Zero chance of a London lockdown

They're closing 50 tube stations - makes sense at the moment.

Close lots in Central London and utilise staff so you can keep a network running.
 
They PM and ministers have said repeatedly they will do 'whatever it takes', which presumably includes lockdown.
 
When they locked down northern Italy loads of people scarpered down south taking the virus with them. Same thing happened in China when they locked down Wuhan.
I imagine this, along with not wanting to exacerbate panic buying is what informs current policy.

I'd imagine what's round the corner is curfews and then restrictions on how often you can leave your house with some enforcement. Rather than roadblocks.

Staggering measures gives both people and the govt/police/army time to prepare.
 
Us Brits don't like being told what to do or do as we are told, see Benidorm Brits breaking curfews. If he does call it I think there will be looting as it will be easy picking for the law breakers. Not sure what measures he will bring in to combat that though.

Surely Zero Prospect means "No, absolutely no chance"??

It's rare to use "no prospect" without some qualification as "anything is possible" in politics. Gove said absolutely no prospect of another Scottish referendum. Clearly that isn't impossible some time in the future. No prospect was used by DUP to describe Stormont not coming back together; they did.

In answer to whether there'd be lockdowns like France yesterday, the PM said nothing is ruled out.

In other words the government is lying
 
Queen's travel to Windsor isn't 'essential', Johnson Snr's trips to the pub aren't either yet they expect us to do what we're told. It's a pretend lockdown that just applies to the plebs

We are not in a lockdown yet. When the lockdown happens then you will be expected to do what your told

Ah Gove, haven't seen or heard from that odious little man for a long time. Rees-Mogg also, now I think about it. Have they been gagged do you think? Can just see Reesy saying how the working class deserve this.
