Default Its Tough in Wales, you must stay within 5miles

A Caller
on LBC was angry he can Fly to Paris or Rome
but can not go to his Holiday home in Wales.


He said the Police turn you back on the bridge

Very true.

I’m in Wales and it’s strict yeah but feels kind of “in control” too which is a good thing. We’re looking at all of the stuff going on such as the mass reopenings in England (which is like 5 mins away from me) and are just gobsmacked at a lot of it. Boris is terrifying honestly.

I live in a sort of mountainous beauty spot which has attracted so many walkers and cyclists from England over lockdown it’s unreal. A friend of a friend’s Dad who owns land up where the hikers go turned a group of 5 around the other week who had come FROM OXFORD FOR THE DAY.

I can get a haircut from July 13th here I believe.

I think Wales is acting more responsibly than the UK government is.

The more direct and firmer message in Wales is a world away from the confusing messages being sent out in England.

Where it's fast looking like, best just act on instinct as the guidelines get more confusing and complicated at each turn.

Not as easy for them to relax the rules because they have been woeful at increasing testing in Wales

We’ve been looking for an excuse to turn the English away for years, thanks Corona!

"Not being able to go to our holiday home" isn't quite first world problems, I'd say it's more ... minus one hundred?

But still ... my grandparents own a holiday home in Norfolk which we all have keys to, so I kind of feel their pain to some, being kept out of one of their houses is like being randomly told "your second bedroom is now out of bounds!"
