Angry man tears off plastic sheets covering clothes in Wales Tesco after sales ban by First Minister
This video shows an angry man inside a Wales Tesco tearing off plastic sheets covering clothes and other non-essential items, after the Welsh Government temporarily banned the sales of non-essential items in supermarkets to slow the spread of Covid, as part of a firebreak lockdown that has just started in Wales.
The man named Gwilym Owen challenged the claim that clothes are non-essential as winter is coming. Eventually security stopped him and the person making the video. Poor guys!
In the meantime, Wales police plan to patrol the border between England and Wales to prevent people from coming over to Wales during the half term holiday. They plan to use plate recognition technology to catch vehicles and fine the owners.

GOOD! Man filmed allegedly ripping off non-essential item coverings in Tesco charged with criminal damage Gwilym Owen, 28, from Anglesey will appear at Caernarfon Magistrates court next month Within the video a voice can be heard shouting "since when has clothes been exempt?", "rip the fuckers off!" and "kids' fucking clothes, it is a disgrace." North Wales Police have issued a statement saying they had charged Mr Owen with criminal damage, several public order offences, and contravention of the coronavirus regulations. In a statement on Twitter a North Wales Police spokesman said: "Following an incident at Tesco, Bangor on Friday, October 23, 28-year-old Gwilym Owen from Anglesey has been charged with criminal damage, several public order offences, and contravention of the coronavirus regulations. "He will appear at Caernarfon Magistrates court on November 24."

Listen to yourself mate, 'covid hands', get a grip on your fear. 94% of people who have passed away from covid suffered from 3 specific diseases. So the obvious answer to the problem is that we all work together to help safe guard & protect the small minority who are at fatal risk (provide food deliveries and all essentials while they isolate), instead they've crippled an economy, drove the SUICIDE rates up by DOUBLE (official figures), crushed small businesses to the point that they no longer exist, forced everyone to wear a mask and live in fear, instant restricted international travel every thursday, picked and chose who they gave grants to leaving thousands of newly self employed in the shit, you trying getting by on £400 for 4 months living in london (true story), spent 10's of millions on completely over the top marketing on 'stop the spread' and '2 metre' signs all across the UK, stopped new fathers who live with there childs mother from being present at the birth (this is happening in wales), and now there preventing everyone in wales from buying electrical items & clothes in store!!! lol wake up you absolute sausage! This is not about our health my friend, its a corporate move. As for your 'buy online' comment, what if his daughter needed a coat there and then because its OCTOBER!!!

Tell me about it. Most people in the West have never experienced such drastic measures to handle the global outbreak of some new, unknown and deadly disease, so those lockdowns must be a massive shock to many of them. Social media and instant messaging also made it easy to spread loads of information around, some of which may be unverified and misleading which incites people to panic and protest. That is probably why laws like the POFMA are needed. I have my own theories about this, but let's not talk about it here...
