 |  It was probably taken at Prestop Park , about 500 metres from one of the lady’s house.

Anyway, the picture is titled "Jessica Allen (left) and friend Eliza Moore near their homes in Ashby-de-la-Zouch".

			It’s the worker, not the work, that falls into key worker categories. Are either journalists by trade?

I found out as shops are private property that can refuse entry to anyone they want.
 
Personally I'd ban anyone without a mask, unless they had a Drs letter, then they would only be allowed in at certain times to protect others.
 
I say Drs leter as you can buy an exemption card online which is pointless.

 |  You brought up work Old Boy, not me.
 
I merely asked if their staged photo was an essential journey. You got into an argument about it, I'm unsure why when it's plainly not essential to stage a photo for the purposes of a "news" article.

 |  There appears to have been some confusion about who "they*" were - you believed it was the two ladies, and some others believed it was the people reporting the story.
 
*did they have to make an "essential journey" for the sake of the photo opportunity
Since the confusion is resolved, let's move on, please.

			Boris got well and truly skewered by Starmer at PMQs today.
 To my eyes at least, the children's meal package that Boris said was unacceptable, etc, was pointed out by Starmer to be exactly in line with the official Education Dept. guidance.
 
 Boris could only answer that the Conservatives instituted free school meals, not Labour, plus a load of bumbling waffle.
 
 Skewered and Boris knew it.
