The Metropolitan police have released footage of officers clearing Shepherd’s Bush Green, west London, of sunbathers on the first day of the UK-wide coronavirus lockdown. ‘Can you all go home please,’ one officer can be heard saying. ‘It’s not a holiday, it’s a lockdown.’
Under tough new measures announced by Boris Johnson on Monday, people are allowed to leave their homes only to exercise once a day, to travel to and from ‘absolutely necessary’ work, and to shop for essential items.
