Discussion
At the moment people seem to be mainly obeying the social distancing rules, but experts seem to be saying that people will become fatigued and complacent as we get further in and start going out. Do you think that the government will introduce some sort of tipping off line to report those disobeying the rules? I think NZ have something along those lines in place.
Would you support this being in place so you can report those you see breaking the rules and putting others at risk?

Indeed to the "pulling together" comment.
A bit of healthy peer pressure is fine though.
Ain't no substitute for trust if you want a society to work. As someone with family in the States, it's tragic to see how there's been a run on ammunition, body armour and even night vision kit, particularly from quite a few people who think they're traditional Christians. Faith in your fellow man or what?
Anyway, my prepping is paying off. Anticipating the current crisis, I have spent the last few years carefully laying down about 10kg of flab around my gut, chin and tits. Now that I'm at home and no longer have unrestrained access to The Tipperary, Wasabi and Casella, I am slowly eating into my own supply of lard.

“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power”Would you support this being in place so you can report those you see breaking the rules and putting others at risk?

I'm sure others do too.
Don't forget to order your nice new shirt from Amazon afterwards. They seem to be selling out fast so don't delay.

100% compliance isn’t needed to beat this, so the police should generally be able to stay on top of it. They don’t need informers everywhere. It may be frustrating for people to see others flouting the rules but they just need to chill out.
The problem is you then have people saying the police are overzealous when they do clamp down on people taking the piss, so it’s a very fine line and you can’t please everyone.

Dammit man, we're British.Would you support this being in place so you can report those you see breaking the rules and putting others at risk?
We don't report things to the Police. We tut loudly and write letters to the local paper.

I was about to post that I’m sure I’ve actually seen numbers already where you can report people to the police for not following the new rules/laws/guidelines etcI'm sure others do too.

It wasn’t humberside police that I saw so there must be others.
