Boris Johnson tonight announced a lockdown plan to stem the spread of the coronavirus in the UK as he told the nation to stay at home. People will only be allowed to leave their home for the following 'very limited' purposes:
>Shopping for basic necessities as infrequently as possible. >One form of exercise a day. >Any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person. >Travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary.
Meanwhile, the PM has announced a ban on: >Meeting with friends. >Meeting with family members you do not live with. >All weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies but excluding funerals. >All gatherings of more than two people in public.
The PM said the police will have the powers to enforce the lockdown measures through fines and dispersing gatherings.
To ensure people comply the government is also: >Closing all shops selling non-essential goods. >Closing all libraries, playground, outdoor gyms and places of worship. >Parks will remain open for exercise, but will be patrolled.
Imagine if someone had told you five years ago that before long you'd be distracted from the UK crashing out of the EU by Prime Minister Boris Johnson announcing a nationwide lockdown in response to a glabal pandemic. Fucking mental days.
Was hoping to go tomorrow but with the new announcement the supermarkets will be heaving, even the corner shop next to my house is out. When will the shops be back to normal

So can someone summarise what powers the police now have? as far as I can tell they don't actually have any new powers and bojo is talking shite
>People spend years complaining that the tories want to take our rights away and turn the country into a police state >They just fucking do it >Everyone is totally cool with it
If lefties were truly anti-establishment they would be protesting this.

The boomers are the absolute worst. Everything is basically for their benefit and they still go out and ignore it. Truly the worst generation.
Jace Ward
If you’re not a key worker you’re just baggage really lads and you ought to seriously consider offing yourselves.
Jaxon Ramirez
Use an app called Sweatcoin cos it pays out minimal amounts of money for just regular walking, and as soon as Boris made his announcement I got a notification saying "Test for Stay at Home".
Does this mean that they'll be working with GCHQ to track my GPS, and that I'll be getting a visit from the rozzers if I go for two walks per day instead of the state-mandated one?
Logan Phillips
phone them in the morning.
Caleb Bell
whatever the fuck they want, as usual, also expect to be chipped if a vaccine ever comes out (will probably be full of side effects because fuck testing it turns out isolating everyone for years doesn't work who knew)
Jace Jackson
why is the CFR so much higher than the (((official))) death rate? 14% including china's bullshit numbers, 31% without them and 71% for the UK. we're looking at 40 million deaths in the UK alone.
One time I was in Worcester and some chavs got lippy with me outside tesco, oh well.
Jeremiah Rogers
what is this
Alexander Russell
yes, you're an idiot thinking all roads dont lead to the gov.
Nathaniel Lee
I heard it's good for the plants
Jackson Sullivan
Can I go to the corner shop (1min walk) to buy alcohol and fags?
Aiden Flores
I'm going first thing tomorrow at 6AM to tesco and sainsbury's (London). It won't be great but as long as they stocked up overnight it should be alright (not a guarantee at all). A lot of people won't know about the lockdown until tomorrow. Wednesday-Friday will be even worse than tomorrow I think.
Jeremiah Hill
Yes but it counts as your one wank per day.
Carter Nelson
Then you go to work unless work say it's cancelled.
Jayden James
If you don't have a garden, can you do it in the frozen food aisle? Asking for a friend
Matthew Williams
>can branch into the most variety of specialised work >more interesting and respectable than any other trade >can actually take pride and appreciate your finished product >private cash in hand work always available for chippies
Colton Stewart
alcohol and fags are essentials so I'd say yes
Oliver Bennett
They're essentials so I imagine so
Joshua Murphy
Non-essential workers are a drain on the economy. Should we just let them die?
Don't go in the morning, it'll be bedlam. If you go about 4-5pm I'd bet money it'll be a ghost town >t. securitypleb
Dominic Ramirez
They're just seething that they're running out of ways to go further left than the government.
Lucas Mitchell
they come under essentials
Logan Howard
here's hoping all the muzzies ignore Boris and keep going to the mosque
Grayson Robinson
>no mention of floor layers Where do I rate la?
Samuel Perez
bro just hold a survey to show people don't want quara oh wait the police will arrest you for gathering
Hudson Morris
Crashing parliament with no survivors.
Bentley Diaz
But how will I track my 10km runs now? It really is a pickle
What were you doing in Worcester? That's my neck of the woods. Have very high opinions about the whole county, but recently re-visited Worcester itself and realised it's a bit of a shithole. Rural parts of the county are lovely though
Aaron Brown
You can go shopping once a day, and if you forget something and the rozzers catch you going twice they have the power to summarily execute you on the spot and feed your corpse to their dogs, and their horses too if the horses want any.
Christopher Kelly
i'm on the happening comedown now knackering stuff
