Polling shows that if the government did cancel Christmas relaxations there would be a drop in people mixing households. So the narrative that people wouldn't follow the rules doesn't appear to be one that is true. If nearly 2/3rds of people would not mix households then it's more reason to cancel this relaxation.

Nearly 60% of those who plan to mix households are going to do it anyway....

well in the last lockdown when I went back the limit was 330 .... and next week those people will be mostly shopping the fresh food areas of the shop ... presume its decided on square footage ....  but we have a massive non food and clothing area ... which is not what people tend to shop xmas week ....

No way this spineless bunch of cretins are reversing out of it now. Most likely they'll offer is an immediate lockdown, maybe as early as 28/12? And I could see that going into February

Apologies @Ozanne, looks like I was wrong. They've gone from a spineless bunch of cretins to an incompetent bunch of spineless cretins

How many times will Boris say 'Alas' this afternoon. I'm going with 6.

I'm hoping, given the special circumstances, that he may reward us with an 'alack'.

That really would be Christmas saved.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed on Monday that the new variant of coronavirus had been recorded in at least 60 different local authority areas.

These cases were found predominantly in Kent, but it has now been confirmed that they have spread as far as Glasgow.

That would be unfair on people in areas without the new strain. Why punish Peter when it’s Paul who fucked up? 

It's not about punishment, it's about virus containment.
