you can only lock people down when they want to be locked down. Do people forget the scenes so quickly in London where people were out partying without a care in the world when they were specifically told it was dangerous to do so, the week before the lockdown.

Yes, if people had obeyed things a week earlier when they were told to do so it would have been a lot better, many less would have died, but you can't have a successful lockdown until people understand that lives depend on it, and that takes time to hit home.

The scenes in Italy had been splashed across the news for weeks. There is absolutely nothing to suggest it was impossible, because leaders move the needle, they don't wait for Fred in Hastings to give them the ok. We're talking about a week, not 6 months.

I am so ****ed off!!!!!!!

I tuned in a tiny bit late and all the headlines during boris speech mentioned these social bubbles and i took that as some of my family can finally come and visit my newborn(now 2 months!) Son.

Then it took a while to say this only applied to single people

Then he avoids all important questions

I have had enough of all this bull****!!!!!

Honestly, just have them round. Stay in the garden and keep two metres apart, but still do it

The thing is as soon as we were told people can come in our gardens the weather took a turn. Typical

Well if they introduced it a week earlier

What, so now one person who lives on their own can go to another persons house (as long as they too live on their own)?

So now a young family can now visit a lone grandparent but can’t visit the other husband and wife grandparents..

That seems kinda unreasonable .

It’s the grandparents who’ve been making all the noise about missing their grandchildren

its an easing, these things should be done in steps, it's better than it was, and if people behave it wont be long until it's eased further

Imo, if you've been isolating properly and washing your hands regularly go to mum and dads and have an instant shower and change of clothes, then hug them like theres no tomorrow.

Have you been practicing your chatup lines?!

"Nice shirt, it'd look better on my floor!"

"Nice ceiling, it'd be better with my footprints on!"
