"Between 10pm and 5am.
Do you think it would ever happen?
Would it be a good idea?"
I think it’s appalling that we need it - so many idiots out there thinking the rules don’t apply to them makes it almost inevitable I feel. |

I'm sure people would still break the rules even if there was a curfew, alot of people have forgotten why the restrictions are important  |

the vast vast majority are following the rules and have followed the rules. |

It could be implemented, as people with a valid reason to be out during curfew hours would be small. Is it the best approach? Probably not - I'm guessing it's seen as them showing that they are doing something but it won't impact business or the economy too much.
Follow the money., |

I'd like to see how that plays out on the streets of west belfast, bogside derry, fermannagh & south tyrone, south armagh...etc.... |

That would be devastating to burglars, they would have to go out in daylight |

No. It would just create more unnecessary fear and panic plus it would be damaging to the economy and stretch the police even further. |

People can't even keep to the rules at the moment. A curfew would be the same.
It's not the time people need restricting, it's the amount of places and people they interact with.
That said the way this year has panned out, and the mind blowing descions made in this country so far, nothing would shock me now.  |

"I don't think the curfew is going to be a nationwide measure, just in local lockdown areas.
This is what i thought.
"
Just a simple way of preparing people to accept it.
The problem with much of the way government ensues with various restrictions is that there is so much inconsistencies. |

I just live in a household that caught it way before lockdown and have tested positive for antibodies.

How would a curfew be enforced when they can’t even enforce mask wearing in shops. Just not enough police to cope with that kind of thing.
We recently got stuck on the M1 going only one junction a major crash and it took us three hours to do six miles would we of been fined for being out after 10pm. What is the next crazy solution they will come up with. |

In all the announcements today "from two households" was never mentioned. Hancock kept saying "simple six" but I'm not sure now what the exact rules are. |

Only 2 police officers on duty in my area lucky if theres 6 in 3 areas as rural as examples.
Add in routine accidents n thefts .. we then have no local officers..local town on limited too so rarely cover..
Add in a domestic case (not that they act on that well either at worse mercia force)then theres no officers.
Good luck enforcing...not enough police here to do basics |

That’s a good point. Well they may benefit someone said they would imprison people who don’t pay the fines. Prison probably more comfy than a park bench in December. |

Well the government threatened fines before, didn't follow it through and now we're pretty much sliding back to square one.
They don't really have anywhere to go but enforce it this time and it seems like they've recently been practicing with illegal raves and £10,000 fines |

£10,000 fines based on a “law” rushed through on the Friday before the Anti lockdown protests on the Saturday. Nothing suspicious about that?!?
Boris Johnson suddenly emerges from his badger hole to erm and er his way through a new legality regarding our actual freedom, and people on here are baying for harsher circumstances and harsher penalties. It’s the reaction of the people that I find the most shocking.

See what fear gets you?
- It's fine to go to work, but not to go out afterwards.
- It's fine to send the kids to school, but not for them to play outside afterwards.
- It's fine to go to a wedding but not to a coffee morning.

A curfew is non workable think of all the staff that do not finish till after 11pm , what about night workers going to work, not to mention truck drivers who deliver the stock that fills your supermarket shelves most of that is done at night. Last time i looked we are not in a dictatorship state a curfew in the UK think a massive riot |

They way I see it government had 3 options,
1) government does nothing lots of people die government gets sack
2) government imposes a meaningful hard lockdown stops the spread but destroyed the economy, people protest, people die, government gets sack
3) government tries to use a range of measures in a bid to save lives but also maintain economic activity Thick as pig shit people look at each rule in isolation rather than see the collective impact... they decide its nonsense because they are too dim to see past their own noses... compliance becomes poor, the virus spreads, people die, maybe the government convince enough voters they tried and are able to hold on to power when it’s all over.

"

To stop dithering about, pissing in the wind and generally falling into the 'do something' trap. Sometimes there really is nothing sensible you can do, that's the time when you should really do.... nothing.
I have said it before and will say it again. Lockdown to solve an immediate crisis, yes - sensible, effective and correct. Lockdown to 'control the virus' long term, no - stupid, pointless, unworkable and ultimately useless.
Why were we not evaluating rapid tests 3 months ago? Why were we not increasing lab capacity over summer so we'd have enough in winter? Why has the ONLY response been restrictions on civil liberties? Where's the massive investment in healthcare, in science, in testing? Oh, wait, we spent all of the money on furlogh....

Nowhere.
Frankly, I don't give a shit if anti lockdown protestors get fined.

