It's an intrpretation of the law: The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020, done by the CPS and handed down to the police.
I have read through that act a few times and nowhere does it mention crisps, bars of chocolate, masking tape, gloss paint, closing parks, sitting on a bench or any other individual item. It is so loosely worded that it can be interpreted in any which way.
What we now have are snowflake, quango, think-tank, focus group interpretations based on their own social media echo chamber experiences. No analysis, nothing practical just "feelings" that they are right.
