parks still open here for now. Also suffolk police said I could still work. But I presume individual police will differ over their interpretations.

Or you could just stay off the forum if you're not working. The forum is for people working in the window cleaning industry.

Good point, makes a change for the workers not to be vilified?

You need to all stop focussing on what the media says and focus solely on what the government says. They are the law. 

Oh no no no, Government is NOT the law!  They may draft the law though and seek Parliamentary approval ?

The law is independent of Government, hence the Government being taken to the High Court al the time for various matters ?

The parks in London are not shut. Was on the news saying only the under twelves are allowed to take their bikes in the park now as there were too many cyclists congregating at the gates off the park. Some are shut by me some are not.

Same down hear ?

BWCA have suspended all courses due to , you guessed it 

 

[NewGuy]

As far as I know there is no confusion, far more apt word to chaos, there are people that are preaching morality and there are people following the law. If anyone is confused please go to Gov.uk and the law, as it stands now, will be clarified.

I think the confusion is likely down to the poor co-ordination between the various Govt Departments and the Cabinet Office along with Number 10's speech writers in getting the Ministerial Statement and Guidance out.  There were many mistakes made but these have now been rectified ?

Yes there are laws.  Specific law here:

And they can use various other laws around Public Health etc.

Finally, some clear guidelines from the government! 

Still a personal choice to all if they work or not but at least it is settling the 'legality' matter now!

And still conflicting things are said though. Radio 2 this morning were repeating warnings including ‘only go out for essential work’. ?

That doesn’t mean essential as in we need the money before anyone comments ?

I don’t  think that’s any different from the original statement?.. is it ?.

 

[THL4KEL]

I thought it was clear from Boris speech last Monday as I stated after his speech. That is why I have been working safely following the guidelines.
