Federation warns of ‘impossibility’ of policing as medics say ‘stay alert’ line risks triggering more infections
Doctors and police reacted to the government’s new “stay alert” slogan and Boris Johnson’s lockdown-easing measures with warnings of growing non-compliance and the “impossibility” of policing.
The Police Federation, representing 120,000 rank-and-file officers, attacked a “week of mixed messages” from ministers, fuelled by media speculation, while medical experts said they increasingly expected to see a second rise in infections.
