Don Dan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Boris Johnson has stunned millions of Britons with a momentous and tough lockdown announcement to tackle coronavirus: stay at home or face a fine. In a dramatic and historic TV address to the nation, the prime minister said all shops apart from food stores and chemists must close immediately, meeting friends will be banned - but one form of exercise a day will be allowed. The lockdown, which will be in force for at least three weeks, follows growing pressure in recent days from the government's top medical advisers and senior politicians for a lockdown. Announcing powers not seen since wartime, Mr Johnson declared: "From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction - you must stay at home. "Because the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I’ve got to hand it to Boris. He could have gone full blown Italian on us, but instead he’s gone down the German route which at least allows the sensible amongst us who live on our own to still get some exercise and keep our distance.

Malinga the Swinga Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If you compare him to a certain president, he actually sounded statesmanlike and authorative. We are announcing lockdown whereas US consider relaxing rules because money is more important than lives in the mighty USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Not in any way a conservative voter, however I have to say credit to Boris Johnson.

Brighton Jambo Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 NS saying the same as Boris but surprised she said going out for food shouldn’t be more than once a day, surely you don’t need to be going food shopping every day unless in exceptional circumstances.

We don't have the numbers of police and army to enforce what you want, unless of course you want to encourage us to start phoning police when we see someone outside.
