London lockdown now, no travel, shops close, full lockdown Wednesday if people carry on ignoring advice.

Soft lockdown then.

Complete lockdown nation-wide (not just London) from NOW.
Good. It needs to be done. It’s going to be fucking tough but we must do it.

Well done Boris

Helenj1977 · 23/03/2020 20:46

Yes Boris 👏🏻 Let's see how many actually do it.

How is it being enforced? I mean how would they know if it's your second or third walk of the day? This is what I don't understand.

Grow some balls, Boris!

They'll track people's movements via google maps (takes off tin hat) Grin

With the excercise, what if someone was just to do that all day?.

Should have been a time limit or distance attached to the rule, No?

Typical vague response.

People will not comply. Brits are mavericks. They will push the boundaries until armed police are patrolling the streets.

Noodlenosefraggle · 23/03/2020 20:58

We'll have the army deployed by next week after people respond to 'policing by consent' by wasting the police's time arguing the toss about how many times a day they have gone for a walk and how essential their trip was!

Yeah hubby runs half marathons most days and sometimes longer so is delighted he can still go out for a few hours! Saying that we are very rural and he runs over fields and doesn’t see anyone.

Should have been a time limit or distance attached to the rule, No?

That'll come next, when they see if people will conform to the spirit of the ruling in its current form

They also need to be clearer about dogs - my guess is that it'll be one long walk (also counting as owners exercise) plus v brief in-and-out pee/poo excursions according to need
