From what I've been told by work colleagues, London is sticking to the rules more than the region's.

However, once the doors open again on the 2nd, with the increase volume of people in London I can see it ramping up more.

The postcode checker on gov.uk. is having some issues, due to volume of use.

Here’s a link to a list of the areas and tiers

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/full-list-of-local-restriction-tiers-by-area

However to save you some time I can say that if you are anywhere in the North East you are tier 3

It could be that London in comparison to pre covid is extremely quiet in relation to commuters which in normal times is hundreds of thousands daily, that has also helped the areas they normally travel to/from..

.... and for the most part individuals are sticking to their boroughs and not travelling. So those boroughs that have a high rate (one is the third in the country) it is mostly being contained in that area

The tiers aren’t just set by the number of infections, they look at many factors and it’s not just because we are in the south

To be honest I thought we’d go into T3 as a whole, but they’ve decided more of London is T2 than the couple of boroughs that have high infection numbers.

I fully expect our numbers to rocket as individuals outside of London travel into the capital for a bit of shopping, see the lights, have a meal and expect to go into T3 before end of December/early January

It is not as if Boris has to make sensible and considered decisions is it; he can continue on his arbitrary lockdown strategy and we have to live with it.

At least he has negotiated with Covid 19 that it will not infect anyone over the Christmas break which I suppose is his one and only achievement in this.

But then why should he or his wonderful Ministers care, they can do what they like anyway.

Someone mentioned people in London behaving more than the rest of the country; hmm clearly the demonstrations are a figment of northern imagination then.

Of course he wants London open in December, imagine the money the Tory business paymasters and backers would loose if they were all closed.

Not a figment of your imagination but also an assumption that it was actually individuals that lived in London just at these demonstrations, when people travelled from all over the country to attend.

As always everyone makes assumptions about other areas of the country looking for reasons / blame, which just causes unnecessary divide, maybe focus on your own counties and the issues within them.

Problem if you go down to smaller areas - districts/boroughs - to manage restrictions, people will just into lower tier areas for their pint / socialising etc. With the areas set much bigger, not everyone is next to a boundary.

Already seeing the Facebook posts though - “does avoid travel to a second home 100% mean I can’t” etc.

The tiers are farcical. Market Harborough is a whisker away from zero cases but the whole of Leicestershire is in tier 3. This is Tory heartland and I can tell from the mood around here that the Conservatives are finished here. Problems arose in spring when the city of Leicester was locked down and its youth headed to Harboro for a night out instead and the old bill did naff all. The locals are very very angry. There are similar examples all across Northamptonshire. Simple solution, pubs and restaurants should be able to exclude people if they cannot provide evidence that they live local.

So it appears that the past 4 weeks have largely been a waste of time and done nothing as a 'circuit breaker' to slow the spread of infection.

I'm many areas the tiers have been raised which is bound to cause resentment and lead to people flouting rules.

Businesses in the hospitality sector across England are on their knees and the new tier 2 - tier 3 look to the country is going nbenbe the final nail in the coffin for many.

You can also play amateur sports too (including contact sports). But don't you dare go to the pub for a socially distanced drink with anyone you don't live with.

You can work with as many work colleagues as you or your employer choose, but don't you dare go for a drink or meal with them after work.

"don't you dare go to the pub for a socially distanced drink with anyone you don't live with.

You can work with as many work colleagues as you or your employer choose, but don't you dare go for a drink or meal with them after work."

The millions of us in tier 3 can't even go out for a drink or a meal with someone from our own household.

"I don't want to excite civil disobedience but all these tiers do is to kerb our family and social lives.

It's not a question. It's a rant!

You can also play amateur sports too (including contact sports). But don't you dare go to the pub for a socially distanced drink with anyone you don't live with.

Sevenoaks

About me. I am a critical work based in the SE but I have been working as normal all year - I had too and my role is odd to say the least. I have a colleague based in Manchester and he like me has had to travel around his part of the UK and we compare notes about Covid.

I see alot about people following the rules and not following the rules. It is not a North verses South thing. Far more complicated. I went to Wales, well Swansea in May and that was very strict. Bristol was more relaxed in the out of town shopping centre.

London was a ghost town in the city and west end in March/April. Even now those areas are very quiet. Lewisham seems to follow the rules but around Upton Park and Stratford hardly any masks being worn and still crowded around the markets. Hackney is similar. Old Kent Road area seems safer.

Same around Kent. Dartford safer but Canterbury relaxed. Sevenoaks deserted.

I can go on and describe how Reading felt fine in the Summer but August onwards became riskier.

My colleague says the same about the North. Bits of Manchester ok and bits awful.

I would also say that there is a male/female and ethnic dimension to it all. Some South asian and very rigorous and some openly defiant of the rules.

"im still looking for the legislation that has been past to make it law to now not treat ALL at law, where the Public health Act has been repealed by the Corona Virus Virus Legislation.

Ive never known so many give up so many rights without question in such a short space of time

Whatever floats your boat...

Just protecting my rights floats my boat"

You're just being a barrack room lawyer and wouldn't last two minutes in a court.

Public Health has always trumped 'rights' and always will.

Maybe the areas are being treated wrong .. highly populated areas will have higher infection rates than rural ones ... maybe we should consider using the constituencies rather than counties...each MP could be responsible for setting the lockdown tier ... with the more local knowledge of population distribution

The bbc news has just reported a village where half is in Kent (tier3) and half in Sussex (tier2)

One village pub allowed to open and one village pub forced to close.

They have to draw a line somewhere. No matter how they divide the areas up, someone will be pissed off.

Just put the whole of England in tier 3. That would be fair.

Unfortunately with that you’ll just have people travelling from one constitute to another for more relaxed rules. Even in county rules, some because they choose to, will travel to another area just so they can have a drink, as an example

Even that would still pose problems many constituencies in build up areas are divided by the centre of a road or river etc and it would still be a situation that somebody could walk 100 yards in to a lower tier

Nice idea except that some MP’s do not live in their constituency and were parachuted in to a safe seat.

Aren't some boundaries through the middle of people's houses? That would be fun.

You are wrong. The new rules have to be voted on in Parliament next week hence the Tory rebellion. PHE is not a legislator in its own right. Just as Boris doesn't have to accept the scientific advice.

Corrajelo,Spain, Durham, North Yorkshire and can travel

Our area has a total of 4 cases in the w/e 20 November 2020, we are in tier 3.

An area of London had 65 cases in the same week, they are Tier 2.

It's a total and absolute f*cking sham.
