While I think this is right, I think that our politicians are spending too much time on this when they should be sorting out PPE for NHS staff and increasing testing for people.
Second home ownership has always been a divisive subject but I think politicians are exploiting the current situation to unearth old prejudices. If they are serious about the effect outside visitors have on Wales the WG should be battering down UK Govts door about 15,000+ people a day arriving in UK from abroad and walking straighten through immigration control untested.
I am concerned that second home ownership interests the WG more than sorting out our NHS staff's safety.

Some senior doctors who are obviously more concerned by this than sorting out PPE.... | |

The politicians can hardly exempt it when the gist of the lockdown (not the legal wording, but the broad message) is: ‘is your journey essential, if not, stay home’.
There is an SNP MP in the Highlands who is being pretty anti second homers, which is quite good short term politics, but he will soon be reminded that 13% of Scotland’s economy used to be tourism, and that many of his constituents are business owners with heavily mortgaged hotels and buy-to-let holiday homes, who are feeling financial pain.
Plenty of anecdotal stuff from Italy and Spain about city-dwellers spreading it through dashing off to their country places. A lot of people in the second-home areas are, politely or less so, saying ‘please don’t come’.
It’s the national issue, in microcosm. Business or illness? |  | | |

I’ve got to be honest mind if I lived in London and also owned a cottage on Mull when news of the impending lockdown began to break I’d have been on the first train headed North. |  |

Stay at home. Thats the advice to us all.
That means don't go to any second homes.
It risks bringing the virus into , usually, rural areas.
These rural areas simply do not have the medical facilities to cope.
Its about saving lives and that should be good enough reason.
Of course we should also tax the feck out of these people ...but thats another matter for another day. |  |

Maybe we should call up Mebion Glyndwr and oofer them matches and petrol?
Maybe if they threatened to confiscate any holiday homes people are silly enough to go to during lockdown it would put a stop to it?
Then sell the homes off and give the money to charity. The previous owners would obviously still have to pay any outstanding mortgage or debt on the property. | |

My point is that his main place of residence is 10 Downing street, yet he can go to chequers, to recouperate, i appreciate he has to rest up, but isnt it against the government guidlines to fvck off somewhere else other than home, just saying. | | | |

I'd hardly call recuperating from a life-threatening illness, "having a rest". He looked awful on his last video. |  |

That's his office. In the same way, that the Queen's office is Buckingham Palace when she actually lives in Windsor. If Her Maj gets it, she will recuperate in Windsor, not London. [Post edited 23 Apr 2020 2:03]

I saw her camping near gower last year, had forgotten her hammer for the tent pegs, we chatted for quite a while regards Charles over a few beers, not once did she mention Andrew tho, I think she knew deep down what was coming. |  |
