Coronavirus: Public should 'act responsibly' as England's lockdown is eased, says PM

Mr Johnson announced the upcoming changes to lockdown measures last week, along with an easing of social distancing rules from 2m to"one metre plus".

He will praise the"heroic efforts" of the businesses to get ready for Saturday, but will add:"The success of these businesses, the livelihoods of those who rely on them, and ultimately the economic health of the whole country is dependent on every single one of us acting responsibly. We must not let them down.

So who is going to the pub tomorrow?

With a rise in Covid19 cases in 36 English local authority areas already (Leicester being at the top) and now the pubs are reopening, this doesn't bode well.

OK for father to fly to Greece though

Of course they should, but will they? 😳

Just like they all did on the beaches?. Open the pubs at 0600 in the morning and asking the idiots to act responsible is actually very irresponsible of the government. The police and the poor NHS staff are going to back to full capacity of all the drunken muppets in the A and E.

Act responsibly and open from 6am! Good one 🙄

They don’t as has been proven with their protests street parties and not sticking to guidance by travelling and that goes for people at the top who started the “ if they can do it I can” attitude with no recourse for their actions

The public generally don’t know how to act responsibly. You only need to look at the recent protests, visits to the beaches and beauty spots to see that.

And his father goes off to Greece via Bulgaria. Shameful.

Barnard Castle, shake everyone's hand....

You'll see

Yep we're doomed.

He should start at home then with his Dad and Dominic Cummings and set an example!

Should, but won't. The thickie chavs will still crassly profess it was their right to freedom.

As responsibly as they were on Bournemouth beach? It’s not IF a second wave is coming but when.

“Act responsibly”, says man with with many children (we don’t know how many), who promised £350 million per week for the NHS. ‘Act responsibly’, says man whose chief advisor is a prime example of acting irresponsibly and put lives at risk, but took no responsibility. Charlatans!

Or you could open nothing and be totally sensible

Maybe the public will act responsibly if the government did.

Cummings

We saw how responsibly some of them acted in Bournemouth. Boris Johnson & his government must be held to account. The seeds to start blaming the very people who put them in power, plus the ones who didn't, for this catastrophe have already been well & truly sown.

Don't have unprotected sex in the toilet, unless you are wearing a mask.

Act responsibly, and the British public in the same sentence...is this a spitting image sketch..🤦‍♂️

Did he say this before or after he said go out and enjoy yourselves?

Haha a majority of the public haven't been acting responsibly since this whole thing started. Now the reigns are being let off you think its gonna change. Wow

Well. All the stupidity over lockdown rules appear to come from London folk breaking rules. Pub shop. Sex dens in London south and beach and moor bards

Just like they did at the beaches in Brighton and Bournemouth. Oh dear.

Brits, pubs, alcohol, sensible, responsible.. All words not normally appearing in the same sentence.

Only an idiot aka BorisJohnson would go live for pubs, restaurants and UK holidays on a Saturday and even worse the same Saturday. It will be chaos, everyone will be off to the coast. But what does he care? Stanley is safe in Greece, just sacrifice those in coastal areas.

First step of shifting the blame.

'Please go out and have drinks and act responsibly' I'm sure, Sunday morning, we won't have any bad news anywhere in the UK.

How about the government acts responsibility and doesn't ease lockdown too early? Do they know nothing about human behaviour? Tories don't care about problems, solutions or the reality of humanity, they just want to ensure they have someone else to blame.

BBCPolitics Public should act responsibly, maybe the government should act responsibly

BBCPolitics Have you acted responsible Boris. NO you have acted like a total fool so don't talk. And you opened pubs on a day of celebration. Your an arsenal as per normal. 🤡

Bournemouth

Like they did in Bournemouth 🤔 Of course they won’t - they’re incapable! Too many selfish people who think they know it all and can’t be told carnage

Simples. The public don't know HOW to act responsibly because they have impaired common sense, or none. The government WONT act responsibly because only 'the economy' matters to them. Recipe for another spectacular fail!

Why would they! It’s been hyped up across the media as ‘super Saturday’. I cannot begin to imagine the levels of carnage there will be in some places.

Gonna be a blood bath, with a puke shower after.

This is either going to be a disaster in waiting, or a hurricane waiting to happen, why Saturday, why not a Monday, all the meatheads will be out in the towns and city's getting pissed, havoc for our emergency services, utterly bollocks.

Haha, that's a good joke Boris, how long has he lived in this country and he still doesn't know what people are like?

