Have to say you have been really fair minded during this. Traditionally you are a remainer and a liberal : labour voter I know but you have been incredibly reasonable towards the government unlike many others.

Do you have a file on everyone on here,unbelievable.

Let’s strongly agree to disagree. You have shown your feelings very evidently for several weeks. Stay safe.

And you have shown yours, no matter what the government do, how dare anybody hold them to account.

Does anyone have any figures on how many people have died by age group?

The numbers under the age of 40 are very small. Someone just told me and I was shocked.

Im not sure why your mrs is confused by that.

She's not confused mate, just flapping :-)

Telling people they can go out more go to the beach and have a game of golf on the way home is fucking stupid.Surely we should stay as it is now get some kids back to school when possible, then maybe parents will be able to work.

It seems a bit back to front in what has been said in tonight's statement.I understand the country needs to get back to work the economy etc. But as difficult as it is making these decisions, i fear the government has fucked up.

At least I don’t pretended otherwise like he just tried to. I am a staunch conservative and proud of it. Doing their absolute best. Managed the peak offered unprecedented financial support and trying to get the economy going again so more don’t die of non covid issues than the disease itself. It’s easy to throw stones from the outside.

I don’t care how many times I say it - can you imagine McDonnell, Abbott and corbyn?

Dont understand the confusion around going to work. The government never told you you "cant work". The only reason you've been sat at home the last 2 months is because your business was told not to open, therefore you had no work to go to.

If your company contacts you to say they are reopening, then go back to work, if they don't, stay off. Simple.

equally there’s people that NEED to go back to work - for some industry’s like construction that is possible if they really stick to social distancing and he made that clear tonight - whatever steps are taken it will be stressful for a lot of people. There’s simply no winning for the Government at this stage of the virus - and yes, part of that reason is because of the Goverments slow response to the crises - but right now, I believe they are really trying to get the balance right in protecting people’s healths and the economy - and it’s clear it’s a monumental task

So you don't have questions at all ? It was that clear ?

No but there is a 50 page document and further clarity will be issued during the week. Of course there will be questions.
