That was a mistake; it's been deleted and amended without the key worker part.

It’s like everything else this government does. A total balls up. The PM’s website had a video that said “key workers” only that then got changed. I have a screenshot. Hopeless.

I'm not confused.
It's a guidance because they've got nothing else in place. Yet. Why are they going to have something else in place? Because it's serious enough to introduce new laws.
Knock yourselves out before the new laws come in. You might not spread the virus anyway.

Thank you.

Now is the time for good information, not stuff people make up in their own heads.

I'm not confused at all. It's not me hanging on to what he says about going to work or not.
I know he can't stop us. Yet. And he might never be able to stop us.
There'll be more confusion by Thursday but not for me.

Thanks very much for that link tosh

I will be working until things change again 🤔
As who knows how long this will last

This is or was what Italy was saying
Lock down but people still working

Obviously I’m social distancing
Wearing gloves 🧤

Customer said to me that her son is a teacher in Japan
They shut all schools in January
He went back to work this week

So signs some countries maybe starting the road to recovery

Boris isn't trying to stop us going to work.  He says that we should work from home if we can, if not we can travel to work.

That's not stopping us from working.

It'll probably be more like numbers rise, lock down, numbers drop, release from lock down.  Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.

I don’t think some people are reading into it enough,do you actually need it spelling out to you if your job is important enough and you need to travel to work that’s fine ie key worker.
It goes without saying that if you are going to be cleaning windows is that really classed as important,can people at the moment go without there windows being cleaned,I think they can.
What are people gonna clean shop windows 😂 there’s no shops open and even if they were open I don’t think having clean windows is gonna help much,you’ve just got to suck it up at the moment lol.

For some reason us window cleaners panic about everything.

Ask yourself if you were an employee working in say a factory or and office or any non keyworker role.

And you heard that speech, would you be going in to work tomorrow?

I can guarantee you would, because he never said you cant.

So why are we making this into something it's not.

The speech was poorly worded but it was still pretty obvious what was meant if you weren't looking for an excuse to shut shop.

If you go to work tomorrow you may as well go with all those other 1000s of people and walk round the Lake District hand in hand,I’ll speak to Boris tomorrow and tell him to say window cleaners can’t work as well so they get the message 😂

I never said he was trying to stop us. I don't think he's in a position to. Yet. Discourage us, yes.
He's stopped a lot of others though, hasn't he?
He's going to step this up, I guarantee you that. He might not name window cleaners but there'll be further measures taken.

No, Boris isn't stopping anyone from WORKING.  He's trying to discourage people from TRAVELLING to work if they have other options. 

And to stop people socialising.
