Fantastic work... Take the virus to areas where it's currently not.

There really are a lot of stupid people about at present and the belief they have that it's everyone else who transmits it and not them.

Exactly and there was someone earlier on another thread that said no one is sticking to the rules.

The example he gave was that he was on a packed bus and none of the windows were open and no one cared.

I tried to point out that maybe he could have opened the windows or left the bus but like you say it's everyone else isn't.

It's a little bit different because we need the deliveries it is essential and to leave a tier 4 area for essential reasons like work, Medical treatment or in an emergency is completely and understandably allowed

What did the muppets think was gonna happen? All they've accomplished is creating a mass bundle in the shops and on public transport.

I do think people should have been more sensible and delayed their transport plans for a day or so though, it's not as if it's enforceable.

It's an awful time of year for this to happen and if you believe it or not, we have got rules and people should follow them, Boris (love him or hate him) hasn't done this as a two fingers up to everyone, he has the awful task of trying to keep us safe but instead selfish people have just thrown their toys out their prams yet again and going to places they are not allowed, it is awful, not a nice situation to be in at all but have some common sense, these people traveling now will be the same people the reason why we are still having to have tiers etc.

No, it goes to show that all these new restrictions cause is panic amongst people which makes the situation worse.

As they were allowed to do this afternoon and as they had already prepared and planned to do.

I do agree that where possible plans should be adapted and gatherings reduced in size, but everyone has their own circumstances and situations. I do think though that it's a bit late in the day to be moving the goalposts.

It’s been 10 stupid months. All the money and I mean all the money spent should have went on protecting vulnerable people. I just looks like they tried to kill off the elder population slowly while making the rich richer, divided the poor and the races within that poor.

This is the exact reason we had a second lockdown and the tiers didn't work the first time... hence the increased restrictions areas and levels when we came out the second time.

They will just do another national lockdown.

Or seeing as the three groups above make up at least 50% of the population everyone could just stick to the rules.

Apparently there were no seats left on any trains leaving the main train stations after 7pm tonight from London.

Apparently announcements were made on the trains, to state that they are too busy for social distancing to be observed and to please leave the train if uncomfortable with that.

Oi let me me a make a few things clear here

As a Londoner who has been fucked over by Boris fucking it up. Yes I live and work in the city

What the hell did the government think was going to happen with 6 hours notice to leave or be stuck here for 2 weeks. Most are probably people that live in Londoner but are not from London and therefore are returning home. Imagine stuck in a flat most would not have planned for this

Therefore anyone calling Londoners selfish is bollocks...try calling your local neighbours selfish.

People are in a state of restriction fatigue. You shutdown the country till 3 weeks before Xmas then wonder why everyone is going out and getting presents and shops are busy.

If this strain is more transmitable in schools why has Boris demanded the schools stay open. It’s like getting people to university before testing was ready in September

I know I will not be voting for the fat blonde knob in next elections

Totally agree, although how anyone can look at images from there eras plus read even a little bit about it, and still think it was all pomp and circumstance, then they're clearly deluded.

WW1 was swiftly followed by a global depression of epic proportions and after WW2, rationing of goods continued until the mid 50s and housing shortages were dire after both wars. Such jolliness!

2020 an invisible enemy returned and brought the country to it's knees. With the help from self appointed experts and idiots.

I can tell you now, the country was on it's knees after both world wars too. A very difficult time for the nation and the people. We look back with rose tinted specs at such things.

Yep. I think the propoganda of the time still influences opinion. I am seeing parallels in the current situation

Totally agree, although how anyone can look at images from there eras plus read even a little bit about it, and still think it was all pomp and circumstance, then they're clearly deluded.

WW1 was swiftly followed by a global depression of epic proportions and after WW2, rationing of goods continued until the mid 50s and housing shortages were dire after both wars. Such jolliness!"

I think rationing ended about 2 years before I was born and WW2 debt was finally paid off in the early 2000s.

The whole Christmas Bubble thing has been bungled and overcomplicated from the start.

I cannot disagree with this

And yet what was the alternative? Announce 3 weeks ago the cancellation of Christmas?

The medical advisors told them this had to be done and they ignored them again.

They haven't just found out about this today.

A journalist was on the radio before said she knew about this early last week.

Been handled appallingly again.

Numbers suddenly started to rise in Hastings about 3 weeks ago. We observed that it was moving towards us from Kent. If we can do that from the comfort of our armchairs.. .

It apparently started in early October.

They are making out like they only found out today

Once again they have ignored the advice and are trying to cover themselves.

"

Yep. I've been fairly laid back about the pandemic. I've stuck by the advice and done my bit. I've understood that Boris Johnson is in a difficult position but this latest debacle is one step too far for me.

Also I wish the finger pointing and blaming of other people would stop. While schools are open and children are allowed to travel between tiers to attend a virus, the new strain of which is highly transmissible among the young, will continue on its merry way through the population.

He was and schools will remain open in our area. Pupils and staff may travel from other tiers to attend. They may then go home to their families and spend two weeks in the same house. This and other reasons are why people are angry

"

So true some people must have never picked up a genuine book on actual history in their lives.

They buy into the rose tinted propaganda of yesterday year, the old bulldog spirit and use it to bash the present.

The truth is the days during and after WW2 (as one example often touted) were brutal. There are many parallels between then and now for anyone willing to do a bit of rudimentary digging into the facts of the era.

Open to offers whilst he is down in London specifically until Xmas.

