Feck me - if a shotgun doesn't ensure social distancing, I dunno what will!

I am totally disgusted that the government has failed to include the traditional countryside sports of giraffe strangling and panda stomping.

Yet again it’s one rule for the working to upper middle classes and another for the rest of us.

That's nice, at least we know that @ForestMagpie can carry on as usual through this.

"Confirmation that the latest health protection regulations permit groups of up to 30 to take part in any sports gathering was published only minutes before coming into force"

Although I am not quite sure how magpies idea of sport would be viewed by the law is debateable.

Well it can fall under "outdoor pursuits" or sport, depends on if you are making it competitive or not really. I am glad to see that this won't make changes to my life and I can carry on as normal really, well, with the added bonus that the police will be more distracted with anyone breaking to rule of 6. I'm just glad sheep don't count in the rule of 6, phew.

They have picked grouse shooting - but the same law also exempts football and paintball

Im going to go out on a limb and suggest that news item was from something like the independant ....

It's true though. I've had an email from BASC ( British Association for Shooting and Conservation) saying shooting meets are exempt. [emoji106]

I've just went down a rabbit hole and read the comments on a Facebook post about this, the general consensus there was that people are going to be ignoring it and if you snitch on your neighbours for doing it you deserve to have your windows smashed.

What a time to be alive.
