Of course they will be.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
There obviously won't be police on every street so I imagine you can weave in and out of your spiraling housing estate for your morning/evening stroll for half an hour. Sticking to your local co-op should be o.k aswell.
They'll obviously focus on major cities and towns and make sure they're ghost towns for periods of days and weeks.

Why are the boarders still open?? I don’t understand
Yeah of course. All the stores are open. Same with banks, pharmacies, gas stations, daycares, restaurants (take out only). You can do almost everything except for group gatherings, go to the gym, get a haircut or sit at the pub.
I tend to agree. I think something like the form we're having to use here is needed - you might not get stopped, but if you do and you don't have a completed form on you and ID, you'll be in trouble. If you're out for some reason not permitted, you're in even more trouble. It makes you think twice about everything.
ffs just read the whole thingRepatriation
Hairdressers stayed open in Spain, classified as essential due to hygiene reasons, but their government got a load of stick for it, nowhere else seems to have classified Hairdressers as essential so probably will be closed here
Luckily for me I gave up social contact for Lent.
Easiest Lent ever.
Easiest Lent ever.
It makes no difference now but also probably to help people stranded abroad to return to the UK.
You can't catch Jock Fever ffs stop acting like it's a real thing.
Border to where? UK is an island and then can just suspend flights, ferries and any other transport that connects outside.
It's all part of the messaging from government. Calling it a lockdown underlines the severity and importance of the restrictions in a way that "strengthening measures" doesn't. They have to try and drive home that things are serious.
It's refreshing to see a leader who delivers a short address. Our president talked for ages.
I don’t think they’d allow Boris to be on the television for that long to be honest.
So my parents can return home.
So you can't go to work? I'm self employed. What am I supposed to live on for 3 weeks?
Thanks for all the replies to my question guys.
I run a takeaway service at the moment, will I have to close tonight?

He tends to start waffling and making stuff up to fill silences when given time to talk, so they try to keep him brief
Not an option right now.
My gf is trying to find out with her company what's going on too, and so far silence. They are all talking about still travelling in.
This is fecking shambolic and we've known for weeks this was coming, so why is it still so up in the air?
Expect to see a shortage of hair clippers in the shops. And wigs.
My sis is meant to be moving house this weekend? How’s she going to get round that? Assume chances of her renting a moving van are slim?
Takeaways and food delivery services are considered essential I believe, so would remain open
Relax no one is going to see it.
Our prez always looks like he's about to break out in tears during briefs about the virus. He's a realistic guy.
I'm not really sure how much benefit you'd get from closing all borders when the virus is already spreading through the population like wildfire. It's not like huge numbers will be travelling anyway.
Have Italy suspended all flights? They certainly didn't when they first went into "lockdown" so it's not particularly surprising if the UK doesn't either. I suspect it sounds like a more effective measure than it actually is at this point.
Plus you also have a land border with Ireland which is rather tricky to close off.
We're in exactly the same position. Brought everything forward by a couple of days. Very, very stressful.
Get her moved in tonight
I'm somewhat relieved tbh. Removes any ambiguity. You can go and buy food or collect medicine, go for a short walk or run and you can go to work if you have to. That's it. No excuses from people now to start gathering in their hordes at parks, beach etc sharing a chippy together and having a family/friends picnic otherwise police will have the right to intervene.
They’ve had the keys to their new place, but will struggle to get their furniture from their rental to their new house!
Hopefully ireland does the same although the place was a ghostland today when i went out shopping for food. Aldi was practically empty.
They can't now. It all stops tomorrow.
I wish the announcement was made more like this:
Surely its only key workers though?
Can i visit my GF in Northern Ireland now?
Whats the chances of picking up this virus from a pizza take away? I am afraid someone infected will breathe on the pizza and then pass it on to me when i eat the pizza. Should i just cook my own food at home?
Yeah true... Some risks are worth it...
But be interesting as I think the first few days will be complete confusion. People pushing it to see and enforcement in some cases over stepping or doing nothing in others. Will take a week before people really get to grips with it I feel/click it's for the greater good
Thanks mate, that's put my mind at ease.