BBCPolitics Tell that to your father

Of course they won’t , and will spoil things for rest of us

I'd of said the MEDIA have been the most irresponsible throughout the lockdown

Meanwhile children..... and MPs will return in full to their ‘workplace’ when?

Yep like BorisJohnson father flying to Greece via Bulgaria, and his sidekick Cummings testing his eyesight out while 'blind' 260 miles from home with a 4 year old in the back of his car!

Like Stanley did

good luck with that with the human 🦠s 👀🤔🤷‍♂️😷

China must coordinate into epidemiologists to study the history of the so-called vector factor of the virus. The combination criteria of a site visit analysis may have a development on the parasitical ecology of the molecular biology on cells and genetics, resulting in potential

We are to stupid to be responsible, looked what happened when McDonald’s reopened, in some places up to a 90 min line for a crappie burger, now it’s going to be a 180 min wait in a line in a smaller area for a pint

Ayyy cause people have acted responsibly so far.. 😂 🤷🏻‍♂️

How dare he lecture us?

Yes all you lot under 30!!!! You've all been a disgrace. Al

It doesn't need Nostradamus to predict that the A&E depts will be chocca with drunken brawlers on Saturday night and half of them will be back in hospital with Covid-19 a week later....

Yes it’s the right thing to do but if Johnson can’t even make his own father & his own adviser listen to him, he’s got ZERO chance of getting everyone else to listen. Simply put, people don’t respect him apparently including his nearest & dearest. Johnson is a PM in name only.

Yep stay away from the pubs till this virus is totally eradicated.

Some people won’t act responsibly: think protest marches and beaches.

That's a joke.

That's not going to be possible for some, with drink on board. Relaxing the pub lockdown rule on a weekend is highly irresponsible of the Government. But hey - why change the habits of a term-time?

Its all going to be the general publics fault, for our decision to open. Said the politician before it opens🤔

Bournemouth Beach here.....😂😂😂....ok then.

Every pub in England by 11pm Saturday! Yip, of course people who celebrate super Saturday will be responsible 😲

Why doesn't the government act responsibly? Why ALL pubs on Sat? How is the govt, which has specifically warned A & Es about being prepared to be v busy on Sat, going to support the NHS staff like WelshGasDoc who explained in a thread about the extra difficulties re Covid-19?

TOOSOON to lift the lockdown regulations you'll see but it will be too late by then!!

They’ve done really well at that so far.

BBCPolitics Do as I say not as my daddy?

British public. ...act responsibly? AHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA........ha

Will the public be blamed if there is a spike in COVIDー19

This is Britain. ‘Acting responsibly’ is just a ludicrous idea for many

BBCPolitics

Humankind UK, Pls Act sensibly StayatHome, SaveLives,ProtectOurNHS & No Pubs until Safe. Let hmtreasury & Conservatives go to pubs &hv a drink on us & to those ppl whose deaths they caused! If it ends in ICU, SO BE IT! PeterStefanovi2 stopuklies ToryFibs jonsnowC4 5NEWS RT

Says the man responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths due to his slow response. His chum Cummings destroyed the health message as people think they can do as they like. Yet Boris will lie & blame local Councils for a 2ndWave as he's never at fault? BorisHasFailedUK

Didn’t think we could get worse then thatcher. Well done Boris your even worse then her and that takes some beating pondlife

Should but I have serious doubts

Mans an absolute tosser

Transferring responsibility in 3,2,......1 and it's gone.

Hilarious. I've seen beaches crammed when the sun emerges. Demonstrations involving thousands every weekend. People wearing face masks on their foreheads and not on their faces... No-one can 'act responsibly' adding booze will just finish them off.

BBCPolitics Are we supposed to follow the Cummings example.

It’s time the MSM acted responsible

Very responsibly!

But is the public acting responsibly at the moment?

good luck finding the responsible button

BBCPolitics Needs to tell his dad first

BBCPolitics The public need to ignore everything that comes out of No. 10 on this matter because they are killing us with their stupidity. Stay isolated if you can, the virus is still here and Boris's 'whak-a-mole' stupidity is nonsense.

Well don't think opening on a Saturday is going to help...

zen_mckenzie is this another 'stay alert' message, doesn't actually mean anything just sounds good, so what does 'act responsibly' actually mean then, depends who you ask, a publican would be 'spend loads of money' an alcoholic 'drink lots of drink' see a theme here?

