New powers will make us a police state
So, it’s official then folks – we’re now living in a Orwellian police state. This new Police Powers Bill banning the right to peaceful protest confirms that Britain is now twinned with North Korea. What next, everyone having to have a Boris haircut? Hugh Jarse in Derby
Former top Tory Alan Duncan calls Bozo a clown a buffoon and shameless clot while Priti Patel is abysmal etc etc – at last a Tory tells the truth. Mike
Why do protesters bother? They make a noise, a few get arrested, have their moment of glory by being shown dragged away. That’s about it really. Apart from taking up police time, that’s it. Just what do they achieve? Their protests never change anything, apart from maybe peoples opinions of such individuals.

Fantastic, all the shops I visited are sold out of Easter eggs by good Friday. So anyone wanting to buy Easter eggs for loved ones who has been too busy working in the run up to Easter will have to do without. Another example of this country going crazy! Thanks to all the panic buyers. Holly Trees
It really made me sad to here people state on TV they were really Desperate to get away on holidays after Year of doing without due to lockdown. How do you think our dads and mums felt when dad was away sometimes for years fighting in WW2 without seeing their families? How pathetic if you can’t wait until it’s safe from Covid to have a holiday, if you can’t try a SUNBED. Tod

I see pep Guardiola having another moan about his pampered players. he has the biggest squad in the Premier tell him to go back to the proper football era 70/80 where they had 13/14 men squads and were playing on pitches that today’s pampered players would not even train on. Petermac
