Nah. Children need to get out for an hour, dogs need a walk / shit.
The rest of country should be in proper lockdown.

So in that case what is your opinion on the current measures - which are even more lax?
It's a tougher measure, and that's needed at this point.
The state of people on here, just pull together for feck sake, sad as feck armchair warriors on here who think a roll of bog paper will help them, tragic how insufferable think they know so much. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are the first in the lines for Tesco. Anyone playing party politics should really just piss off.
Yeah, the language was far too friendly. Needs to just say 'Lockdown, any groups of greater than 2 seen in public will be dispersed, so dont be a cnut'.
The twats that have been ruining this for everyone need it spelled out for them, they dont read between lines. Stay the feck inside.
Is special
Good point. That makes a lot of sense.
Pochettino would have got as far as the front door then tripped up and dropped everything.
The problem with the idea is making them all go out at the same time as you would be making it worse. It's the same with food shopping - maybe different times for individuals to go shopping / exercise would work better. Each person could be given an hour slot throughout the day / every other day.

I think people assume a building site is like just building a house where there might be four or 5 blokes on the job which may be true. But I'm talking about huge contract jobs for the big firms in the country where the sites are massive. I've worked on a few myself years ago, so I know how mad it must be right now. They'll 100% all go into work until it's made illegal or the contractors shut them down, which they won't as they'd lose too much money.
I didn't think it was a set hour, just have some but one lot?
People talking about going for multiple walks or long walks as some clever loophole, but really, there's very few places left to actually walk to as all the parks and shops are closed, so how many people will really be doing that?
The main win for now would be dispersing larger groups of people and stopping people hanging around in public places rather than stopping a few people doing too many laps around the block, as those things are actually enforceable

What about exercise that you mentioned?
Fact is, people will moan about Boris Johnson, and I feel this should have been put in place a couple of weeks back however, its actually quite tough to think of a viable idea that will suit all parties.
I'm a mechanic and I'm working tomorrow.
The problem is I need parts to fit, that means people in offices to call, delivery drivers to deliver said parts, if you close the parts stores then mechanics can't fix cars.
I said two designated hours in my original post, so they wouldn't all be out at the same time. Make it 3, whatever.
Point is - it needs to be tougher.
Children below 16 with an adult and / or dog walkers are the only people who should be out for designated times - everyone else should be in lockdown.
Listen mate, if I don't get there tomorrow, those 2 pairs of Donnay joggers for £13 are going to be sold out, gone I tell ya!'Mike Ashley has declared Sports Direct an ‘essential service’ so that he can keep his stores open.'
We have been told to come in as normal as they are BAU.
I said exercise for CHILDREN and walking of dogs. And I stand by it.
In fact, I think there's a good chance that it'll be the next 'idea' that gets implemented.
I'll fight you for the last Lonsdale wellies.
Honestly you don't need to cycle or run on the road to exercise. This is not for ever. There is a Royal Marine Commando 7 sets of exercises you can do inside a room. So all this talk of exercising on the road etc is not absolutely required in these kinds of situations.
They've shut down non-essential stores but the same rules apply to everything outside of retail: work from home unless unless you can't. There will still be millions of people going to work.
I for one am quite happy about it maybe we can save a lot of lives now, this is what they meant about drip feeding
honestly people just like complaining about anything 
Really glad someone mentioned this. Having lots of excercise is good, but the minimum you really need is a short amount each day which can be done at home. Too many people think excercise means you MUST go to the gym or you MUST run. These are good activities but aren't the only way to keep active.
Yes. Saying a week would' ve made a difference (imo) and I'd maybe have agreed.Why are you suggesting that commenting on measures introduced by the government is "politicising" the pandemic?
I never claimed to be an expert. Would retracting my initial statement of "weeks" and saying that these measures are one week too late be any better for you? I suspect not and yet it's me that's apparently being political...
See. Some people haven't got agendas just opinions.
SSP and deferred tax payments until January as far as I'm aware which obviously doesn't cover mortgages etc. If you don't have decent savings you're fecked basically.
Very good
It's not a necessity that children have to exercise outside. Walking of dogs I agree with, though.
Unless you're Boris himself, I can't see how set times be a good idea due to the said reasons above.
'Mike Ashley has declared Sports Direct an ‘essential service’ so that he can keep his stores open.'
Genuinely thought this was you taking the piss. Then saw it on Twitter.
What a piece of shit. He should be prosecuted for manslaughter.
My Missus and kids did joe wicks this morning at 0900. he’ll be there same time every morning on YouTube.
So yeah you can do that in the front room............ my wife was struggling rest of the day so I think it’ll work you out!
Feels like more like a pre lockdown. I don't think people are going to obey this.
"Maybe some people shop at Waitrose. We shop at Asda. I don't complain. This is reality. But I cannot hide my feeling, I cannot lie. Our shopping will have problems. If it's not possible, is not possible. There's nobody to blame. And with the difficulties in the market, was very difficult. If not possible we keep working with what we have. But our shopping will have problems."
The issue is they'll get fined or worse..
It's actually true
Domestic incidents have already increased for obvious reasons. Sadly crime doesn't rest.
It's actually true
God I dont even know if you're joking at this point I'm so confused!
