A police federation boss has slammed 'toothless tiger' Covid laws and said there is 'no way' officers will be knocking on doors to catch Christmas rule breakers as Tier 4 officers have ruled out road blocks. Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation said there is 'no way' officers will be knocking on doors of 'normal households' to catch rule breakers unless there is a 'large party' happening. He also called Covid laws a 'toothless tiger' because if people refuse to open their doors to officers, they have no power to gain entry. And you can travel through a Tier 4 area on your way from Tier 2 to Tier 2. The Department for Transport (DfT) said cash refunds will be provided for cancelled rail and coach bookings in England for the previous Christmas travel window of December 23 to 27.
