The virus is an invisible killer
People where demanding their freedom back
Plus it was killing people businesses.

Damed if he does damed if he doesn’t.

This should have been announced earlier, however the procrastination has been the trademark of this PM and his government all through.

Relaxing 5 days at Christmas was always going to be a dangerous error.

The measures are right but as ever from this inept PM, likely again too late.

The simple fact is he and the Ministers HE'S chosen are NOT up to the task and have by dangerous action at times, plus their inaction too shown that all through.

Now, perhaps no one else would have done any better.
I doubt that myself, we needed clarity, truth and necessary at each needed time action.
All we got and get is muddle, deceit and even lies and finally dangerous procrastination.

Scandalous and a shambles.

Blame Vallance and Whitty as well

They only got the data on the new variant on Friday so it was a very rapid reaction to that. I always said that the 5 day mixing over Christmas was a bad idea, but it was agreed by all the 4 nations at the time, so they take collective responsibility for the stupidity

[Cherry Christmas]

Well some people were crying out for direction on Christmas from the government...they got it in spades

Well the health experts always expressed concern at the 5 day relaxation at Christmas.
Johnson has NOT always followed the health and science.

Only when it suited him until forced by the dangerous delays to then eventually act.

He's even disregarded health and science advice at times too.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

oh well, hopefully things will get better with the vaccine.

[Christmas Lights]

Tier 4 now , I bet they'll announce tier 5 next .

[Kizzy]

Boris has finally stopped bowing to business and started listening g to the health experts...it's about time!!

[Jake.]

Announcing this five days before Christmas is an absolute farce. Shambolic doesn’t even cut it anymore.

[UserSince2005]

I’m actually ****ed off. They made the rail companies mark all trains this evening as sold out. Literally cutting me off. How dare they

[Parmy]

Its ****e.

Just think how better everything would be if they'd have done a circuit breaker when Sir Keir suggested it...

At the time it was called for, not just by Starmer but the science too.
With schools off at the time too.

It was far from stupid.

Whether the effect would have been much better is open to debate.
However that's the time it should have been done.
In line with the science calling for it to be and that call being supported by Starmer.

They then HAD to do a longer one later after Johnson's usual procrastination and indecision.

Sure at that time,
but now 2 weeks is seen as not long enough.

Tbh Joey I honestly don't get why Boris and many of the other leaders around the world keep ignoring Scientists on a field that they will know far more about than most Political leaders or average joe off the street will ever know.

It's ludicrous.

How do you know they are ignoring them Mocky ? I doubt very much they are as this uturn was brought on by scientific advice.

[smudgie]

So most of us still get a Christmas of sorts.
Albeit shorter and less people allowed.
Roll on Easter, hopefully we can all go crackers.

Yes, you would think the end of the world was nigh the way some are carrying on

[Kizzy]

You know what.. I'm beginning to thing this was all very much planned. I don't think it's been the **** show it first appears.

Yes people have died but in a very controlled way to avoid overloading NHS capacity. I'd say In MY OPINION that this was achieved by covertly adopting the herd immunity strategy.

By this I mean that there has been a staggering of exposure by differing groups to maximise spread in different age groups and now geographical areas.

First everything was locked down then slowly exposure was turned on an off in order, shops closed then restaurants opened, then gyms opened, then schools opened, people could meet indoors then shops closed again, restaurants closed again but gyms, shops and schools stayed open ... now it's no meeting again.

It's like they are deliberately edging towards a tipping point then pulling back the reins.
