There is no restriction in non flight travel. There can’t be really it’s impractical to do it with goods drivers delivering perishable and manufacturing goods.

I actually know someone who drove home last week through Europe to somewhere in Latvia and I don’t know the route but he got through the borders

Interesting you said that. I was thinking of doing a road trip to Europe.

So guess I can get away with that then?

But no, he's definitely not lazy and definitely doesn't mind being scrutinised.


Starmer will pick him apart with ease today.

Expert after expert going in two footed on the government this morning...


Dr Chaand Nagpaul, chairman of the British Medical Association (BMA), has been speaking to BBC Breakfast. He said he did not know “on what basis” the government had decided to relax the lockdown rules, as there is still “a considerable amount” of the virus in the community .

“At the moment we have more people dying on Saturday than we had at the beginning of the lockdown,” he said. “We’ve also seen about 4,000 new cases every day over the weekend, and that’s just a fraction of the real number of new cases because of the limited testing so there’s a considerable amount of community circulation of the virus going on.

If we now allow the public to go to local parks in an unlimited sense, and to go outdoors ... what we’ve not heard is how the government will enforce social distancing and how it will avoid a whole neighbourhood playing in a park, with footballs moving from one group to another, and spreading the disease. So, I’m really concerned that there is no clarity."

I don’t think so as holiday travel is banned in Europe . He had a permit to say where he was going which I assume allowed through borders

85 new cases in Seoul, South Korea prompts government into rethink as it orders reclosure of bars and restaurants. 5 new cases also confirmed in Wuhan.

It's not going away overnight and encouraging the public to ease vigilance will prolong the misery.

As if they haven't fucked it up enough already.....

To be fair they just reopened their bars without any real social distancing thus 1 man can go to 5 bars and clubs and they have to chase down over 2000 people

I'm concerned how my work will choose to interpret this. Half the management seem keen to go back because they're bored and want a chat(!) the other half seem more cautious, but indecisive.

I fear we'll be hurtling back for no reason.

I'm in the office right now and it's still extremely quiet, but there are a few more people knocking about. And there was a bit of traffic on the A45/46 this morning at 05:30.

My worry is your sports directs of this world and their ilk will be all over this getting people back in.

It was on sky news. Apparently Raab said it in an.interview but I didn't see the interview.
I'm desperate for a break but to be honest if they open up the UK tourist industry and straying home helps gives it a boost I'm ok with that.

If that is the case I wish they would make these things official to give us a chance of getting some money back

Raab has said it's wednesday for going back to work anyway now. Phew.

And I wasn't strictly talking about shops to be fair.

Piers Morgan is in his element this morning.

Raab refused to go on for an interview, but went on Radio 4 saying you could meet both parents. The government then came out since and said that is incorrect, and that you can only meet one parent. In the park and not in their big garden.

What the fuck is this?

You know, I've been fairly tolerant of the government. Who, after all, wants to be in charge at a time like this? You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't... but there's no excuse for the on the hoof nonsensical messaging they've been doing the past week, and the determination to avoid scrutiny. Their consultation, as ever, seems to be non-existent, and their ability is even less.

I'm hoping once he's had a lie down he may come up with some critical thinking.

In these strange times, anything is possible!

More likely is that other countries will refuse flights from the UK as we’ll probably be the last to get over it

They've had time to plan this properly. It wasn't even a live speech yesterday. I just can't get my head around it, it feels like a social experiment.

"No change right now, but here is what we are planning"

Then crack on with the rest of it. Easy. Pay me.

Yes there is more information coming today, but so far that is even more confused.
