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.

How about a big blond 'skunk' stripe,shits? That would match Your Shame well.

Should I get a shame bell too? Please say I can have a bell!

Not sure about a skunk strip. Maybe at the front a la ginger spice?

DANCER WAS JOKING.....I AM NOT OFFENDED!

(Not type in all caps on a Corona thread before.....it does reduce stress )

I have hair dye and I'm going to have to give it a go this weekend. I have no idea if it's the right colour but the box said dark blonde and may hair is dark blonde so fingers crossed!

Do you think I'd be allowed to buy a hat if it goes wrong or is that being extravagant in these times?

I think it's fine if you're buying while getting other essentials. Going out just for Easter eggs isnt right, but then it's chocolate just shaped differently essentially, and it's a nice pick me up in these shit times.

A lot of police bashing here! Don't forget the police don't make laws, they enforce them. Do you really think police officers want to spend their time checking on shopping? I mean seriously do you really think they went into their profession thinking "great! One day I'll be able to check people's shopping and chase up neighbours telling tales on each other!"
Yeah you'll get some arseholes but you do in every profession unfortunately. If they have been told to enforce things it's because there are some real selfish idiots who aren't following the guidelines. Also consider maybe they have been told to enforce things but some officers are confused/ not sure what people are or are not supposed to be doing. They're people too trying to deal/get their heads around this extraordinary times.
I don't know where people are getting their information from anyway; the supermarkets around me are full of Easter eggs.

Thanks echo which flavour do i get?
Do you deserve the Skunk Stripe too, m'lady?

Just don't wash shits. Will go with your new Do. Fecking self indulgent soap buying bastards need strung up.

Don't forget the police don't make laws, they enforce them.

Unfortunately some police officers arent aware of that.

Its not police bashing. We are talking about the individual police officers that think they can dictate what people can buy.

Yep they are the real villains....its ok I didnt buy soap.

Right back to whipping myself.

it's the power-hungry and authoritarian police that we have. Many are revelling in the chance to boss people about and over-reach their powers.

Not police bashing?
This is just one of many comments.

In this case the police are making the laws, as the govt didn't tell them to check people's bags for seasonal contraband. That's the whole point, that they shouldn't be doing that.

Bloody hell Shits, you’re a soap dodger as well? You definitely get a bell.

I don't agree with those who are calling other people selfish for buying 'indulgent' items. Just buy them in your normal shop. I fully intend to buy my kids Easter eggs but I won't make a journey solely to buy them.

The Police can easily overstretch their powers but some eejits are for handing abuse of power rights to them. Fecking mentalists.

Some people need to understand how fragile their freedoms actually are.

Well, I would admit to buy a pack of 6 bars of soap 2 weeks ago. But then not only would I be shamed for going out, I would be shamed for hoarding soap.

So not admitting to that.........posting from my bubble bath.......which I decide to have instead of whipping myself.

Yep Also
'Make Way For The Leper'......

Because if there's anything you don't need during a health crisis it's basic hygiene! Perhaps the police will be kind and grant us one bar of soap per household a month if we're quiet and respectful.

The point is, that the Easter eggs (and hot cross buns) will be wasted if not bought by someone.

Ultimately, the police enforce the laws by consent. If the 'lockdown' lasts too long, then it will be violated, especially as some people struggle with the law as it is.

Theprodigal.... and you know this is all true how? Because you know someone who knows someone..... or it could be because you read it in a tabloid paper? Because we all know how reliable those are 🤨

Make Way For The Leper'......

Fuck that shit!

I have just god rid of the leper label. My kids went to Italy with their dad. Straight into isolation. I didnt see them for 3 weeks.

Dickheads at work still treated me like I just have something. As though I must have absorbed it, by magic, from 8 miles away because we are related.

Indeed, accusing anyone who questions you of being a tabloid reading numpty will definitely convince them to stop asking awkward questions about police overreach.

I’m about to have a Camembert with toast and a glass of wine, with a candle lit.

Might as well turn myself in now

That's definitely Non Essential Cheese, that is.

Someone near here went out and bought wine and cheese (only) and got fined by the police. So they do seem to be checking how essential your shopping is.
