POLICE will be distracted by ‘curtain twitchers’ snitching on their neighbours, officers warned yesterday after a British minister told the public to report anyone flouting the country’s new ‘rule of six’.
Policing minister Kit Malthouse sparked a row by telling the public to phone the police’s non-emergency 101 number if they see neighbours having a party.
Yesterday, the controversial new coronavirus restrictions banning groups larger than six came under fire as a list of exemptions was published, creating further confusion for the public.
Under the new regulations, ‘mingling’ in a large group has been banned, with the exception of sports and organised outdoor activities such as hunting.
However, larger gatherings are permitted for work and childcare, according to the latest iteration of the rules.
