"Assuming most of you have seen the latest press conference. Apparently Christmas is cancelled. Do you think these announcements are going to make a blind bit of difference? Will anyone listen? Personally I doubt it. " If they have a brain cell they will why would you ignore it? | |||

"Assuming most of you have seen the latest press conference. Apparently Christmas is cancelled. Do you think these announcements are going to make a blind bit of difference? Will anyone listen? Personally I doubt it. " It's just changed my already limited plans for Xmas. I and my family will all be respecting the new tier, much as it sucks. I truly hope others also grasp the gravity of the situation. | |||
"Christmas is cancelled no household mixing just been announced!!" Not quite.... Tier 4..... no mixing Tiers 1 2 and 3.... Xmas day only... no sleepovers | |||

"From what I read, at least "places of worship" can still pack the infected faithful in And I thought the various gods were omnipresent and could be worshipped from anywhere. " I find this bonkers. It's certainly not essential to sit in a church, mosque, synagogue etc. Our church has been shut since March, there's a Christmas thingy on Zoom on Christmas Eve. | |||
"I hope so, just wish people had taken notice back in spring Yeah that's what's so frustrating.

"It isn't cancelled, just different than it was yesterday" Exactly this. | |||
"Christmas is cancelled no household mixing just been announced!!" christmas, day has not been cancelled. Its, been reduced to one, other household tiers, 1. 2 and 3. Tier 4 on the other hand is a, different matter | |||

"Realy pissed off,, if all the people took notice of the first lockdown, students, rave organisers, demonstrators, pubs and restaurants etc thinking they were clever, we might not be in quite as much shit as we are now. The government and police should of acted in the blatant cases back along. Just read some blokes been caught 3 times holding large parties.. The areas affected seem to reflect the past compliance, Kent being one of the worst areas for ignoring restrictions." Comrade the plebs are not subjugated enough yet give them time | |||

"I am currently in tier 3 and from midnight tonight I will be in tier 4 as I understand it I can’t invite my sister and brother in law to my home.Please tell me I am wrong" No you’re not wrong if you live alone you can form a support bubble wirh one household as has always been the case | |||
"I am currently in tier 3 and from midnight tonight I will be in tier 4 as I understand it I can’t invite my sister and brother in law to my home.Please tell me I am wrong" No, you're correct. But in tier 3, you couldn't invite them either (apart from the Christmas bit). In tier 4, there's no inviting anyone on Christmas Day either though, unfortunately. We've been in tier 3 since forever and not allowed to invite anyone to our home at all. | |||
"Christmas is cancelled no household mixing just been announced!! Not quite.... Tier 4..... no mixing Tiers 1 2 and 3.... Xmas day only... no sleepovers " Let's be blunt, if you don't live with family, don't have a car, and don't live within a few miles if you go by public transport, that means you're alone for Xmas. | |||
"I am currently in tier 3 and from midnight tonight I will be in tier 4 as I understand it I can’t invite my sister and brother in law to my home.Please tell me I am wrong" You can't I'm afraid... | |||

"Personally I will follow the laws and do what is required. But I can’t see how we can actually stop the virus from getting where it chooses to." If everyone adheres to the rules in London and the South East, hopefully it doesn't spread too much out of this area. If everyone outside of the South East and London keeps contact to a minimum, we can hopefully prevent the services in these areas from being overwhelmed. If needed, resources can be redistributed from low to high pressure areas. | |||

"It’s the stupid mindless people who have caused this if people stuck to the rules , wear a mask , 2 metres apart etc , this would not be the case ,but again most won’t stick to the new rules and think they are above the law , this will just keep going on and on " I hope people adhere. I've not seen my family and friends in West and North Yorkshire for anywhere between 12 -10 months now. Except my mum, dad and sister, who I saw when restrictions were loosened in summer, which coincided with my grandad's funeral. I was looking forward to seeing them for a few days, and waving to my closest friends after dropping a card and gift off for them and their kids. I don't have a car so there's no way I can he there and back in a day. | |||

It's been painfully apparent for a long time that the UK (at least Englands) covid policy has been to watch what EU countries do and then copy them regardless of whether the policies are workable, sensible or not (most often NOT). The one time Westminster has it's own idea (Christmas bubbles) they backtrack as soon as it's clear that it's out of step with European thinking. All it's done is make Boris look like a tool and given legitimacy to that tin pot tyrant, d*unk-with-power Mark Drakeford. | |||

Well yes, I mean a virus is not sentient, but I requires close proximity of individuals to be passed on. Limit the flow of people, limit the flow of the virus. Sadly. | |||

"Since April this year 5 of our company directors have visited at various times.. China (x3) India (x3) Turkey (x2) Italy (x2) Argentina (x3) Columbian (x1) Spain (x1) Worldwide travel, no testing, no restrictions, no return compulsory 14 day self isolation required. Today they will be set to spend the holidays in their own back yard in tier 3 with maximum restrictions on being within 2 metres of their own family. Someone explain the unbearable contrast to this cos i don't understand any of this anymore. " To be fair, that's a good point and I've wondered about this massive discrepancy for a while. | |||

