Boris Johnson’s government faces mockery over sexual ban on COVID-19 (File)
London:
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government faced widespread mockery on Tuesday over the coronavirus rules which have been described as “sexual prohibition” by some media, although a young minister said the settlement was aimed at ensuring the safety of people.
Under the changes to the English rules on Monday, no person can participate in a gathering that takes place in a public or private place inside and consists of two or more people. The British tabloid media called it a “bonking ban”.
“It’s about making sure no one stays away from home overnight,” UK Housing Minister Simon Clarke said on LBC radio when asked about the ban.
When asked if the rules allowed couples to copulate outside, Clarke laughed and said, “It is fair to say that the risk of coronavirus transmission is much lower in the open air than in the outdoors. indoor space, but we obviously don’t encourage people to do something like that outside at this time or any other. “
#Sexban was in vogue in the UK on Twitter. Some pointed to Johnson’s unorthodox personal life, while others pointed to the Prime Minister’s senior adviser Dominic Cummings violating the lockdown rules.
Conservative lawmaker Tobias Ellwood told ITV that the policy seemed absurd. “I am happy to say it is ridiculous,” he said.
Some have wondered how it would be applied.
“Is there a special” sexual force “to make sure that everyone conforms to this #sexban?” Jen Wood said on Twitter. “Will they knock on the windows and send drones or something?”
