I don't imagine I could phone the police on my neighbours for having a 6+ gathering , I'd simply stay well away till it was over

No I definitely would not, no matter how many were gathering. It's all getting ridiculous, they are losing public support with all these stupid rules and frankly I hope there is a mass public rebellion. How many died yesterday, nine? That's nine that were infected, not nessasarily killed by the virus. Oh yes apparently if we don't obey there could another...

Heard a lot of banging and yells of delight coming from my neighbours back yard. Popped my head over the wall and saw dozens of folk. Asked him what all the noise was. "Just shooting a few grouse," he answered, loading his shotgun and aiming skyward. "That's okay, then. It's legal," i replied as i caught a fallen grouse. :-/

Naomi if I could have given two BAs ,yours would be the other, I don't envy Boris's position at all and as you say I very much doubt anyone could do any better, he did look battle worn in the Commons facing Milliband although one needs to ask, why wasn't Milliband so aggressive with ' Call me Dave " has he been to the Aggression Charm School, of Labour ?

//The rule of 6 seems right to me- it covers most situations...//
Does it? My niece has three children, so there's five in her household. She cannot therefore invite either her parents or her husband's parents to her house (unless her husband goes out or one of the parents sits outside in the car). Similarly she and her husband cannot take the children to visit their grandparents. Her brother has one child so brother and sister cannot meet together as two families, even though they are all under 45. So there's just one example of a situation which it will not accommodate.
//I can fit in quite easily with the rule of 6- it doesn't inconvenience me at all.//
Lucky you. It doesn't worry me either 95% of the time but it will at Christmas so I must hope no curtain-twitchers are watching my front door because I am not going to be told who I can and cannot have inside my house.
The rule is ridiculous. It has no basis. Lord Sumption (former Supreme Court judge who probably knows a thing or two about fairness and justice) called the rule absurd and suggested it was open to challenge on a number of bases. He also suggested that people should be free to choose what risks they will take and what precautions they'd prefer to take. I remember that: it was called taking responsibility for yourself and your family and it prevailed before the Twitterati began to demand that the government protect them from everything. This was regardless of (a) the effectiveness of measure taken to do so and (b) the effect those measure had on just about everything else.

good grief, six months ago it was "help your neighbours", now it's "shop your neighbours".
I suppose if someone held a rave with hundreds of people in the next garden I might feel something had to be done, but no way I'm going to be counting heads to see if it's six or seven guests.
Not just Patel, it's the police minister as well. The East German government would have been proud of them.

It gets more like a police state the more petty rules they introduce, rules which are suddenly law. They are actively supporting vigilantism for covid yet, when some groups went to try to stop the boats landing on the SE coast, they were warned off because vigilantism is not allowed or encouraged in this country.
teacake44Will Boris be writing to Santa to let him know what houses he must not go into, so not to break the 6 rule.
Christmas has been moved this year !

It is like a police state. It's quite scary how easily people can be brainwashed. I have a friend who works in the NHS and when I told her that a lot of people are moving to the South West (due to working at home etc) she said that that people are moving there because there is less Covid there. Hello?
It obvious that their trying to divert their crappy sloppy lazy handling of track and trace, and testing, by blaming the public for the increase of the present spread. Boris and Hancock need that big smirk wiping off their mugs. They tried blaming care homes for the spread before. Biggest load of crap that we've ever had in government.
