Its disgraceful and weird. Police patrolling halls of residence to make sure some daft rules are being adhered to. Its almost as if its not about the rules but the compliance and subjugation

“Students at several UK universities have accused police officers of invading their privacy when checking for breaches of Covid rules.”

The police were probably looking for women to kill. This covid rules implementation seems to have made them think they are invincible. Probably why they were so angry when one of theirs ‘got caught’ that they beat the shit out of loads of women
