Thanks for clarifying. I don't think that's the correct interpretation though. The government advice for tier 4 says:

> You must not leave or be outside of your home except for where you have a specific purpose, or a ‘reasonable excuse’

> If you live in a tier 4 area, you must stay at home. You must not leave your home to travel unless for work, education or other legally permitted reasons

So when Boris says "should" I believe he means "must unless you are in one of the excluded categories".

There have been other images since that suggests a certain percentage of the London population decided to leave.
