This is exactly why we need law enforced on the street , barricades and big fines like our European counterparts. No discussion. No argument. ENFORCED. End of. Boris Johnson for gods sake just GET ON WITH IT.
The real concern is do we have the resources to do this? Are our Police/Army strong enough? I for one wouldn't dare not obey the Police in France/Italy/Spain. But in Britain?

Whoever said we need to calm down clearly doesn’t have a grasp on how serious this is.

@AlternativePerspective
If a teenager doesn't respect their parents enough to listen to reasoning behind why they shouldn't go out and stay in when requested to without the parent being there to prevent them having had it explained to them that it is for the good of vulnerable people in society, then I'm really sorry but I'm afraid they have raised them wrong.

Surely he can go as long as they all keep their distance from each other. If they can't be trusted to do that then straight home.
