tonyshooter Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Looks like the Irish plan. Phase one gives no mention of a subs 5 km restriction ( this is currently 2 km in Ireland ), so how do we arrive atย 5 km before it is increased to 20 km as mentioned in phase 2 ? ย And surely a UK Government would quote in miles rather than kilometres.

Scully Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I genuinely think we ( mainland UK, or England to be more precise) will be in lockdown for at least another two weeks come Thursday. I may be wrong, but I canโt think why we wouldnโt be.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is have the media done a good enough job "Well bad enough job"ย to Force the governments hand. Rush something through, and put at risk health and any good we have achieved so far.

DUNKS Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Never mind the Irish workers or our brickies and garden centres. When can I go for a clay shoot.
