Summary

Mike Graham and Matt Kelly reconvene as coronavirus-related lockdown continues to discuss the impact social distancing measures may have on kids, the idiots who are taking to the streets despite warnings and how other countries are dealing more severely with flouting offenders. There's also room for other matters such as the latest Labour gaffe, not being a local in an area full of locals, being caught out by intimidating language and the possibility of a Premier League return; oh and there's a Fleet Street story or two thrown in as well! Keep safe and thank you for listening.
