I really don't see how anyone could possibly interpret what Boris said last night as "we are back to normal".

Re: Possible Confusion
I think people are confused because he didn't say what they were (A) expecting him to say and (B) wanting him to say. I cannot for the life of me see any confusion at all.Sam_Brown wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 10:54 pm I don’t get it. Where does the confusion come from? Everything is the same before apart from from Wednesday we can go out for unlimited exercise.
Everything else was dependent on what happens with the five tests with nothing confirmed. People have been bitching about there being no talk about ending lockdown and wanting to know the plan and we’ve always been told that it depends entirely on what the data says. Now the government have finally come out in public with next steps and making it clear it’s dependent on the data people are moaning. I don’t get it. I even rewatched to make sure I hadn’t missed anything but what is it exactly he said this evening that have gotten people so confused?

Re: Possible Confusion
There is a section of the public that needs things spelt out in easy to understand steps for them as they are totally incapable of thinking for themselves. It's pretty much as you were with a few tempters thrown in if everyone behaves themselves and does as they are told. But Joe Public only sees the end prize and not the journey there whilst Boris is only capable of talking in riddles.
Everyone says David Beckham is not very intelligent. No-one says that Professor Stephen Hawking is a rubbish footballer!

Re: Possible Confusion
And then you get Dominic Raab saying one thing in morning interviews which is contradicted in the 50-page document published at 2pm. As I said, ar$e and elbow.

Re: Possible Confusion
I also thought it was pretty straightforward. I was pleased he didn't mention garden centres as many of the media had been going on about it for daysLocky_McLockface wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 1:03 pmI think people are confused because he didn't say what they were (A) expecting him to say and (B) wanting him to say.

Lots of people had been saying they want to be treated as adults by government and when we are asked to use a bit of common sense they don't know what to do and don't seem to know what stay alert means.

Re: Possible Confusion
Where as the 50-page document apparently says garden centres can open from Wednesday.
Oh, and the 50-page document is a 60-page document. Confused?

Re: Possible Confusion
Mate, I'm delighted you can restart your business, and sincerely hope it's not too long before you can be back to full operation, but the government are making a complete dog's breakfast of things imho. Even members of the cabinet are contradicting one another.Mr D Nuts wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 3:25 pmNo .

Fortunately it makes no difference to me and Mrs NSS - nothing has changed.

Re: Possible Confusion
Thanks and yes I have noticed it's been said that some of them have contradicted each other . I have only seen last night's speech. Which didn't leave me confusedNo Shot Sherlock wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 3:54 pmMate, I'm delighted you can restart your business, and sincerely hope it's not too long before you can be back to full operation, but the government are making a complete dog's breakfast of things imho.
