I'm assuming it's work that you can't possibly do at home?

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?
Nuclear bombs have a larger spread than 2 meters. I'm telling you; Boris Law.
Stay at home basically, unless you're a key worker.
feck sake haven't had a haircut in a month.
The tube is less busy. The reason you have seen pictures of more crowded trains is because the service has been significantly reduced, with trains maybe one every 15 minutes on some branch lines. The service has also been hit because staff have fallen ill.
Churchill had his "fight them on the beaches" speech
Boris had his "you are a bunch of twats that can't listen so have forced me to do this" speech
Boris had his "you are a bunch of twats that can't listen so have forced me to do this" speech
So basically, people still crowding the tubes going to work. Yeah, real lockdown.
A lot of work isn’t possible from home and employers are still asking people to come in. There’s been no assurances for the self employed so they’ll still be out as weve seen today with the packed trains etc.

I agree with the sentiment, it's an important step to take. The language used was still too friendly in my opinion. Some folk need it painted in black and white in order not to be twats.
A fine if you are caught in groups bigger than 2 that are not in your household.
It might be less busy but all it takes is 1 person on that tube to be a carrier and they'll all get it.
That could mean thousands of extra infected people. It sucks but all tubes should be closed.
Was wondering why it was 3 weeks instead of 2 or a month. Three weeks today is Easter Monday so makes sense to have a look at the figures then.
Again.
You going for a buzz cut or a top knot?
Some of the medical supplies that South Carolina was sent by the federal government from the national stockpile were fecking expired(I laugh so I don’t punch something)
Still sounds a bit wishy-washy, particularly the one exercise a day part. How are they going to keep tabs on that? Unless you get stopped by the same copper in the same day or something.
Until they've got the military patrolling the street, people are still going to just go on as normal.

Yip.
I've got no issue staying in but happy I can take a walk and fortunate that I back onto country so can go for an hour walk and doubt I'll see 3-4 people. Anyone I see I walk across the road from.
The rest of it though, I couldn't care how much we're being asked to give up (and I'd give up walks if asked to). The alternative is peoples lives.... it's really not a tough ask.
The only thing I wish Boris had done was take a tougher line on people who abuse it. Hopefully mandatory fine
My birthday is Easter monday. Hopefully we can all celebrate!
"Lockdown" is a meaningless term. It's a strengthening of measures and there could be yet further strengthening of measures. At what point along that scale people start describing it as a "lockdown" is rather arbitrary.
Nicola Sturgron just said essential work so did Sky earlier.
From today people coming back to Lithuania (apart from lorry drivers and the likes) are going to be quarantined in gov. designed places for two weeks. Also, any recent travellers must isolate themselves at home for 14 days as well or face fines and convictions. Pretty strong measures. We’ve been under a lockdown for a week already, hopefully, we can slowdown the spread and totally eliminate it in the month.

No-one will see the results, so you can have some fun and give yourself a fun new do!
It's my birthday today. God daughter born yesterday followed by Boris Law being announced today as rabid dogs are released into the streets to disperse the crowds outside Lidl. The best of both worlds.
No, don't congregate with people who aren't in your household was the message.
Does anyone know if barbershops etc. will be forced to close?
SA also announced a 3 week lockdown. I guess it's the new "2 weeks"
It's not. You will get in trouble if you are in groups that are not your household.
Definitely. Was looking to see if dog walking was included and saw a bunch of people on social media saying they'll still walk the dog two to six times a day. Some quotes:
where are people going to go if there's nothing open?
Are they essential.
Did my own hair today. Instant regret.
They can't but hopefully the threat of being reprimanded will put enough people off from taking the piss.
I was about to give it a try and then my better sense prevailed even if my regular haircut is a 1mm buzz.
Obviously, haircuts aren't essential.
Sure, strengthening of measures is fine.
I don’t see how anyone can call the permission of hundreds of people pushed up against each other without ventilation any kind of lockdown, but maybe that’s just me. We all see the world differently.
