We will, I'm positive of it.

So here in Blackpool, all the coaches that fill the hotels have been cancelled cause of tier 3... but we've not been officially closed. Basically we're being left to go under.

Any thoughts on when the uk ‘circuit breaker’ will come into force and how long it will last ??

I’ve heard vibes that it’s on the cards and will be at ‘short notice’ ....

If it does come it should be longer than what Labour ask for
I would say 2 Months.

I think IF it does come, I now agree with you.
After this more procrastination it will need to be more than less than a month.
2 at least I agree with that.

There wasn't a glowing confidence from anyone at that press conference that the localised lockdowns or tier system will prove successful enough.

Hence even this inept PM now adding he CANNOT rule anything out.

they can bring in all sorts of stricter lockdowns, but the fact is, people aren't prepared to abide by the lighter restrictions, so they wont follow the heavier ones either, thats been proven already in places like Manchester and liverpool, that already had restrictions in place with no effect.

A lockdown just wont work now, people need to want to abide by the restrictions and they just don't. Also, before anyone says it should be enforced, are the police really going to enter peoples home and question the people that are there to see if they are breaking a rule? I don't want to live in a country like that

I think these local lockdowns are a joke...we're an island 600 miles from one end to the other! There is no feasible way to keep the uk working and contain it...none.

Here is what I feel will happen, there'll be another full 2 week lockdown or 'circuit breaker'. If that doesn't work then we'll follow the barrington declaration.

there is zero point in having a national lockdown when half the country doesn't have uncontrolled infection rates and the other half have shown they ignore restrictions. All it would achieve is an economic meltdown

Why people are clamouring for a two week lockdown is beyond me, the NE has been in some form of lockdown since March to no avail, how is a two week break going to help

...I guess that’s because ‘concerning’ started with the virus, Zizu...it’s taken the world back to a time before advance of medicine, type thing...we’ve lived in a world of ‘..back in the day when that virus was deadly etc’...but never really fully lived it...but now...the good thing is that the advancements of medicines will mean it will be controlled relatively quickly...(...in controlling new virus terms, that is...)...and it’s also to see how we can minimise this from happening again for future generations...

I’d give the nation a ten day warning to stock up on food and necessities then I’d like to see a full FOUR WEEK lockdown as before but for schools to close COMPLETELY this time .

Have the bare minimum people working ( protect and reward them like never before )


Then we’d hopefully see the infection and R rate drop substantially .

They could use that ten days plus the four weeks to fine tune the track and trace system ..

Why would you do that when half the country .... millions of people, are not having an issue with infection rates. It's completely illogical and would only serve to piss the people off. They are being penalised for no reason, other than some selfish twats in another region of the country not following restrictions
