Boris to address the nation tonight

[Utterlybutterly8]

There's speculation that he will implement a full lockdown.

How will this differ from what we're doing now?

Serious Sitting-Down Johnson reading from Autocue. Lots of self-justification and more pleas to ask people to be sensible.

Don't think this bunch of fools have any idea how difficult this is going to be to enforce on the council estates where the young will gather outside rather than be cooped up in tiny flats.

Poor sodding police. Having to mingle with selfish fools to break up gatherings.

so its immediate?

It's not the council estate kids. It's Mary and Horatio from Hertfordshire who feel it's their god given right to wander around Waitrose after a leisurely stroll in a stately home.

shit from tonight

Thats what I worry about is the police maybe that's why he held back.

Happy enough with it. Doesn't bother me as that's what I've been doing anyway.

Well we are all in lockdown now.

Separated parents?

Oooh. Does it mean no post deliveries?

That’s more like it. He actually IS a Prime Minister, then.

Happy enough with it. Doesn't bother me as that's what I've been doing anyway

Yep, me too.

Anything about visiting hospitals- can’t bear to look my dp has had a brain haemorrhage

I'm sorry but people are still going to take the piss. Parks still open and one outing a day, people will push the boundary of that and stay out for hours. It's not going to make any difference at all.

I only caught it from the 'we'll reassess in 3 weeks' bit - what's the actual lowdown please?

It's not lockdown thank God.

I bet you what you like the Army wil lbe used now, won't be long!

Does that mean the bastard holiday makers/ second home owners that have bled our supermarket dry over the weekend, can't fucking go home now?

Better make sure the council estates have electric then.

There is space in the leafy suburbs. Anyone who doesn't come from an area of high density occupation has no idea. The big kids are off school. They will gather. They will play silly buggers with the police.

Does that mean I'm still allowed to go collect lunch from the school?
Some people still wont get it

Go out for exercise once a day
Go to work if essential
Medical care or appointments
Care for a relative
Shopping for food and medicine

@StillDumDeDumming - he said you could leave home for a medical need or care for vulnerable people - not sure if that means you can

Finally. Happy (for want of a better word) with that. Special shout out to those who interpreted go out only for essential supplies/brief exercise to mean let's grab the fam and head to a popular beach/y hotspot with a picnic.

Does the ‘one form of exercise a day’ include walking the dog? So I can only go out once a day with him, and then no other exercise?
