"Downing Street said shops would still be allowed to sell Easter eggs, following an attempted crackdown by police and local authorities."

This is the problem, government gives the jobsworths an inch, and they try to take a mile. Fortunately Boris is on the side of Easter Egg lovers everywhere and has told the police and local militias to back off.

First it was taking your dog for a walk on a vast, empty moorland, now it's Easter Eggs and driving your car without good reason. We really are not that far from a Police State are we ?
