In France, according to BBC, you need to fill in a form to go outside explaining your reasons, even to walk your dog. I wonder if there are some creative entries in the pet name box?
Quite optimistic to think our path will be very different.
My boss lives in France and he had to do this. Very strict but he seems the importance. Quite optimistic to think our path will be very different.
Lucky the weather has been good and he can work on his garden and house renovation, but you would struggle if you lived in an apartment.

The government is a shambles too wishy washy, too weak, no security. My mum is 70 still asked to work if she didn't she wouldn't be paid.
Boris is looking after big companies, his mates and the rest, well if your old or poor them sorry you are either dead or bankrupt.
Not enough testing, no enough ventilators, not enough beds, no enough planning. A first world country happy to tax taxes but when you want help, f
k you.
Come on then Jeremy, what is your plan?Boris is looking after big companies, his mates and the rest, well if your old or poor them sorry you are either dead or bankrupt.

It would be interesting to know how many of the vast majority of people who would have been at the pub this weekend but as they were closed decided to meet their friends at someones house instead for a drinking session...several on my street it seems and it will only get worst as the weather gets better.

Boggles my mind that these idiots don't look at Italy's death toll numbers. We are pretty much matching them if you take into account how we are two weeks behind.
Just proves how many selfish and arrogant people we have in this country.
We are not the same as Italy though....(not saying you are wrong. Italy defo had the cards stacked against them though!)Just proves how many selfish and arrogant people we have in this country.

k you.I live in a small village in Wiltshire that has benefits of less commuting and more space than some other areas. Yesterday the play parks were full, an atmosphere like a public holiday 
I'm a libertarian at heart but feel a formal and rigorously enforced lock down is needed in the UK ASAP as people are not really getting the message. I work for a company that has employees all over Europe and my Italian and Spanish colleagues are sending messages begging us to isolate ourselves as much as possible now.

Exactly. I don't usually watch ITV but Morgan was just being stupid. Couldn't believe that Hancock was not really allowed to answer the questions raised.
Morgan has a very obvious 'agenda' for Boris and anyone associated with his govt since his demand for interview was 'rejected' during the election campaign. It's quite clear what the issue is here - it has nothing to do with 'holding to account', it's purely personal and all about Morgan acting like a fking spoilt child.there was an interesting tweet from him yesterday asking why "Boris" wasn't doing something about people going out shopping and crowding around the tills, saying that it was irresponsible.. The first response was a copy of his tweet from a week or so earlier, advising people that it "was a good idea to go and but 14 days worth of food"
He's a complete hypocrite who cares only about himself and how he thinks it will make him look after this is all over..

Yes I do think it's needed now. What's annoying me is the fact that don't people want this to be over with sooner rather than later!? If we all did the right thing we'd have this thing done with in a few weeks hopefully, but no, lets all go to the bloody seaside. tts.
Come on then, explain how self isolating and potentially a lock down will make this be done in a few weeks?ts.Absolutely no idea what flattening the curve means.

I'm astonished that the p**ck even has a job after the couple of scandals he's been involved with. I don't know why anyone would want to listen to his brand of "journalism". Bloke has always had an agenda and seems to be a petty little aking spoilt child.hole to boot.Sambucket said:

The beeb are correct, there are several categories, going out for work which can't be done from home, to buy necessary good from the shops allowed to remain open, for health reasons, for imperative family reasons - to assist vulnerable people or babysitting, for brief personal trips close to your home for individual physical activities but not collective sports and also for exercise / feeding of animals.I printed off my form this morning, went to the local market 5km away, got my roast chicken and sausages, visited the chemist, then on to the small supermarket where we waited to be admitted individually whilst passing the time chatting in the sunshine before going in to buy everything I wanted, cheese, eggs, meat, wine, more wine and if I'd wanted toilet roll or sanitiser, they were there to buy.
If the UK goes into this kind of restriction, I wouldn't want to be there at the mo as I think it will melt down.
