The only explanation I can come up with is the mask has slipped, they were tyrants before but now they feel they have the power to enforce their personal whims.

I think there has always been a significant minority of 'coppers' who've always wished for draconian powers which they can exploit. They should be clearly be held accountable for the misuse of their supposed 'powers'.

I did come across this now rather unsurprisingly deleted tweet.

If someone has nhs id they should let them through.

I am horrified that nhs staff are being mugged for their id lanyards so that others can either use them or pass them on.

This virus has brought out the worst ( and best) in everyone. The vast majority of Britons are behaving in an exemplary fashion

Because there are sheeple who see others sitting around and think it's ok for them to do the same, and then numbers multiply and social distancing is a problem. Sunbathing in a park isn't exercise.

The police are helping nobody by restricting the movement of NHS staff.

They have since issued a half apology.

It’s all ok now, they’ve done some clapping.
We are becoming a nation the Stasi would be proud of.

I’ve seen a few reports of this going on, it’s a curtain twitchers wet dream out there right now.

Another note suggested that the person going to work can’t have been a key worker because they didn’t have their uniform on.