Surely something as blatant as this is more worthy of a ban than say posting a peer reviewed article link from a non MSM research website that admin don't approve of?

If banning him potentially stops him finding a meet whilst in London considering that could save someone elses life its got to be the only right course of action?

It's utterly unbelievable and this is why we are where we are. Tylpical 'no fucks given' attitude.

I don't think the police have time to stop people. They might combine it with their drink drive checks over Christmas I guess.

I'm this area it's fairly easy to drive across a tier border without being aware that you've done it

A lot of people had no intention of moving across the country anyway. Of those that did quite a few will accept the restrictions and I suspect that the remainder will have a blind eye turned . The tier restrictions are recommendations, I don't think the police can enforce them anyway.

No.. we've all seen the outcome of adding radioactivity into the mix. If you irradiated the virus, it would undoubtedly bite people mutating them in "virus man" a human with all the abilities of a virus

"Was only chatting about this on whats app, I'm all over the country with work and never been stopped by plod as to what I'm doing and why.

My Dad (81) was told off by a policeman in the first lockdown. He'd taken his newspaper and a packed lunch and was sat in his car, and was told if he didn't go home, he'd be fined. He just wanted to eat lunch and do the crossword with a view of the sea......"

They got a bit like that in first lock down didn't they. They had drones out in some places. I walked down to the beach during first lock down only to find my way blocked by police cars which I walked round. They were turfing people out of their beach huts.

"But don't most Londoners with second homes leave London every Christmas?"

As of Midnight last night, they aren't allowed to travel out of Tier 4 to second homes.

I'm sure the people of Cornwall and Norfolk will be "having words"

with any that turn up this week. And I hope that the police get involved as well.

Why hasn't Boris the bell end mobilised the military?

Why couldn't there have been road blocks on all the main motorways. Only allowing trade transport and essential travel?

They should have followed Spain and not allow people to move from county to county unless its for work or medical with police enforcement doing checks on motorists. Do people not realise that they will be spreading it to their family and friends, nice Christmas present

Even if he'd got out for a walk (which he didn't, because it was raining), he was allowed his daily exercise, so we really can't understand why he was spoken to. Oh well. It's the past now and he doesn't have his car anymore (a long story involving Worcester )

hiding from cock pics.

A lot of these people travelling were not from London, they would have been working there, and they were going back home a few days early because of the announcement so they could be with their family for Christmas.

With hotels and airbnb's ordered to close, what else were they supposed to do?

I really don't know the answers, but I don't think it's all Londoners who were just looking to get to other parts of the country.

That's why health workers, retail staff and teachers are so concerned.

Yes it is just advice not to leave their 4 but you can leave and enter for work purposes, medical reasons, education, emergency situations, to support or care for a vunrable person, to see your support bubble or to return to your main home.

What did the muppets think was gonna happen? All they've accomplished is creating a mass bundle in the shops and on public transport.

I do think people should have been more sensible and delayed their transport plans for a day or so though, it's not as if it's enforceable.

No they should be sensible and not have any travel plans now.

It's better for people to make their own minds up and use their best judgement instead of being infantized by the Nanny State fuelled by dodgy data.

Well I think you find the article above is exactly why people can't be trusted.

It's kind of proven the point hasn't it!

No, it goes to show that all these new restrictions cause is panic amongst people which makes the situation worse.

The whole Christmas Bubble thing has been bungled and overcomplicated from the start."

Tier 4 have to stay at home. This law is enforceable. He wants, the police to stop people at train stations and set up road Checkpoints. How, well this will go is anyone's guess. He did this because he is livid with the actions of those in London last night

What did they really expect would happen with yesterday's announcement. As for Hancock himself, he is the puppet master along with his sidekicks Witty and Vallance.

We have always said people need to think of what they want to do. Look after themselves.

If you are healthy the probability is your friends will be.

That people have been openly asking for meets on here proves, sadly, that we can’t be trusted.

We are asked at least 4 times a week if we want to meet now.

So being an icu nurse I have seen people come in more and more recently with this virus. And yet nobody listens. Regardless of who is leading the country this would have been a problem. That this lot are crap at communicating doesn’t help.

(My sister who lives in London decided weeks ago it would be a bad idea and cancelled.)

Or does the Scottish travel ban only applicable to Scottish subjects and not enforceable to prevent inward spread?

Funny enough I wonder if the Welsh and Scottish administrations will put checkpoints on the main roads crossing the borders to maintain lockdown rules on essential travel......

The Dutch and Belgian government have put a travel ban on the uk this morning.... I honestly wonder if France and Ireland will follow

Nicola Sturgeon has said no to roadblocks, but it remains to be seen.

No travel to Switzerland after January 1st either, for those contemplating skiing holidays there. "

There is to be no cross border travel either way.

The other thing about the mass exit out is that the tier 4 rules are in place for at least 3 weeks..... so anyone who left can’t really come back till mid January at the earliest and BTP are asking people why you need to travel...

So in theory if you left yesterday you may not be legally allowed to return for months

So short of police roadblocks on the bigger main roads, and BTP at Carlisle, Berwick, Edinburgh and Glasgow, how on earth are you going to control this.... there is going to be a load of compassionate reason excuses in the next few weeks to justify what they are doing

Would you blame them. Should we let flights go out?"

Until we know more in about this new variation we have a responsibility to not allow travel outside of our borders..

Easier said than done and in all likelihood with the amount of time since it became known it's pretty much likely to be all over..

Why the panic now though.

The R rate is so much lower that in April and May.
