How do you feel about B.J's announcement?

[Roostersmum2]

I'm relieved. How about you?

In theory excellent, but I believe we still need a firmer hand. We are a nation of selfish twats (not all, but a large majority). Still not strict enough. People will ignore.

I'm pleased that they have taken this step. From a personal point of view, it makes no difference to me anyway, as I was already complying with the new requirements.

Finally a clear message. Surely no one can think it's ok to invite friends and elderly granny to a garden party now as mentioned here, or think it's ok to holiday in Cornwall, meet up in parks with friends etc...... hopefully 🙄 and if they do the police can step in.

Safari, did he mention banks?
I'd try tomorrow morning

I’m annoyed but glad that he’s at least given us a minimum period. It’s nice to have some certainty for once.

Is it Italy or France where you are allowed only 50m from your own property?

How will it be enforced?
How will police know if it's your first or fifth walk of the day. It's a bit wishy washy to be honest but glad something is being done.
We are still not lockdown here in Ireland & people are totally taking the piss...

Tonight's announcement was just what was neeed (and what I and my family have been doing). I have seen some incredibly ignorant, selfish behaviour over the past few days. This was inevitable.

That's what we need.

Safariboot someone posted a link to DVLA saying they are giving leeway on mot so look that up.

If your mum can't manage without the money from the cheques call the bank and see if they are putting anything in place. I expect they will have to adapt as well.

Hardly fucked tbh. Have you actually looked into this.

Relieved, I felt it was clear to minimise leaving your home. Unfortunately many individuals & businesses chose to interpret this differently/be self interested,

In that basis please let it now be crystal clear

My friend’s work have just sent out an email saying 3 members of staff that went to Cheltenham (twats) have CV symptoms.

How that went ahead I’ll never fucking know

Relieved, should have happened sooner in London our hospitals are close to breaking point already and yet people were out and about as normal over the weekend.

Nicola Sturgeon just called it lockdown

Get on with it, Bozo. Enforce properlockdosn with forms, fines for non compliance.

Only a matter on time for us in ROI

@Reginabambina why annoyed?

Lockdown. No gin consumption here, honest

So the work thing...

Travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home

Is that for "essential workers" (NHS, supermarket workers etc) only as it doesn't specify?

OH is self employed in a job that cannot be done from home but would say his ability to earn a wage is necessary!

What do we think?

Relieved. I'm grateful to still be able to go to work and To my local park..

He didn't say the word lockdown but that's pretty much what it is isn't it?

I heard no mention of banks and what they're doing.

I presume more will come to light over the next few days.

I actually cried when he finished speaking. I've been willing for this to happen for weeks.

In my humble opinion this was the best and only viable outcome.

Thank fuck!

Thank fuck

Maybe these ignorant cunts will now understand.

🤬🤬🤬

For me it was still not clear enough. What does it mean people can't use transport unless they're going to work? The firm that I work at are going to that as we still can't work from home which we've been pushing for but they won't allow so we're still going to have to go in every day

Are we meant to go to work or not? Very foggy

I did wonder at this "addressing the nation" earlier?
We need this.
DH is on his way home. He hasn`t seen the annaouncement ....not heard a radio. I called him with get the fuck home NOW. Its a 2 hour drive away. (teacher).
