No I didn't vote Labour so that makes this rambling make-believe story of yours even sillier.

85% of tibb agreeing the government are doing bad or terribly is probably the closest we’ve got as a community to agreeing on something. And that’s pretty cute.

I can't understand why people are complaining - it is not as if a large number of them were observing the original restrictions anyway.

A very clear message was given. I feel like people are relying on the government for their common sense/basic thoughts

Multiple news outlets, political correspondents, members of the Conservative government and countless members of the public including Trade Unions asked for more clarity....Dominic Raab sounded confused this morning. The fact of the matter is, last night's broadcast was ambiguous because a lot of the information was, and still is being drafted.....a clear message it was not yesterday. Today is a little clearer and I am sure in coming days a lot of the TBC will appear but to say that the message last night was clear and transparent is a little blinkered.

You gonna stay steady in that stance when the police can do very little about the local yobs meeting up and infecting your neighbourhood, friends or family?

Because honestly, I don’t think you’ve thought about the potential ramifications that his speech may have on you personally yet.

That's your opinion on the mixed messages,I got what he said loud and clear, he has not told everyone they are free to go out and really it's time we took responsibility for ourselves,we know the score now surely.

i genuinely question if anyone on this forum saying the message is confusing doesn't know exactly what they should be doing at the moment. I think this is an example of people being confused for others and not themselves

It’s all well and good knowing what we personally should be doing. But we share a country (and supermarkets and public spaces) with tens of millions of idiots who are now vindicated in doing what they want to be doing.

This strain of poorly thought through argument is tired and pointless.

So basically you acknowledge that people personally know exactly what they should do, and you are making a judgement that others are too stupid to understand it. That says more about you than it does about the government.

It’s not about being a Tory supporter it’s about being objective in if the government is doing a good job or not, the only ones not being objective are the Tories unfortunately, but not unsurprisingly
