There are a few heavily opinionated people on here, maybe you should have more of a say and get involved in politics rather than just being armchair  gobshites.
I’m not a great fan of BoJo but he just can’t win can he , damned if he does damned if he don’t . For what it’s worth I actually think they are doing most things right , you can’t legally stop people seeing their mothers Scarface just like that, you ask and advise them, Even the pub closures are being done by consent , if they want to close the few that are non-consenting then they have to get emergency legislation.

Keep safe and take notice of the health advice that is being delivered by the politicians

Can you legally ask doctors to decide whether to choose to put patient A OR patient B on the final ventilator available in the ICU overspill ward in the hospital car park, or can you just ask and advise them?

Asking for a loved one

Perhaps he cannot win and I am sure he is following scientific advice (scientists do not all agree !), but telling folks stay in then saying go to the park or a walk seems like madness, Isolating the most vulnerable seems a good idea but even the advice around this seems unclear. He is not going to be taking these decisions lightly or personally but he does need to step up and show a bit more leadership and firmness.
A full explanation of our strategy as why it is so different to Italy and Spain would also help

I really thought that you were brighter than this Rancido. Your example from Australia just underlined Ska’s point. Governments need to take a strong line because there are so many dickheads in the population. The first duty of any government is to protect its people. When people are acting in a manner that threatens other people’s health and life, they should be stopped.

I have just listened to the latest statemented from Downing Street with the question and answer session by the PM and one of the chief medical officers. I suggest anybody listens to it and take heed of self distancing. It's the mass gatherings outside that is the main problem and surely people can understand that. I'm sure if more Draconian restriction hadn been imposed earlier then the outcry from the population would have been immense and asking why a more responsible attitude from Joe Public wasn't tried first.

If people cannot be persuaded to follow 'advice and suggestions' voluntarily then an upgrade to 'compulsory' and legal enforcement (by physical force) is clearly necessary and quickly

Streets patrolled by armed soldiers and increased police powers might sort some of the idiots who simply don't care about anyone but themselves. The odd squaddie at the supermarket door wouldn't go amiss either (people are more closely packed there at present than at any football match)..

Not a 'British' reaction? No it's not but then a killer virus sweeping the nation and the world is not an everyday situation either.

Rather some selfish twit gets arrested or his skull cracked than any of us lose someone precious to us.

No you can’t

Quoted from Yoda

It’s all a hoax 500 000 died of flu last winter so far 10000 with conovirous.
Don’t everything you see on the news or some politician tells you.

I didn't know David Icke posted on here.

He’s had long enough to see the evidence that plenty of people are irresponsible. Just fecking get on with it. As all our neighbours are in lockdown the sooner we do it ourselves the better it’ll be.

Anything else is just prolonging the problem. No sensible person would object. Only feckwits who fetishise freedom of choice (not against freedom of choice myself, just people choosing reckless acts - like dangerous driving).

For all you know maybe us armchair gobshites do get involved in politics in whatever way.

I never trust Johnson whenever he opens his mouth.
