Still waiting for rules here in NI. And by past experience I think we may be waiting a while. Efficiency not the strongest point of the Stormont assembly.

I wish we had a united UK response.

If nothing else, this has shown the up the difficulties of devolved administrations and getting the balance right. We need a piece of legislation that allows, in times of a national emergency, the U.K. government to overrule devolved matters.....

we aren't opening yet. We will prob go for the 1st or 8th June.

Personally i don't think his speech was that unclear

Burnham gets very little if any media attention outside of Manchester, it’s just his ego playing up. He will be slapped down by the home office and told to behave. He needs to remember, what positions the government have created, the government can take away.....

Will he get a visit in the middle of the night like?

He just needs to do the job he is supposed to do and allow others to do the jobs they were elected to do....

Crikey if thats all it takes to get a visit of Ms Patel at midnight then I too defy Boris' message and demand you all to stay home and protect the NHS

Yeah right, I must have missed that .....

Just get back in his lane and not have an opinion then, and if he doesn’t heed the warnings, then bin his position.

Yeah that’s how it should work eh Pete.

He can have all the opinions in the world, no argument from me, but he can’t act on them if it’s not his job.....

Without doubt we have screwed up. Cabinet, Civil Service, NHS, PHE, CMO, CSA, the lot of them...from PPE to sending old folk back to the care homes to reinfect others, it hasn’t shown up the U.K. in a good light. But we are where we are and how we come out at the end is what counts. This disease and it’s effects have either been grossly underrated, by government and most of us on here, or grossly overrated, by Ferguson and the wild eyed media. We need to calm down a bit, stop trying to score political points, get the media and its outlets to behave a bit more responsibly, stop this ‘murderer’ nonsense and use what we have now learnt to deal with this virus. It’s worth remembering that no one, not even Germany, truly understood what was happening. The world knows a little bit more now, so we shall have to see how it goes......

After last nights speech its obvious Boris has learnt SFA
