How do police go about enforcing that? I'm sure they're having trouble already dispersing people or issuing out fines (have they been doing it consistently?). Multiply that by however many times after today (people really won't wait til Wednesday to go to parks) and how do the police go about dishing out fines for every single person going to park that may be breaching the 2m rule or the same household rule? 

 

Agree with the last sentence though - fines should have been huge from the start. Make it an actual deterrent.

You're dead right. By making it negligible and an almost non-deterent they've made a rod for their own back. 'You weren't getting rid of us when it was £30 were ya?'

So next bit of warm weather were ok to drive to the coast and sit in the sun.

Lovely.

They will shut the coast down because social distancing could not be observed

But Boris didn't spell out in crayon that I'm NOT allowed to see my mummy. 

Some people need to learn through play it seems.

In all seriousness, one of the things that angered me the most was towards the start of the speech. Saying we've 'avoided a catastrophe' like there hasn't been 30k+ deaths and now having the highest death toll in Europe. And chose to use the 500,000 death toll as a barometer for success. Didn't Vallance say early on that limiting deahts to 20,000 would be seen as a success?

 

Disappointed me, that.

I’d imagine the fines are for the party goers.

This is pretty much what I was told yesterday. Beggars belief though why this wasn’t ready for today.

So you are Boris . 

Cover blown.🤣

[RowlattsFox]

Essentially he is opening the door slightly, and monitoring the consequences. I'll still be working from home and I won't be changing too much over next couple of weeks, will still have my one walk a day and socially distance as I have been.

Because in a 20 minute window, no-one was ever going to cover all scenarios. It could cover, golf, tennis, lawn green bowling, kite flying, etc, etc.

Would like to think common sense fills in a lot of gaps and we actually don’t need a written slip to have a sh*te if we had just been told we may use the bathroom.

A lot of people just got their addiction back. Me included.

 

The guidance is all over the shop, but I got my way!

Surely people who can't work from home have still been going in anyway? That's been my situation for weeks. 

No, many have been furloughed

Every MP back at Westminster tomorrow! (Obs if they are ok ). Can't see that!

I don’t know why they announced it on a Sunday night at 7pm. I understand it’s a bank holiday but surely an announcement say Monday morning followed by the parliament details Monday afternoon? 
 

Its him and his party what that will affect ultimately mind. So seems a daft move 

[foxile5]

I'm off for a bevvie in Spoon's garden if anyone is interested? Two meter distance, obviously. Celebrate the end of this lockdown in style.

Completely agree. And they can’t legislate for every scenario so that the media vultures can pounce and say but what about this It’s a slow release of the conditions whilst monitoring the infection rates

Media Vultures is a slow walk from fake news. Ahahaha. They're bastards just picking at the bleached bones of a corpse.

Who is saying he should have said it tomorrow? They should have had a graffic ready for the second it was over though, like they did last time.

[Mike Oxlong]

I’d have thought that we should have been looking to get R lower than at present and have effective testing and contact tracing before those who can’t work at home should return to the workplace.

 

Also, I expected that more thought would have been given to risk as referable to different employment sectors. Most hairdressers can’t work from home but should return to work asap. I’d imagined that is a sector where risk of transmission is towards the upper end of the scale. 

 

And it’s notable how out of kilter we are with  Scotland and Wales now who are imposing stricter lockdown measures for the next three weeks

Well when you say I’m going to give a road map as to how we can get out on Sunday, by actually giving us a road map of how we can get out of it on Sunday, not in PM’s questions tomorrow.
