Amidst all the insanity you recount, there’s one that doesn’t ring true, the @northumbriapol tweet. The account exists on Twitter, and does appear to be the real Northumbria Police, but Twitter search does not turn up the tweet. However, I don’t know how effective Twitter search is. Google search also fails to find the initial phrase of the tweet.
There is currently no outdoor daily exercise allowance anywhere in the UK, and there has not been for a long time. The full image that “drukpa_kunley” posted contains a date of 7 Jan 2021 and includes a bit.ly link (bit.ly/3qtyd24) to the “Full story”, but the link is 404 (from bit.ly, not whatever the target of the link was).
If the alleged @northumbriapol tweet is genuine, the reposter has plucked old news from the past and reposted as if it was happening now. I would more bluntly describe this as a lie.

Agreed, I took this down in OP and asked for a reimport, this was pretty clearly a fake.
