Did you listen to his brief? All pubs, clubs & restaurants to close from tonight. Gyms etc tomorrow. Chancellor now speaking.

Inkpaperstars · 20/03/2020 17:12

Countrywide, not just London

todayisnottuesday · 20/03/2020 17:12

Am I hearing this right - is this a national thing?

Harriett123 · 20/03/2020 17:14

About time. Were heading for an Italy type situation which is what we need.

midgebabe · 20/03/2020 17:14

National

BackyardChickens · 20/03/2020 17:14

Is it just London???

4forkssake · 20/03/2020 17:14

Yes all pubs, theatres, restaurants, gyms closed as of ASAP tonight. Takeways can still be offered.

spacepoppers · 20/03/2020 17:14

Oh heck, I really hope so!

sleepwhenidie · 20/03/2020 17:15

Everywhere. Restaurants etc can be takeaway only though.

4forkssake · 20/03/2020 17:15

Nationwide not just london.

BiNgOoOo · 20/03/2020 17:15

It's not a lock down. He has just ordered pubs, shops and restaurants to close

Drivemybluecar · 20/03/2020 17:16

Boris didn’t say shops. ??? Or did I miss that

Roostersmum2 · 20/03/2020 17:18

About bloody time, though at this stage it should be a complete lockdown

ByAppointmentTo · 20/03/2020 17:18

Boris didn't say shops but Rishi did 🤷‍♀️

Single2catsand1daughter · 20/03/2020 17:18

He didn't say shops and it's not a lock down.

4forkssake · 20/03/2020 17:18

No mention of shops, just entertainment style places (pubs, clubs, restaurants, gyms). I'm surprised non essential (supermarkets & chemists) haven't been closed down too.

SapphireSalute · 20/03/2020 17:20

not heard of shops shutting

4forkssake · 20/03/2020 17:22

That should've been 'not' supermarkets & chemists Confused

GabsAlot · 20/03/2020 17:23

resturants pubs clubs lesiure centres everywhere from tonght

Quartz2208 · 20/03/2020 17:25

It will be nationwide - I dont think they will do London particularly before anywhere else. They have seen what that did in Northern Italy and Madrid and I think the affects of everyone moving out of London is far worse.

When it happens it will be national

GabsAlot · 20/03/2020 17:28

it has quartz watch the news

Rosehip10 · 20/03/2020 17:32

Why aren't non essential shops closing? They will just become the new pubs

Roostersmum2 · 20/03/2020 17:49

He's doing as least as possible whilst remaining to be seen doing 'something'

The whole place needs locking down

I agree with the PP who said non essential shops will just become the new pubs.

justasking111 · 20/03/2020 17:53

What the heck is a non essential shop when its at home?

leckford · 20/03/2020 17:56

We are just heating up our first takeaway from our favourite small restaurant, we want to keep them in business
