How Much Longer Are People Going To Meekly Roll Over And Accept These Draconian Rules?
The damage being done to our economy is incalculable yet I see people in the street being interviewed on the news saying they accept it and its nessasary and they will comply and some saying it doesn't go far enough. Do these people understand how the economy works? I seriously doubt it. The only people who dare mildly disagree are the business owners of bars and restaurants who are in real danger of having to close down permanently. When the tsunami of unemployed start rolling down the track after furlough is ended, these same people who are calling for the lock down to continue will then be blaming the government for the increase in unemployment. I really do despair.

there was a good example of "wet finger in air" measures vs reality on the train this morning, where the heating was set to "arctic".
everyone's breath was visible, notwithstanding masks, and it was visibly going a good deal further that 2m - more like 5 or 6. so type of masks as worn today are doing nothing, and 2m is completely inadequate.
do there need to be even stricter measures? make everyone wear proper ppe masks and keep 5m away from each other?

Apart from pubs/hotels being shut or having restrictions and some restraunts its not draconian, just inconveniant and frustrating not meeting friends and famly . Schools and universaties are open, most workplaces, building sites are busy, roads are packed, supermarkets and DIY stores are open and in England from 2nd/3rd December your gyms and hairdresser's will be open along with all other shops. Whats draconion about it??
Hes a very cautious person. My head tells me we shouldnt relax over christmas but a can see that so many peopel would brake the rules over christmas that it would be unenforcable and many who have allways followed the rules might develop a habbit of breaking them. Am desparate to see famly especially from England- a could wait till March but there works close down for chrismas so its the only time we can meet up
“When you meet up over Christmas you don’t have to socially distance”
That almost made me laugh
I continue not to see the point in this tiered system.
Nor do I see the point in relaxing the rules over Christmas. If we must have this, for goodness sake let’s stick to it. Otherwise it’s just more pain later

I completely agree with Grumpy - the Christmas truce is the most absurd idea to come from this already unbelievable government. I'm also hopping mad that, living in a rural area with a relatively low incidence of Covid, we've been "upped" to Tier 2 along with other rural areas e.g. Norfolk and Suffolk with an even lower incidence. I fear that hitherto "sticking by the rules" people will be tempted to ignore the latest draconian measures.
