So Boris has relaxed the lockdown - or has he? Of course, if you want someone to give out a clear message telling everyone exactly what is required of them, then Boris isn't your man! His forte is saying one thing (something that can justifiably be claimed as the - approximate - truth) while deliberately encouraging people to hear something quite different. Did he simply re-iterate all the things that we were alreay allowed to do (such as going outside for exercise and going to work if it's not possible from home) as if they were all new, significant consessions to a populace frantic to be released from isolation? Or did he order workers back to work (but not by public transport) with not thought for whether or not their working conditions are safe or there is any wok for them to do?
Is anyone measuring the confusion rate among the British public? It must be pretty well off the scale after that!
