Allow supermarkets to sell ‘non essential’ items during lockdown.
What may not be deemed essential to one person may be extremely essential to another.
The government should not be restricting what the general public may need to buy during the month long lockdown.
We do not agree that this is a prudent or rational measure, and will create more harm than good.
We do not agree for example that parents should be barred from buying clothes for their children during lockdown while out shopping. This is disproportionate and cruel and we ask that the decision be reversed immediately.
