Punters watched on in dismay as Boris Johnson announced the official lockdown of their local boozers in today’s live coronavirus update press conference.
The Prime Minister effectively closed down the whole country today. He has ordered pubs, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and gyms to shut their doors in a bid to slow down the spread of the coronavirus.
As the COVID-19 outbreak sweeps its way across the globe, Johnson said he understood just how distressing it was to take away the ancient rights of the British people to go to the pub.
However, he said it was absolutely essential to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The punters looked in shock as the Prime Minister announced the news.
