BORIS JOHNSON and his top aide, Dominic Cummings, are masters of the snappy slogan. “Take Back Control” transformed the EU referendum. “Get Brexit Done” garnered Mr Johnson an 80-seat majority in last December’s general election. “Stay at Home” has been observed assiduously by Britons during the seven-week coronavirus lockdown.
The slogan and the new guidelines announced alongside it created a sense not of renewed purpose but of confusion. “I don’t know what ‘stay alert’ means,” said Nicola Sturgeon, the first minister of Scotland, describing it as “vague and imprecise”. Leaders in Wales and Northern Ireland, which under Britain’s system of devolved government are also responsible for their own lockdown policies, also said they’d be sticking with the original slogan.
In truth, the campaign reflects only a slight loosening of the lockdown in England. Most shops, cinemas and restaurants will remain shut, and most public gatherings will remain banned. Employees who cannot work from home are given greater encouragement to turn up. Face coverings will be encouraged. The public will be able to sunbathe and picnic in parks, as well as take exercise, and be allowed to drive to beaches and beauty spots.

People are getting used to being spoon-fed and treated like idiots. They want it so. Before 11th: Stay at home. Easy, but everyone broke the rule, anyway. Now, you don’t have to stay at home but use your common sense. Easy.
If a household of three meets another household of three in the park and they pair off at 2m distance as allowed, can they subsequently re-pair after 10mins if still 2m apart. The question wasn’t answered in today’s Briefing. Ta.

Boris Johnson sets out COVID-19 roadmap with bars opening within two monthsPrime Minister Boris Johnson told the public that he wanted to set out 'the shape of a plan' to both beat the virus and provide the first sketch of a road map for reopening society. He did a very nice job! There are so many caring leaders and sadly we don't have one in our WH. I never thought I would say the Brits have a better leader than we do and it’s Boris Johnson! Slogans and PR seems to be the preferred policy of some governments to deceive the people that they are controlling the Covid-19 but the people cannot be fooled when they're experiencing daily deaths and hospitalisation.

Sorry, London isn’t calling... tourists Hospitality sector reopening in July depends on a series of big ifs, would be idiocy to keep Tenet and Mulan to open in July, as when cinemas do reopen will have limited 30% capacity and the majority of people won't go back to the cinema for many months according to many surveys?
