I went out today (mid morning) I was impressed by a family of 4 who were half way up a climb, good view at the top, you could tell that they were not used to making the effort
It’s great to see. I would love to think at least some might keep it up, but I suspect when this is over and traffic becomes heavy again they will sadly put their bikes back in the garage.

It's a political show used since its inception by politicians to get their message across. Politicians don't make throwaway statements in such an environment especially in these times.

They make them all the time.

Government policy, especially the law is not determined by what they say in response to a politics chat show question. he did not even recommend 1 hour as the exercise period in his response. But even he had that is not a guideline nor policy.

No they don't, they are on there to get their point across and as I've explained I know it's neither policy or legislation but it is what Michael Gove thinks is reasonable and as a minister of the cabinet who are the authorities likely to take their guidance from, CCers or a cabinet minister on a chat show?

Chief Medical Officers and others of actual authority and substance. Not a Michael Gove soundbyte

Not being funny but they are advised by the best in the country.
And Michael Goves opinion is just that

I don't like Gove anymore than most but to take a cabinet ministers word as guidance is not a bad philosophy regardless of how you want to treat it. Matt Hancock warned those breaking the rules and those pushing the boundaries. I think the advice is clear.

For a sedentary person who normally does no exercise. He does not think it reasonable for a more active person. As he himself said it depends on your level of fitness.

The authorities will take their guidance from the law as that is what they enforce and not ministers chat show comments. The latter is called a police state , and last time I checked the U.K. isn’t one.
