Yeah the BBC are making out like your front door is going to be welded shut.

I’ve already barricaded mine. In case the zombies come.

Londoners are now only permitted one stabbing each per day.

Can't get Corona if someone stabs you first.

It’s how it started here and eventually got stricter, now I can’t even leave the house for a fecking walk.

They ramp it up rather than putting too many restrictions at first.

I think there's a chance that might not happen here if people don't take the piss though no doubt the same fucking idiots who invaded the memorial park and Snowdon and the London markets won't be able to help themselves.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Exactly. The police can enforce it, enforce what?

They'll search you to make sure you have a bit or a bob

My dad's Bob, I'll be fine.

Well at least that's all nice and clear. FFS, people couldn't follow don't go out, make it simpler not more nuanced.

Plenty of restaurants around this way have quickly spun up takeaway facilities, to try and keep their head above the water whilst social distancing is underway. I couldn't hear anything in Johnson's speech that helps them as not sure whether going to collect a meal constitutes shopping or not. Likewise boozers trying to sell off beer.

Let's be honest here, the government has fucked this right up. It's been behind the curve on everything.

Agree Clint. Could be avoided but won’t be, thick and selfish not a good combo !

Tbh they have been slow to react even now what even was that press conference? Nothings changed people will still be out how they gonna enforce anything

 

[Astute]

Lockdown but go to work and pop out once a day.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is lockdown. The same lock down as in France.

Work and shopping.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Just got in- is it full lockdown?

 

[Astute]

How do they know how many times anyone has popped out ?

CCTV?

There's a lot been said, and I agree, about the effects of total lock down on mental health.
I think they've had that in mind when announcing these measures.
They've forgot to factor in one important metric though- by and large, the British public are arseholes.

Plus a trip to the park. You also have fill I a form each time you leave house in France

Oh well. They will soon learn.

 

[Astute]

So we want to stop the spread between households but you can still go to work with hundreds of others from other households, hmmmm

Places not important will be shut. Places needed will stay open. Places left open will need workers.

 

[clint van damme]

I wouldn't say so. Though a full lock down would stop you working unless in an essential industry.

 

[wingy]

CCTV?

Mobile.

 

[shmmeee]

Great already got the ex using this as an excuse to not drop the kids back when it’s my turn.

Right steps, could do with more clarity on what’s actually “essential” both work and travel.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

David knows better and as I’m bored I’m ready for a really big bet. David - name your stake

I'm kind of disappointed that we won't get to see our own wager get tested but seeing Biden get wiped out is compensation enough

 

[David O'Day]

Plus they are still relying on people to be honest about what they are doing outside. No police powers yet

That's fine as long as employers grasp that .
Evidence of two cases in my family where that isn't the case

It is getting to most already on full lockdown. It is hard to understand what it is like until it happens.

The comments on here will soon change. Just like they gradually have. It was always going to happen after the millions of idiots this last weekend took no notice.

Senior police officers are reluctant to get involved in continental-style enforcement.

The police are also expecting to lose a lot of their officers due to illness or family illness over the coming weeks.

They won't have a choice.

No they won't unless they are shops there is nothing to make them close.

There isn't any social contact involved in a dude picking up cooked food and leaving it on your doorstep. Pretty sure that can continue.

OK, the Tories then Steve.

They’ve said shops shouldn’t open but there are plenty of jobs that aren’t important and are still open. I’ve got mates going to offices because their bosses have told them it’s “business as normal”. As far as I’m aware they haven’t said key workers only, anywhere can open if they’re not public spaces?

The piece after explained they cant even shut shops are gave to rely on heavy persuasion.

Might change once the new bill clears both houses on thursday
