Exactly. And given that all a government needs in order to do whatever it wants is to spread fear, and given that this country never votes for anyone other than the Tories, Labour or Lib Dems, all of which support lockdown and restrictions, who's to say that this shower won't go on indefinitely?

Furlough being extended to at least the summer, or to the autumn, depending on the report you read. This is proof that we are NOT going back to normal life any time soon, and that restrictions will remain on our lives for many, many months to come. We were told that when the vulnerable had...

Anyone noticed the latest scare tactic to keep restrictions indefinitely, “new variants”, something that happens naturally to every single virus! So there you have it folks, the vaccines aren’t the way out of this shambles, life won’t be returning to 2019 normal, and politicians have given the...

People are already out having coffee with a mate or two here, and sitting along the seafront to enjoy it. The stay in your prison cell for 23 hours a day looks to be heading out, replaced with, you can leave your cell freely and meet with one other prisoner outside for a coffee. edit: furlough...

thing is, is that hospitality can’t operate properly in tiers 2 or 3, as these tiers have no indoor mixing of households in them. We must be able to meet friends and family indoors at easter at the very latest

The geniuses at Southern have scrapped the Brighton to portsmouth Electro star service, and replaced it with a toilet free 313 banger To south sea. on the plus side, and least there’s no more 2+ hour journey from littlehampton to Victoria, calling at all coastway stations plus a 10 minute wait...

Just what other restrictions can be put in place? tier 4 is lockdown, stay at home, leave only for exercise etc

Remember when we locked down in November when we were at 18-20k odd cases per day, as the NHS was about to be overwhelmed, and we needed to save a Christmas, Christmas got cancelled for millions with just days of notice bEva use of spiralling cases, and now we need to lock down again because...

Stay at home? The seafront was heaving in Worthing today!

Gosh these tiers create so much division among people! I am continuously being called selfish by my mother who I live with, for continuing to mix with only my girlfriend who doesn't live with me. She mixes with only me and her housemate. I have an 86 year old nan who my mum looks after, who...

My town (Worthing) now has the lowest COVID rate per 100,000 in England. Lower than the tier one areas of isle of wight and the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall, yet we’re in tier 2.

yes, it’s stupid and makes no sense. i suppose in a cinema, a bubble or household will be sat more than 2m away from each other

It’s my understanding that you can only go to the cinema, a restaurant, or a pub, with people you live with or who are in your support bubble

So as I understand it then No social mixing in private homes or in pubs or restaurants until the spring? We are not allowed to meet even 1 or 2 friends, even our other halves, if none live alone, inside. Pubs and Restaurants are open in name only, except when the virus takes a few days off...

Of or with COVID? There's a huge difference. The overwhelming majority of deaths are the elderly and those with very serious underlying health conditions. COVID doesn't kill healthy people (relatively speaking) Whilst I am sorry to hear of your family members dying and of the child being in...

Nonsense. I pay my taxes therefore I have a right to "free" healthcare. I believe there should be some restrictions, but the government dictating who can and cannot enter a private home is a red line.

If we're going to go into another idiotic 3 tier system, surely it would make sense to only strengthen tiers two and three, as tier one, with the least infections, should resemble something closer to the new normal? I.e. it would be stupid to impose a ban on household mixing in tier one. I...

I hope the indoor mixing in tiers 1 and 2 are only applicable to private homes, and that COVID secure premises can open !

Ok assuming pubs weren’t busy in tier 2 then?

What was the tier 2 ban on indoor mixing? Is that all indoor mixing in any setting, or just applicable to private homes?
