“This is insanity. Britain needs to properly lockdown – NOW.”
He continued: “How many crucial NHS heroes are millions of non-essential workers infecting with #Coronavirus right now on the transport system up & down Britain, thus risking their health/lives & removing them from the frontline?
“None of this Govt. strategy makes any sense.”
Piers also reiterated: “The fact Britain’s 3 most important people in the battle against Coronavirus have gone down on the same day says everything about our woeful & I fear disastrous social distancing strategy.
“They can’t even practice it properly themselves.”
Charley went on to respond saying she was trying to do her bit but it had ended in her suffering “abuse”.
She told her own 444,000 followers: “I went to our local supermarket today. No one had masks or gloves on, including the people that were working.
“I had to ask 2 people to stop coming closer than 2 metres and got abuse.”
