...between being 'told' to do something and being 'ordered' to do something as in shutting pubs restaurants etc. What are the consequences of non compliance with being 'told' to close and disobedience in ignoring an 'order' to close.
I guess being told to do something means you ought to comply, whether or not you agree. Being ordered to do something means you damn well better obey. If you don't do as you're told, you will be ordered to do so. If you disobey that order, sanctions of one sort or another will follow.
"Told" and "ordered" is just one of the confusions. A recent BBC website article stated they had to close Friday. Then the local radio claimed they already had to close. Then there's Wetherspoon's wanting to remain open as long as possible. Hard to work out who has the right story.
Being “told” and being “ordered” are exactly the same.
I think the point is that it is not legally binding, yet, but the police have been in to some pubs making sure they closed at midnight.
If on Saturday one reads a new article just hours old saying something needs to be done on Friday, any logical individual takes that to mean the next Friday along.
If shortly after one hears from another source that the something is already done then there's a contradiction and any logical individual realises that there is something wrong.
Those unable to follow may not grasp the issue and remain unconfused.
