekly shop

I wonder if Fuck Tha Police will reach #1 in the charts soon?

DH bought me a mars bar & 12 creme eggs (As part of an essential shop of course). How long until he’s Facebook shamed?

Aah thank you 1forsorrow🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓💐 Happy Easter.

I ‘ll get over it. I don’t usually get one but I can’t see my sons and DD and Her DP are stranded in NZ. I took the chance to order one as I have a cows milk allergy.

Lots of children will be so disappointed if Easter Bunny can’t hop about 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇it will have to be 🥚🐓and apparently not many of those about. We live in the country so have no problem I have a hen and waiting to buy more. One of the farmers told me today that some people are nicking hens.

Our local force are out in droves operating roadblocks telling people they can't buy lightbulbs. They're posting this themselves on social media to pat themselves on the back for a job well done. Oh and a photo of three of them confiscating someone's bike.

I'd rather be arrested than let any of that shower look in my bag for life.

Where’s that woof?
Shameful behaviour from the police.

Woof that's dreadful. And exactly the sort of thing that will lead to this whole thing breaking down. Heavy handed policing is the last thing needed right now.
