    Why should they make an exception. Let them abide by the lockdown rules like everyone else.

    What next, local pubs?

    I don't necessarily disagree but I can imagine a large police presence in many of the larger Mosques if they do not allow them to be open for the day.

    The police need to think carefully here. They will have to balance the advice of lockdown with the fact religion plays a massive part in the lives of a big part of Bradfords population. If 100,000+ people decide they're gonna celebrate they ain't nothing you can do. Not saying that will happen but you get my drift.

    I'm not disagreeing, and I hope once the decision is made it is abided by but what @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart posted above is a possibility, I'm not sure Easter and Christian's attending church have the same impact.

    Not sure he speaks for all employees in the NHS fine if he believes what hes said I admire the guy, but it's just his opinion.
    You get others who work for the NHS who are moved with regards the British publics backing, just a way of people saying thank you.

    Why should any exception be made Easter Sunday and the days leading up to it are some of the most important in the Christian calendar, no exception was made then so why should any be made on Saturday. If there is it could blow the "lockdown" out of the water.

    I value his opinion more than some whopper outside my house hitting a pan with stick like last night. Stop it, the novelty wore off weeks ago.

    This court action is made to look like an individual case but will be backed a lot of interested parties who will be funding the lawyers taking the action. Having read the correspondance i can see their point of view. They will have a plan with social distancing methods employed and only allow 50 people in. Problem is we've seen how thick the general public are when told to do something for their own good. If large crowds turned up which i suspect they would the police would be powerless to act through sheer weight of numbers.
    From my own view point that religion is a load of bollocks, just stay at home and pray. If this mythical being called God does by some miracle exist i'm guessing his/her priority would be the safety of his/her 'people'. Don't worry, he/she won't strike you down for not turning up.

    Toilet humour.

    Read today that the new rules regarding Broadway shopping centre include the toilets being out of bounds.
    Which got me thinking about pubs and clubs and restaurants.

    Surely they must be open, when you need to go and all that....................
    So a quick google and "plans must also be drawn up to stop toilets being overcrowded"

    How on earth are they going to police that?
    Sorry you cannot go in there as there are a couple in already, you will just have to.....................hold it.

    It's about as late as @Bronco@Bronco saying Gary Bowyer should be sacked.

    Where do all these folk that have been tripping off to spend a day on the beaches go. Surely, they are not all p$$$ing in the sea?

    Just watching an article on BBC saying all Muslims who appeared in the article will be praying at home and Mosques will be locked why this guy feels he's different and his prayers will not be heard unless he prays in the Mosque is quite sad.
    I didn't realise the Mosque was our old picture house The Roxy Barkerend Road back in the day, may a happy hour spent there watching Roy Rogers, Superman, Flash Gordon and many more at the Saturday morning sessions.
