Does not matter, he could still face being fined or advised that his journey is not essential.

I am sticking by what I say.

Not everyone can go to work. We're in a lockdown, that means non-essential travel, including to work premises not considered essential and or even permitted to be open and there is many that should not be.

I mean even my employers, I've stated on here, I work in the healthcare sector, they have given me a letter headed statement with my full name on and ID on, FAO the Police, saying that I am an essential worker and should be allowed to travel to and from work. Hence the key word "Essential". I did ask why I needed this paperwork and I was told other colleagues in the country were facing problems with the police doing random spot checks on peoples purpose of travel.

You claimed only essential workers could go out to work, and used a link to try and back that up. The link explains key workers in the context of whose kids can go to school and/or nursery.
Perhaps I don't need to.

Nope, I know I do not. There, hows that for you?

And in that same link, it says what should be shut and open and what exceptions there are, this "anybody can go to work" line just isn't accurate when most things have been ordered shut in a lockdown. Again, you're not highlighting anything specific.