Johnson and the treasury even managed to c4ck this up. Telling people to go out and have a drink. Now saying be careful - i am sure those who drink all day will social distance at 23.00 Saturday night. Do you need hindsight to know - pubs should be open for less hours ?

Very good information,everyone must be very careful

Do you mean like Dominic Cummings did Prime minister !

Lmao! How can you ask us to be responsible even after half the country voting for Brexit?!

Yeah don't drive to a castle for a drink

Says my dad, so there, see you next week after my weekend break :)

😂😂😂😂😂With the intelligence of a huge percentage of this country, you’ve got no chance!!!

If you have no valid or beneficial thoughts about this story, just reply with 'Defund The BBC' or some other trite vacuous slogan. Admittedly, everyone will learn you're an irredeemable prick but at least you might convince yourself that you've contributed something worthwhile.

BBC helping the government troll the public before blaming them for the inevitable second peak

BBCPolitics Doesn't he know how the Brits react after a couple of beers.

Nobody's listening Boris.. We're all on our way to Greece via Bulgaria for the weekend...

I've noticed that my local Tory club isn't opening until Monday but most pubs are opening on Saturday

REMEMBER LABOUR PEOPLE YOU VOTED FOR BORIS HITLER CUMMINGS HANCOCK AND TORY GOVERNMENT ! WELL DONE 👍. FOUR MORE YEARS 😂 .

BBCPolitics Unlike his handler or his father!

If the PM starts acting acting responsibly, I will do the same. Until then, he can go and jump in a lake...

🙄🙄🙄

Does PM Johnson mean don’t do something like drive to Barnard Castle to test your eyesight. Good, because the nearest castle to me is Weoley Castle which is just a ruin of half-metre walls so need to get right up close to conduct my test 😂😂😂

BBCPolitics Just like Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings? We will. You will now have to INVENT covid spikes.

What's the point of a press conference when you always tell us what he will say a day in advance?

whens BorisJohnson going to learn the public can’t be trusted 🙈

Don’t be like us Americans

We. Are. British. - there is nothing responsible about us 😂

The sheer gall...

You have purposely given confusing messeges so you can then blame us when your plan for independence day creates another mess in the next week or two !!!

Doesn't matter what he says really he's on his way to jail.

Fat chance! BEER!!!!!!! 🙄

Does acting responsibly include not telling lies?

🤣

Good luck with that......

PM should act responsibly and, well, act like a PM rather than coming up with vague suggestions instead of clear, enforceable rules.

NOBEL PRIZE FOR SCIENCE WINNER: Professor Michael Levitt of Stanford: 'Almost all the science we were hearing ..... was WRONG!'

Don’t open the pubs on Saturday and expect people to act responsibly

Do mps have to ‘act responsibly’ too or they ok to do whatever the fuck they want

Yeah tell your mates on the left.....ScumMedia

Some chance!,

DefundTheBBC

Like his honking old dad?

Go out, dont go out. Go to the pub , dont go to the pub, stay safe, stay alert, stay at home, save the NHS, go to the beach, go to Primark, don't go to Primark. Anyone else give up?🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Government must act responsibly & give accurate information on COVID-19 cases. They've just removed 30302 CONFIRMED cases from overall total !

Aye Right, talk to yer Da.

A rubber wrist band or a shirt with wordings as a reminder S- STAY A- AWAY F- FROM E- EVRY1 T- TOUCH NO Y- YVRYTHING F- FREQ WASH I- INSULATE R- RE-CHECK S- SELF and T- TENURESHIPS

Good luck with that then 😅

Ha

If only the woke BBC would act responsibly. DefundtheBBC

ffs

That'll definitely happen, definitely

We all have an individual responsibility to help save lives it’s pointless moaning about the Government.

Has he met the English?

Good luck with that

Has the PM dealt with Dom and his eye check? Or maybe speak to PM's dad about flying to Greece to their holiday home..? No, oh well.. guess it doesn't matter then...

This is England that won’t happen

Like Cummings and his father for instance? nooneislistening BorisHasFailedUK

Not a chance can the public be relied upon for anything, as we've already seen. 🙈🤦‍♂️

The Public: Piss off with your patronising mixed messages after allowing thousands of people to pack beaches, attend illegal raves an parties, flock to beauty spots and parks etc etc! Muppets GOVUK

The majority of the public have acted responsibly all the way through this crisis. The same cannot be said for the Government.

To be honest you know and I know, all who please them self will go out of Zones not controlled in Leicestershire like Saudi to Bahrain for a drink in PUBS!
