I personally think it's a good idea, if people act as adults and stick to the rules!
This has been a really hard time for singles both living and working alone, not having anyone else in the household to even have a conversation with.
I just hope something similar is rolled out in Scotland. |

I totally agree with you!
My half-sister gave birth on 16th March to my dads first Grandchild, and I know both him and my stepmum are suffering with not seeing her, unfortunately they would not be included in this term 'bubble' as they are not a single household.
I hope you have a fantasitc day!  |

They said, that the 'bubble' would be treated as one household as the rules would be the same as all the others, they didn't say just one night, but if 2 lone parties join up or if they join a separate household of their choosing, but it is only for people living alone.
So a 2 person or more household would not be included, I hope that makes sense? |

Boris Bubble....seems to me after a quick glance. It's again about self awareness and self isolating if any symptoms. I'm pretty certain many have been bubbling now, for a month if not more.
So continuing with "hows your temperature?  " |

Boris' reference to 'bubbles' is purely a cloaked way for him to pronounce his support for West Ham United as the Premiership restarts soon.
If you doubt this then look around the tinternet and see Mark Noble (Hammers Captain) with Mr Johnson. He even crosses arms as all good 'ammers do |

It's intended as a 'support bubble' for those living alone, like an elderly relative and for single parent families but yes a person living alone can form a bubble with another household and visit. You can't change the household you bubble up with, so choose wisely!  |

"As a single parent who lives seperately from my boyfriend, I am following Boris' guidlines from now on. Not waiting for Drakeford and co anymore "
I don't blame you in the slightest. If both you and your boyfriend are distancing properly in all other areas of life, I think the increased risk is non-existent to minimal. I'm not a scientist, but it strikes me as a closed circuit. I've had my daughter living with me every other week. I go back and forwards to England to get her from her mother. That's been allowed from the start, thankfully. My guess is that the advice was kept free of caveats to avoid people stretching it. And then the PM's advisor stretched it all to breaking point, so people are thinking WTF? |

Could always order tests online to ensure covid free. Self isolate for a few days before test and until result received. Then drive over. Should be very low risk then. |

MMF or MFF clearly isn't possible. Having multiple meetings with different people isn't possible.

Was having a read up/listening to the gov updates,so reading between the lines I think they mean
This bubble thing for swingles would be you can have a regular exclusive fuckbuddy relationship,with one person only and sleepover/sex,travel distance not an issue
However you can't have another bubble, so if choose a person in swingland
Then it means only seeing family/other friends outside in garden etc at social distancing .
It's a start but still not enough 
I would like two bubbles please Boris,one for sex and one for family as family comes first |

"There is no limit to how much bubbling a singlton you can do in any given week with other folks no matter how many live in their house "
You can only form ONE bubble with ONE other household....not a different one every day!
That much was made VERY clear. |

If you are an M or an F, living alone then you can form a bubble with an MF and have MMF OR MFF. But you do have to stick to that choice. As do they. |

Makes you wonder if they act like this in the other areas of their life's like at work for instance |

My first thought was I can go cuddle my granddaughter for the first time since mid March. I then felt selfish as her other grandparents don't have that luxury. I was so bloody excited that a single person was at last thrown a lifeline... very rare from government, we are penalised on almost every level, but I can't move on from the other grandparents not being given the same green light... booooooo  |

But not with a household in Wales, Scotland, N. Ireland, torture if you live near a border. |

I think it is good. My sister needs a bit of mummy time. First she lost her husband to pneumonia and cancer on boxing day then this. Both mum and sister need support and I will get a few days with just one and the animal's. Instead of 2 the animals and worried about sister. Helps everyone in this family. |

It’s a tough one, but surely contact with one grandparent for your granddaughter is better than none after all this time. |

Oh it is ....... ! How the hell bojo thinks it will be interpreted otherwise Is anyone’s guess. Is he going to deploy a complete new bubble police force to stop anyone doing otherwise? The man is incompetent, inept and ineffective. |

Hmm, as I understand it they can. You can mix a single parent (with optional children under the age of 18) with another household of any size. None of those people can then form a bubble with anyone else, and if anyone was shielding then they can't be part of the bubble.
If a couple and a single wanted to form a bubble for the purposes of a threesome, then I don't think the new rules stop them, unless I've missed something. |

