Tbh, the teaching unions have got very little power. If the government and school management want schools open schools will be open, PPE or no PPE.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about exercising as much as you want. Who was actually timing it before? What difference does it make either way. Most people didn't do any before anyway!

The message seems to be that construction workers should go back to work, on foot, to make money for people who don't care if they live or die.

My understanding was always that if social Distancing could be maintained, then the activity could continue.  It is obvious that was not possible in a lot of the hospitality industry  and a lot of factories that have a high density of workers. Our local pub is operating  a 'phone order take away service and some pubs are selling take away beer - that's fine.

If social distancing can't be attained then it will not be possible to resume activities  - and this was maybe why they  stopped in the first place.

I can't see that much has changed to be honest - but concede that the message has become  less straightforward.

Important to note though that you are now allowed to go out and sunbathe etc, and drive to exercise.

We’ll suddenly see parks and national parks getting much much busier. 

Its a bit of a sweeping statement , surely each school has to have the capability to keep social distancing?

For Christ's sake. Most employers won't be allowing office workers back willy nilly! It's not a free for all.

My work won't be re-opening any time soon until they have proper consultation on distancing etc.

But eventually, yes, London will have to manage public transport and travel to work. The planning should already be under way.

Not much has changed I'd agree - personally I think it was a waste of time watching it .

If there is only 3years going back then social distancing should be easy to sort

Deeply concerned that people are being asked to go to work tomorrow, but avoid public transport, and before workplace safety measures have been introduced. Too many families tonight will face a sleepless night faced with an impossible choice. We need clarity on this urgently

Boyle is tw*t. I'd cheerfully hit him round the head with a hard object. So nasty he should be a Tory.

And anyway many constructions workers have been in all along anyway. Probably one of the easier industries to do so given the level of protective equipment required

Have you ever been in a Reception class?

UK exempts France from quarantine measures

"No quarantine measures would apply to travellers coming from France at this stage; any measures on either side would be taken in a concerted and reciprocal manner."

Yes agree with that , its clear some years are done until September id say 

That's hilarious for someone who is one of the worst armchair critics on this Forum.

At least my comments are rooted in the science and reality. You ought to try it sometime.

You can go to the beech I think.

Boris will go into more detail tomorrow in the commons.

I assume that walking along the beach if it's local to you would be acceptable.  But that excludes driving to the coast to sunbathe, sit on the beach and eat and drink.
