    Also "Mahow is Borderline" is a universal truth. He should get it tattooed on.

    Interesting that Liverpool got to 600 cases per 1000 and it was tier 3 and just ‘scruffy northerners, don’t wash their hands’ but areas in the south east are up to 200 cases per 1000 and a new tier is created, schools are closed, and the government start to care.

    The north south divide will never go away.

    The South West is having restrictions eased? It's the South East getting Tier 4 and areas like Basildon are at 500+ and increasing quickly. It was 400 last week.

    It's at 800 or more in parts of north Kent and Essex, which is where the Tier 4 will be.

    Dirty southerners, don’t wash their hands.

    Point still stands though. There was no sign of schools closing up north when we were on our arses.

    I never expected mass testing for those without symptoms to be so successful though.

    No, the government has been working on the idea that if everyone stuck to everything strictly in the buildup then hopefully things would be well controlled enough that we could get away with relaxing restrictions over Christmas.

    It wasn't a reward for being well behaved that might be unfairly taken away. It's that if things aren't sufficiently well under control then it may not be safe to proceed with the plans and they will rightly have to change them.

    I drove back to Berkshire from Wales yesterday so it’s not like I’m going to change my plans now and head back home. Surely people are just going to do what they like anyway.

    The Christmas stuff was the government meeting people half-way and trying to put some sort of limits on what would have been people doing what they wanted.

    Changing from being allowed to mix 3 bubbles “over the Christmas period” (23-27th) to now just being “on Christmas Day,” presuming people actually follow the rules, is going to have a negative effect, surely? Like my plans were to see my parents on Christmas Day, and then visit my in-laws on Boxing Day. Now Boris is forcing me to visit both on the same day and risk spreading germs.

    I will be sticking to my original plan.

    Did you not risk spreading germs seeing them on separate days?

    It’s a drain to be told to follow the rules for months and months, and to be given the carrot of a few days to spend with your family over Christmas, only with less than a week to go, be told it’s cancelled and this dreary lockdown is to continue indefinitely.

    I haven’t seen my parents for 10 months (and subsequently my daughter hasn’t seen her grandparents for that long either) and it’s a real fucking mental drag in all honesty.

    My parents both had COVID less than 6 weeks ago, so I really don’t think it’s an issue to spend Christmas with them, just for some small enjoyment in a really depressing year, even though they’re in Tier 4.

    Yeah I mean there's no doubt this government are completely retarded (lol at their plans to get school staff to swab kids), but this casting them as the wicked stepmother who cancelled Christmas is equally retarded.

    They promised everyone they could see their families over Christmas and now they're saying they can't. If you can't understand why that has pissed people off, then you belong on the retarded list right along with them champ.

    Yeah, because there's a global pandemic on and cases are getting out of control (not in small part due to a new strain). The real issue is that they had to promise people things to get them to behave, because unfortunately people are fucking toddlers.

    If they'd said "we really hope you'll be able to see family at Christmas if everyone sticks to the rules, but we can't predict exactly how things will go and so we can't make promises", how do you think people would have acted?

    Yeah, he's a bit shit. Boris doesn't help with his jingoistic wank, though. He hates being the bearer of bad news. Tony Blair would be all up for this. Get your Diana voice on, Tony and let's fucking do this.

    If there's one thing worse than this pandemic, it's the thought of the same pandemic but with Tony Blair simpering his way through the press conferences in his shit vicar voice.

    Gordon Brown would have suited it, with his doom face, doom voice and just general air of doom.

    Yeah, because of how the vaccine works (it's stimulates a response against the spike protein with the virus uses to enter the host cell, and that hasn't changed with the mutation)