Examples that were given at the briefing
The government gave examples for how the new support bubbles might work for single adults in England:
¦ A grandparent who lives ALONE would be able to form a bubble with one of their children, which means they could go to see them and interact with their grandchildren as normal
¦ A single parent could form a bubble with a parent or friend so they can interact as normal
¦ Two single people who both live on their own could form a bubble
¦ And a couple who do not live together could form a bubble, but only if they both live alone
No 10 also said that if a person lives alone but their partner has a flatmate, for example, then they can form a bubble but the flatmate cannot then form their own with another household.
If anyone within a bubble develops coronavirus symptoms, everyone within the bubble must self-isolate for 14 days.
Who CAN’’T create a support bubble?
Mr Johnson said the new rule is "not designed for people who don't qualify to start meeting inside because that remains against the law".
One part of the bubble has to be a single household, or be a single parent to children under 18.
It DOES NOT apply to grandparents who live together, people living in houses of multiple occupancy, such as flat shares, or to couples who already live together.
Those who are shielding cannot be advised to form a bubble, the PM said.
He added: "However, I want to say I know how hard it is for those of you who are shielding and we will say more next week about the arrangements that will be in place for you beyond the end of June.""
So as I said before if grandparents who live together can’t create a bubble to see their single child / single parent grandchild, how did you get to the conclusion you can create a threesome
This is meant to help those that live alone connect with others that live alone |

Of course in the typical style, there are contradictions in the guidelines. It doesn’t apply to households of multiple occupancy, yet ONE of the households should be single occupancy. |

It's just trying to get lonely isolated people connected with another whilst being able to track and trace the virus, I feel sorry for the shielded single households who cannot form a bubble |

"Singletons bubbling...staying at another's house
The mind boggles with Boris' ideas.... Good or bad? "
Bubbles aren't Boris' idea at all, they've come from a quite scary individual called Per Block or Bloch.
He's a sociology professor at Oxford and if you look into him doesn't give a flying fuck about you or me just his model & making a name for himself.
Personally I'd hoped Boris & Co would fuck the Bloch parasite off and just let everyone get on with life. |

It DOES NOT apply to grandparents who live together, people living in houses of multiple occupancy, such as flat shares, or to couples who already live together.
Those who are shielding cannot be advised to form a bubble, the PM said.
He added: "However, I want to say I know how hard it is for those of you who are shielding and we will say more next week about the arrangements that will be in place for you beyond the end of June.""
So as I said before if grandparents who live together can’t create a bubble to see their single child / single parent grandchild, how did you get to the conclusion you can create a threesome
This is meant to help those that live alone connect with others that live alone "
I didn't see the speech last night but that has clearly it up for me. |

"Singletons bubbling...staying at another's house
The mind boggles with Boris' ideas.... Good or bad?
Bubbles aren't Boris' idea at all, they've come from a quite scary individual called Per Block or Bloch.
He's a sociology professor at Oxford and if you look into him doesn't give a flying fuck about you or me just his model & making a name for himself.
Personally I'd hoped Boris & Co would fuck the Bloch parasite off and just let everyone get on with life."
Of course Boris doesn’t come up with concepts and work in isolation, that would indeed be scary. It is standard that scientific advice is made available to the government, so I would expect that academics are involved. I don’t know this Bloch guy’s deal though, why is he so sinister? |

Bubbles! Family or sex? What's more important?
I had to video call my son on his 13th birthday because of the initial lockdown.
I love sex but my child is far more important.
I'd say chose wisely because this is supposed to be a support network for singles finding it difficult throughout this period. Not an excuse for horny singles to start shagging (although we can if we choose too).
If you're finding this difficult I'd say maybe a family member or friend who knows what you're going through at this moment. A shag is all good but what happens if you need to talk to someone instead of fucking them but they're clueless? If you can get both that's cool but if not chose wisely! |

Boris doesn’t come up with the concepts I agree. But, he does apply political and individual authority to the science and thus the f**k up we experience on a daily basis. |

"I personally think it's a good idea, if people act as adults and stick to the rules!
This has been a really hard time for singles both living and working alone, not having anyone else in the household to even have a conversation with.
I just hope something similar is rolled out in Scotland."
I have been on my own for 3 months. I am welcoming the new rules but also being very cautious on who i meet. But i am thankful for the news |

It was an absolute disgrace not allowing couples to be together. Now this can happen and good riddens to the negative stuff on here. Imagine a couple living apart and saving for a mortgage deposit but not allowed to see each other?
Now it is time to start forming and bonding the connections. It is for those that want to shag as well as those that want to see family members. No doubt a lot will have several bubbles. |

You can still see the family in the garden which is an option then as a hot blooded male the option is there to form a connection or continue a relationship in the proper normal way.
There appears to be no pleasing some people during the lightening of restrictions. |

You say that as if I was complaining about lifting lockdown restrictions.
I was simply pointing out that sex would not come before family even if I was single.