And what about the poor buggers that work in supermarkets being around thousands of people each day - but not allowed to spend Christmas with their families and friends I'm in Tier 4 now and quite honestly am really upset about Christmas. Especially after spending most of the year alone. I'm lucky and have a local family bubble - but so many don't. Hugs to the people that are alone. But remember it's temporary x | |||
"Christmas isn't cancelled. Just people's concept of Christmas is having to be altered. " Precisely | |||

"Due to lack of confirmed information I wasn’t sure if the 12.01 tier 4 lock down would be in law so I had to take a mad rush to my brothers to pick up Xmas presents. Socially distanced of course It has been a nightmare as prior to lock down in November he was t1 and we were t2 so we couldn’t go around. Then post lockdown were were t3 him t2, then he moved in to t3 and now we are both t4 He is 6 miles away, we had a buffet lunch planned for Boxing Day. A few hours when the 5 of us could spend time together which we haven’t this year. We could have ignored abs still went around Boxing Day. Like my parents said if it’s law we can’t. If I was on my own and lived with no one else I probably would have said fuck it and gone." To be fair, even if it is law, the police have said they're not going to enforcw anything unless they see someone having like a party with 30 people. Frankly I don't see many people listening to it this time round and not seeing family on Christmas day | |||

"I think a few on here are now beginning to appreciate that, although no country has been unscathed by covid, the United Kingdom has been spectacularly badly let down by its leadership. At every stage where slightly earlier, slightly tougher, more decisive action could have led to lower casualties and faster easing of restrictions, the ones making the law and setting the rules have prevaricated, failed to understand the seriousness of the situation, played political games, used the crisis as an excuse to embezzle vast sums of money, and in general utterly failed in their duty to the people of the country. Arguably everybody in the country should share some part of the blame, but the ultimate authority and thus the ultimate responsibility lies with the leader of this country. The prime minister has consistently failed to take the difficult road that could both save lives and preserve the economy, has only ever belatedly reacted to events instead of being in any way pro-active, and in many cases only made a "decision" when forced into it by the people of the country making the first moves. For example, mandating the first close down of schools only after more than half of the schools had been forced to close by decisions of the parents and the schools staff. There is an argument that nobody could properly predict the need for the first lockdown, and that he must be the excused doing it too late and not rigorously enough - though not a good argument as there was already plenty of examples of European countries making that error, plus the experience from the pandemic planning exercise barely more than a year earlier. But even if we do excuse that, there is lockdown number two, too little and too late, and now effectively a Christmas lockdown, too little and too late. Whatever the advice, it is the prime minister that makes the decisions - wrong once, wrong twice, wrong three times. We also have the "cummings" incident, that has done more to undermine the message of covid precautions than absolutely anything else. It was the prime ministers responsibility to make sure that those setting the rules did not undermine those rules. The nit picking by mr cummings that technically he did not break the rules and that he was just "doing what any parent would" served only to give a very loud message that everybody was free to ignore the spirit and intention of the rules, that any loophole could be exploited with no personal responsibility for the collective good of the country, and that everyone was free to "do what any parent would do". Although this was the actions of the PMs advisor, again the responsibility for the unarguably detrimental effects on the health and welfare of the country lies with the prime minister. The PM had a responsibility to censure the actions of cummings, obtain a public apology from him, and terminate his employment. This was within the power of the PM, but he chose instead to excuse the actions of an unelected official being paid from the public purse, thus weakening the bio-security of the country. All extra deaths (and for those who find money more important, all extra impact on the economy) caused by this decision are the responsibility of the PM. Those saying that it was impossible for the PM to forego the aid of his most important advisor - funny how the advisor was suddenly very disposable the instant that the PMs girlfriend expressed her dislike of him... Another bloody essay from Polly. Bottom line - if your christmas has been ruined, start demanding forcefully that the government and the prime minister must answer to their responsibility for the situation." This!!! Too little too late constantly. | |||

"During a global pandemic and a new variant of the virus circulating. Why should Christmas be treated any differently from other religious festivals like Eid, Hanukkah, Diwali etc.....

"You only get one life and you need to live it is my opinion. Everyone enjoy your Christmas behind the sofa shaking like a shitting dog. I will have my family around me, as they like me are not going to let some overhyped scaremongers take away our Christmas. We are all healthy adults so the risk from this virus is less than 1% to our existence going forward. Before anyone starts lobbing stones my way think to yourselves if you have ever left the house previously with a head cold or a flu then you have posed serious risk to people with low immune system or Asthma or COPD. If the neighbours send the Old Bill round then I will crowdfund the fines. ?????? Merry Christmas, Enjoy it like it’s yer last. I know I will." So say as you are all fit and well 1 person has it. And passes this to the rest of the family and they are all positive but asystematic so don't know it. And all pass it to 10 others with out knowing it. Some one will die... Do you get this | |||

"You only get one life and you need to live it is my opinion. Everyone enjoy your Christmas behind the sofa shaking like a shitting dog. I will have my family around me, as they like me are not going to let some overhyped scaremongers take away our Christmas.

Before anyone starts lobbing stones my way think to yourselves if you have ever left the house previously with a head cold or a flu then you have posed serious risk to people with low immune system or Asthma or COPD.

I would guess I'm not the only one in this position | |||
