It was legal to go to work and is now.

The issue is Boris and his government cannot say anything in a clear way plus bring restrictions in at the right time. They think people should rely on commonsense then complain about people "flexing" the rules.

The Welsh and Scottish leaders also have an issue bringing restrictions in at the right time, but at least you can understand what they are saying and they don't tell you to rely on commonsense.

The official guidance was clear at the time. Johnson just wanted to give a different message. But it turns out that the virus doesn’t much care about boosterism.

Mal is not comfortable with the truth when it does not suit him, that’s the root problem.

He usually slinks off about now.

But he did not say "we can't", he gave false impression that it's ok to go to work when it wasn't even legal to do so.

This should be enough for immediate replacement of the public official who did such a reckless thing - endangered lives of people, just like his pal Trump did

And what does your last line mean?

It’s Ok if Mal is more comfortable with a British newspaper.

Boris Johnson says go back to work and kick-start Britain’s recovery





The Tower of London was officially reopened yesterday, although anyone hoping for a picture with a Yeoman Warder will have to do so from two metres away

Boris Johnson told the nation last night to go back to work, saying that “people should try to lead their lives more normally”.
The prime minister said that the stay-at-home message had outlived its usefulness. Workers should think about going back to the office, he added.

Shifting his emphasis in an effort to boost the reopening of the economy, he said it was “very important that people should be going back to work if they can now”.

[AtW]

He is saying he wants people to go back to work and the rest, but we can't because of the restrictions.

But he did not say "we can't", he gave false impression that it's ok to go to work when it wasn't even legal to do so.

[SueEllen]

And I'm supposed to take your wittering seriously...?

He is saying he wants people to go back to work and the rest, but we can't because of the restrictions.

But hey, it is an Irish newspaper.

And what does your last line mean?

[malvolio]

Pasted it to make it easy for you.

[Old Greg]

No, because that's not what he said. Read it again, slowly.

Pasted it to make it easy for you.

“I think everybody has sort of taken the ‘stay at home if you can’ – I think we should now say, well, ‘go back to work if you can.’

“Because I think it’s very important that people should try to lead their lives more normally. I want to see more people feeling confident to use the shops, use the restaurants, and get back into work – but only if we all follow the guidance.”

The official government advice, which was updated on Thursday, says people should stay at home as much as possible, and work from home if they can.

[AtW]

So if any Labour PM said it malvolio won't follow the advice because he has not seen competent Labour PM.

It follows malvolio believe Boris is a competent PM...

[malvolio]

That is a question for Mal.

When I see a Labour PM who isn't or wasn't a complete failure, then I might have an opinion. Until then, any Labour leaders can be safely ignored as irrelevant. Especially the unelected ones.

[malvolio]

I should have thought that the point is obvious enough but I will spell it out. If the government advice is to work at home if possible, it is irresponsible for the PM to tell people to start to go to work if they can. Do you disagree?

No, because that's not what he said. Read it again, slowly.

[Old Greg]

And if Labour PM said that?

That is a question for Mal.

[Old Greg]

He said he wants people to go back to work to cinemas and restaurants.

He also said people should follow government guidelines (aka "laws") at all times.

So other than wanting to prove you can't read your point is ?