That sounds like paranoia to me? It also sounds like you are accusing me of something? 
My point is to couples who live together; you should all think yourselves lucky and have some sympathy for couples living apart and people in new relationships and single people needing some intimacy after three fricken months or more or lockdown. |

They can, single parents that don't live with any adults can form a bubble with another household, regardless of the amount of people in that household. All people in that household cannot then form another bubble with anyone else though. |

I'm pretty sure people have sympathy for those living alone. I've seen threads supporting individuals who haven't coped too well with the current situation. |

I just looked on the gov website and it says:
Form a ‘support bubble’ with one other household if you live alone or are a single parent with dependent children - in other words, you are in a household where there is only one adult. All those in a support bubble will be able to act as if they live in the same household - meaning they can spend time together inside each other’s homes and do not need to stay 2 metres apart. Support bubbles should be exclusive - meaning you should not switch the household you are in a bubble with or connect with multiple households.
Only one of the households has to be a single adult household. |

This is still the case for me and my partner of nearly five years. We can meet 2m apart but still can't go in each others houses as I live with adult children and he lives with two other adults. |

Couples living apart and single people having one fb exclusive still doesn't open the meets categories
People could advertise for a fb,meet and find their not compatible,so meet another,then another ....... till they find the right one
So it would be against the government advice of 'one bubble' |

I don't understand where 'It DOES NOT apply to grandparents who live together' statement is coming from. It's not, as far as I can see, on the government website advice page about 'support bubbles' and the national press have articles in them today effectively saying "In households where both grandparents are still living, only if their son or daughter is the only adult in the other household in the bubble can they now visit their children and grandchildren". I wonder if Boris misspoke at the press conference yesterday - it wouldn't be the first time. |

Two grandparents can only form a bubble with a single person or someone living alone with children under 18. I can't form a bubble with my parents as I am living with 3 adult children. So I can't hug my mum but I could have sex with a random stranger if he lived alone. |

I watched it, a single adult household can form a bubble with a household of any size or age as long as it's an exclusive arrangement on both sides.
Therefore a single adult with children under the age of 18 can go and stay with one set of grandparents but cannot then also go and stay with another set of grandparents.
The whole point of the bubble system is so lone adults can get some well needed social interaction and/or adult contact that was previously not allowed. |

"Well I already went home to England weeks ago ..... I’m not supposed to ... seen my grandchildren and sons .... kissed and cuddled them all .... and had a meet Monday .....and we all still alive and symptom free !!!
"
It's the luck of the draw, a school was open for one week in the forest and it was reported in the news that two kids came down with symptoms and tested positive so they had to close to deep clean and contact the bubble they were in, thats up to 9 families in isolation. |

It seems to me that the government has effectively decided to allow people to make their own decisions regarding lockdown and social distancing. Those that need to go back to work after the furlough will do so but will have to observe instructions on wearing masks and staying 2 m away from others in retail and offices. Those fortunate, like myself who have a regular pension income, can continue to stay at home to stay safe.
Whatever happens now, Boris will say it’s a personal decision and the government cannot be held responsible for any further outbreaks and casualties. Shameful.

The government can only advise and in some circumstances enforce some rules. It is and always has been up to the individual to act responsibly. |

If it indeed so clear as you say , can you please clarify why a person from Scotland can cross the border and enter an English bubble, whilst an English person can't stay in a Scottish household?"
I thought in Scotland they could only travel up to 5 miles, I must have missed a bit |

"It seems to me that the government has effectively decided to allow people to make their own decisions regarding lockdown and social distancing. Those that need to go back to work after the furlough will do so but will have to observe instructions on wearing masks and staying 2 m away from others in retail and offices. Those fortunate, like myself who have a regular pension income, can continue to stay at home to stay safe.
Whatever happens now, Boris will say it’s a personal decision and the government cannot be held responsible for any further outbreaks and casualties. Shameful.
The government can only advise and in some circumstances enforce some rules. It is and always has been up to the individual to act responsibly. "

Yes, this |

"I personally think it's a good idea, if people act as adults and stick to the rules!
This has been a really hard time for singles both living and working alone, not having anyone else in the household to even have a conversation with.
I just hope something similar is rolled out in Scotland.
I only saw the latter end of the briefing. Is it for one night only? "
no you can effectively become a “household” within your bubble and then behave as though you were one household group from now an so anything a household is allowed to do together you can join in |

"I personally found the message very clear indeed, I don't know why others are choosing not to "
ive found all the messages clear if you have any motivation to listen and understand and use common sense (knowing the motivation behind it all is to reduce the risk of contracting or spreading the virus)
of course its always going to be possible to listen, search for loopholes, be pedantic about use of a specific word ignoring the context, use someone else breaking a rule as a logical reason for you to also break it (if your motivation is something more political or selfish)  |

Yes it is shameful- not on the government- the fault lies 100% with the people who are being irresponsible. |

Yes this we should all know now how to keep ourselves and others safe. Some will always try and find loopholes, putting themselves and potentially others at risk. |

Well, to be honest, it kind of is up to individuals to be responsible, we shouldn't have to be spoon fed. The messages have been clear, the basic message is don't be a dickhead and put others at risk. They should use that as their next slogan.
DONT BE A DICKHEAD SAVE LIVES DONT BE A TWAT. |
