Hello, dear
I hope Trump sees that and talks at one of his things about the important research his top men are doing into getting faerie folk to kill the virus there

sky1's coverage of the announcement is called 'lifting the lockdown'. why does the media want to kill the british public?

Apparently that’s okay as long as you’re not with anyone you don’t live with.

Can’t see this backfiring at all, no way.

So can we now see friends as long as we obey social distancing? Ie: can I go sit in my friends garden now?

Yeah I get that, but there’s still loads that can’t go to work, like the entire hospitality industry, they’ll need the furlough pay extending.

Of course they’ll actually just get forced to pick fruit and live in a caravan for a bit.

From Wednesday he said that you'll be able to travel to exercise, as many times as you like, and that you can sit in the park too. But, only with members of your own household.

Well of course you can do that. When have you not been able to? If the plod move you on, just go round the corner and wait for them to go away. Whether or not that's a good idea, I'll leave up to you.

Just don't let the alcohol dull your state of constant, ninja-like alertness! That cunning virus could be waiting to pounce at any time!

Technically you can and this is why there's going to be a second wave of infections

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
The police aren't going round parks and asking people if they are related, if that's what you mean. You can absolutely go out and have a drink with friends, but currently the advice remains "members of households only" I'm pretty sure, so technically you'd be disobeying.

I saw some police going up the street a few weeks back ask a couple out walking if they were from the same household and they were like yup and the police were like alright then carry on. I also saw some police on horses on a different day.

By working you make sure our Tory overlords' investments don't crash.

By not visiting your co-workers homes or playing sports, our Tory overlords can pretend they're keeping the lockdown, appearing to the voters they are Tough On The Virus (but not tough enough to have to increase taxes to pay for longer furloughs).

What a ridiculously vague and wishy washy load of bullshit to drop on Sunday evening, just in time for everyone to have to interpret it for the new week.

For all the bullshit about VE day this weekend, if WW2 was to happen to this country right now we'd be speaking German even before we surrendered!!
