    What the fuck did they think the government would say? “Yeah we just announced a lockdown but go on then, break the rules”

    Cretins
    It's a perfectly legitimate question. It's a "whatcha going to do about it" challenge. A government can only govern if those governed have faith. If faith is lost the government can do fuck all about it. That's the ONLY reason for the Christmas gift of limited liberty. The state knows the people will ignore any decrees unlawfully handed down. So it pretends to grant liberties that people were planning to take anyway.

    It is not a legitimate question because they are not going to answer saying break the rules.

    In a press conference announcing a new lockdown, questions should be asked about financial support etc. Things that will impact people and where answers are needed.

    I actually agree with that.
    IMO the Christmas relaxation was granted because they knew people would meet up and it gave them a veneer of control. They said they’d “let” us do what they knew people would do anyway.
    Except...now they’ve said we can’t.
    So now what?
    How many will rebel (a lot, I imagine)
    And what will they do about it (not much, I imagine)

    My niece tested positive


    (Completely asymptomatic, she only found out because she’s taking part in a survey where she gets tested every couple of weeks)

    Probably worth remembering there's no such thing as a Christmas bubble. Totally made up shit. Defy, resist, ignore.

    Kier "the mega cunt" Starmer, who has been pushing non-stop to lock people down, is now moaning because of the lateness of his wishes being granted. What a piece of shit.

    The pretty obvious point is that had they been stricter earlier we might have had a family Christmas to look forward to after this rubbish year.
    Instead they basically let people do what they liked, then panicked when the numbers started going through the roof, moved London into Tier 3 far too late (and, Tier 3 is nowhere near strict enough to make any real difference). So now less than a week before Christmas they’re saying “sorry lads, we’ve fucked it. No Christmas for you. REMAIN INDOORS.”

    Good news, Parliament will vote on these restrictions in January. When they've already happened.
