Yes testing is important and tracing people as well but I do feel a bit of the government as I suspect some did abuse the system for own reasons.
if we are running out or overwhelmed with testing why not do others collaborate and come up with a solution instead of just criticism.
my simple idea is their mUstinov be laboratory s idle in hospital s and universities why use them or prehaps a private sector could offer to help.
Rule of 6 is simple anymore then 6 is illegal.
Why can't shop assistant s were masks at work as when leave the building their have to comply with the same rules.
I don't think the police want to imforce the new laws due to possible conflicts.

Extract from my newest book out soon Edward and John by Mark Antony Raines And Winston Marks.
Edward and John
C1
Edward Neff came onto his dusty old flat ,slammed the front door with a thud then calmly without breaking a sweat dropped a thin bundle of currency into the £ 100 bill drawer of the flat packed flat-top desk he pick up from a local charity store and then kicked the drawer shut with a dusty boot.
Due to him being a o.c.c he flicked the drip from his hooked nose which some said was like the Roman s of golden days which was chronically irritated by the wheat dust of the warehouse, then he wiped his fingers down the leg of his soiled denims as he had nobody to criticise this bad habit. Across the windowless room which made the air stake as a day old bread ,John stirred awake from the noise and began nosing in the debris of his filthy cage.
“Time for supper, John?” He tugged at the twine at his belt and examined his £3 watch He got that off a fly market as He just wanted a no thrills watch that just told the time and bought else.
He pinched a dozen grains of wheat from a two-pound coffee can and let them sift through the wires of the cage. John pounced on the grain hungrily.
“Wait a minute! What do you say, dammit?” His hand reached for the marshmallow-toasting fork that hung from a hook on the wall for just got these occasions
. He touched the points, filed needle sharp. “What do you say?” he repeated, twanging the tines like a tuning fork-Ping Ping.
John skittered to the far corner, tearing new holes in the old newspaper with frantic claws. Cowering against the wires he spat half-chewed flecks of wheat trying to say the magic words that would spare him from the fork. “Tinkoo! Tinkoo!” he squeaked, straining to make the two syllables distinct.
Edward then hung up the fork back on its hook and watched John turned to lick at the old scabs clotted from earlier jabs as most animals do this to keep a sounds clean and free from possible infection.
John then made sullen inventory to be sure there were no new crimson leaks in his louse-infested hide.
Until two months ago, he had been just one more gregarious specimen of Mammalia Rodentia Simplicidentata Myomorphia Muridae decumanus.
Now he had another name. Like each of his predecessors in the cage, he was a large, brown rat called John—after Edward despised and deceased father as a way of getting back at his father’s misdeeds. Edward named all his rats John.

This article is about the Second World War battle. For other uses, see Battle of Britain (disambiguation).
The Battle of Britain (German: die Luftschlacht um England, "the Air Battle for England") was a military campaign of the Second World War, in which the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Fleet Air Arm (FAA) of the Royal Navy defended the United Kingdom (UK) against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe. It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces.[17] The British officially recognise the battle's duration as being from 10 July until 31 October 1940, which overlaps the period of large-scale night attacks known as the Blitz, that lasted from 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941.[18] German historians do not accept this subdivision and regard the battle as a single campaign lasting from July 1940 to June 1941, including the Blitz.[19]

The primary objective of the German forces was to compel Britain to agree to a negotiated peace settlement. In July 1940, the air and sea blockade began, with the Luftwaffe mainly targeting coastal-shipping convoys, ports and shipping centres, such as Portsmouth. On 1 August, the Luftwaffe was directed to achieve air superiority over the RAF, with the aim of incapacitating RAF Fighter Command; 12 days later, it shifted the attacks to RAF airfields and infrastructure.[20] As the battle progressed, the Luftwaffe also targeted factories involved in aircraft production and strategic infrastructure. Eventually, it employed terror bombing on areas of political significance and on civilians.[nb 9]
The Germans had rapidly overwhelmed France and the Low Countries, leaving Britain to face the threat of invasion by sea. The German high command recognised the logistic difficulties of a seaborne attack[22] and its impracticality while the Royal Navy controlled the English Channel and the North Sea.[23][page needed] On 16 July, Hitler ordered the preparation of Operation Sea Lion as a potential amphibious and airborne assault on Britain, to follow once the Luftwaffe had air superiority over the Channel. In September, RAF Bomber Command night raids disrupted the German preparation of converted barges, and the Luftwaffe's failure to overwhelm the RAF forced Hitler to postpone and eventually cancel Operation Sea Lion. The Luftwaffe proved unable to sustain daylight raids, but their continued night-bombing operations on Britain became known as the Blitz.
Historian Stephen Bungay cited Germany's failure to destroy Britain's air defences to force an armistice (or even an outright surrender) as the first major German defeat in World War II and a crucial turning point in the conflict.[24] The Battle of Britain takes its name from the speech given by Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the House of Commons on 18 June: "What General Weygand called the 'Battle of France' is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin."[25]