We are on the brink of something so big we won't believe it's happening.
Technology is at the stage where a persons whereabouts canbe precisely mapped. It's been used on tracking terrorists.
The next stage chipping people first on voluntary basis with incentives to cause a snowball effect so as many people opt for it.
Then go compulsary. |

The 6 thing could backfire, the way GMB have explained it, is, the 6 can come from anywhere, which basically blows up the bubble theory
As a example on this site if you live alone you could organise a meeting with 5 folks, or if you are a couple with 4 others for a 'social' get-together  |

Up til now I was only allowed to invite one person indoors or a couple from the same house. Now I can have people from five different households inside. It doesn't make sense to me as surely it's more risky than the previous rule. |

Only if you maintain 2 meter social distancing. If you cannot do that, you cannot have that many people round. |

Up til now I was only allowed to invite one person indoors or a couple from the same house. Now I can have people from five different households inside. It doesn't make sense to me as surely it's more risky than the previous rule. "
If you feel it is more risky, then don't invite people in from 5 different households. The guidelines set a maximum, not a target. |

My thoughts I can see why this could see a good idea to some
However what happens if you are somewhere and for some reason you can’t get home before the curfew, you can’t stay at someone else’s house overnight under current legislation.
Tbh with you after being out in cities last weekend cities are quieter for sure but they had to do something

A couple can sit together and another couple 2m apart. Or it can be 1m apart if you wear a mask, so it is possible. |

I have no intention of inviting five different households inside. I was just pointing it out as it is a new rule. |

Yes it was but on Monday the new "super simple six" rule starts and they can be from anywhere. Ludicrous. "
That's just nuts. Nothing makes sense that they implement at all. Sounds more like a money making scheme and a massive excercise in crowd control. I think Orwell had the wrong year by the look of the way things are heading. |

It's definitely 6 from anywhere, and apparently if you have a genuine family support bubble which exceeds 6 that's okay too.
So unless you where organising a big party,
The rules are less restrictive. |

They have now said Christening parties are exempt and you can have 30 guests. I wonder if there will be a big rise in teenagers and young adults getting Christened ? |

"Im now beginning to think its all bull, 30,000 people "every year" Die of COPD alone..
Yet this its classed as a virus
The same goes for your good old fashioned FLU bug 29,000 - 59,000
"
I am curious, how many deaths would be required before you could be convinced it isn’t all bull? We have seen similar deaths to a bad flu year but a) we have only really had 6 months of Covid circulating b) we have had lockdowns, masks and widespread testing, measures that have greatly reduced the number of people infected and the numbers who would otherwise have died. But it’s all a load of bull . |

So they spend a trillion quid to setup a money making scheme that'll net them a million?
Where's the sense in that? |

"It won't happen, and the Bolton thing isn't a curfew, "
Exactly that. It's a restraint on pubs and eating places, restricting sales to "take away only" and on condition that trading does not take place between 10pm and 5am. |

Except where the household consists of more than 6 persons or the "support bubble" would cause that number to be exceeded.
e.g. grandparents can meet a family of mother and father and four children as part of their support bubble. |

The government is looking at imposing a nationwide curfew in the coming days in a bid to control the rise of the coronavirus infection rate.
Sources at Number 10 have confirmed that ministers are in discussions today about imposing a night-time lockdown from 10pm to 5am.
It could be another blow for many hospitality businesses which are only now getting back on their feet.
This is an extract from the story I read in my local paper,hence my post. |

I don't think this is true. The couple with 4 children could only have formed a support bubble with a person who lives alone so they couldn't form a bubble with both grandparents. Under the new rules on Monday they still couldn't all meet together. |

If I was a cynic I would say that it sounds as if the government is trying very hard to kill the pub and restaurant trade stone dead. |

Only single people who live alone and single-parent households can have a support bubble.

I think we need it, because people won’t listen.
I thinks it’s sad it’s come to this.
I think it will cause extra work for an overstretched police force too. |

I doubt it, there will probably be marshals to do this that have no actual power apart from contacting the police. Apparantly at a cost of £30k each per year, yet another kick in the teeth to all our nurses and health care staff. |

One of them could have a support bubble with a person living alone or with children but both of them couldn't have a support bubble. It doesn't matter from Monday now. They can both have people in the house. |

If they live as a household then no they don't get a support bubble.
Same as a single parent if one of the children is over 18 you don't qualify either.
Its only if only one adult lives at the address. |

Would that be up to 5 each, which would bring it up to 12 or another 4 between them to make a shared total of 6? Sorry not meaning to be picky, but just looking at every angle here. |

So why if covid is so seriously contagious do they not supply Hazard bags for masks and gloves for general population?.
Sitting in land fill blowing into the ocean and spreading over the country?.
So contagious they tell you to only gather in groups of six,Yet the government let you sit on a test tube of an aeroplane with 100's of people you dont know from adam?...
What about all the people who work in factories (group of 6?)..
They have got to be seen doing something even if down the line people say,YOU did it all wrong,how many time already have they been criticised for doing Or NOT doing something on time???.

Apparently the virus can only survive 48-72hrs outside the body.
The advice for those infected was to bag all such waste and hold it for a week before disposal, by which time it has become safe.
Except as with everything else, the general public don’t give a shit, and the message is lost in all the bluster and bullshit from Boris and Handjob. |

No because there is already 2 people in the household so still a maximum of 4 additional people. |

Basically unless you're household or support bubble already exceeds 6(in which case no one else is allowed in the house) you can only meet up with or have over a total of 6 people including yourself/household. |

Even in a curfew you can do go to work and for essential things like seeking medical attention and caring duties. |

Complete nonsense in my view. Is the virus more contageous after 10pm ? Obvious answer is no, simply because there are far fewer people out and about to spread it around. |
