Or...just do a postal vote...even easierYou're only in a polling station for 5 minutes, tops.
Hardly worth getting worked up about.
From Gov.UK March 8th Update:You are totally correct. You can travel anywhere you like from yesterday for the purposes of a recreational activity. The English law doesn't stop you from travelling into Scotland or Wales either.
However, Scotland or Wales have their own laws which stop you (potentially) from crossing the border.
Please, please show me where it says anywhere or even implies anywhere, that there needs to be a subjective opinion? There is no such law or restriction! You can travel wherever you like, whether 1 mile or 1000 miles. You are not seemingly understanding this is not illegal. Unless there is a law preventing something, generally, in the UK, it is by default, permitted. It is in black and white that exercise (or now recreation) is a reasonable excuse. Not a reasonable excuse subject to a 5 mile limit, not even anything close. If you are out of the house for exercise or recreation (or even to go to a cash machine to "collect money") - that is the only thing you need to comply with. Nothing more than that! It is horrific that, even people such as yourself, who I am sure is a good honest citizen, have fallen victim to the confusion the government, police and media have created, almost in every case, as a result of people interpreting non-binding guidance or "policies" which both have absolutely no lawful basis.
In Wales, for example, they at one time, explicitly legislated for a 5 mile cap. In England, this has NEVER been a feature of the law.
exercise, or for outdoor recreation in a public outdoor space - this can be on your own, with your household or support bubble or with one other person (in which case you should stay 2m apart). You should minimise the amount of time spent outside your home, and you should not travel outside your local area
