    I'm slightly surprised there aren't a lot more posts on the latest restrictions. Is everyone shell-shocked?
    No!
    I am luckily in Tier 1 so life is pretty much going on as normal!

    //rules only work if people follow them//

    Give people an inch and they'll take a mile, yes, but the government has been giving people a mile and hoping they'll just take an inch out of some sense of civic duty. Despite a demonstrably rising infection rate London was in tier 2 until about a week ago, meaning pubs and restaurants open. Folk were being encouraged to plan for a family Christmas essentially as normal. Many experts were warning about it.

  • Not giving Cummings a right going over when he broke the rules gave all the other Covidiots carte blanche to do whatever they felt like ... that’s when the rot set in. Boffle has only his own weakness to blame.

    Wasn't quite sure where to post this , but if anyone is spending Christmas alone and not through choice, this may help a little

    I see Johnson has found himself a Tier 4 loophole . As he has a child under one he can meet up with a household as big as he likes.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
  • According to the  Zoe tracker app the rates are through the roof,   already higher than the previous peak in this part of London.  My son in law  said the other day,  where previously he was hearing about this person or that one , now it's whole families at a time. ☹

    Yes, I've known several people who have had it over the months since March, but one at a time. Plus a few people isolating due to contact. Now I know, or my kids know, at least 10-20 who have tested positive at any one time, including at the moment a family of four. Even higher numbers of people isolating, obviously. Not all in London though.
