Exactly. It's like a poor teacher blaming 'these damn unteachable kids' for poor behaviour. You're kind of supposed to expect that and account for it.

To be honest even those that aren't stupid can get confused by some of it, often thanks to ministers saying totally contrasting things and Johnson's general wiff-waffing presentation style.

Also having policies that leave massive holes in the defences play a major part. Like wearing a condom but snipping the end off it first.

Although the way the government has handled the whole situation has been an absolute shitshow from start to finish, there has to be some kind of personal responsibility and common sense from the public too.

You have people in shops, etc who just don't seem to care in the absolute slightest and it's all too easy to just shift all the blame on to the government or Bob next door.

Libertarian politician is such an oxymoron. Like anarchist cop or free market social worker. Your entire ideology is that you’re shit at your job and shouldn’t be doing it.

Let's see if they start stocking decent strikers at an affordable price.

Shouldn't shops have already been turning people away without masks or exemptions? I thought that was the idea rather than it being a pretty please suggestion with sugar on top.

Be nice if it's actually enforced, also force people to cover their noses while they're at it.

I thought so as well, a lot of households take the piss and bring all their kids along but I'm not allowed in with my missus because we're adults.

And rightly so. Fair play them both for the dignity shown in accepting the apology.

The problem remains that there isn't really a good definition of 'travel in your area'.

leaving home to exercise should be done locally wherever possible but you can travel a short distance within your area to do so if necessary.

Nowhere near as quiet as first lockdown. I remember going out for a run first time around and being the only person on a busy street with no cars going around at all, same run today and I'm going round people milling about and loads on the road. The message isn't getting through.

I’m so sick of lockdown but this nearly sort of shit is pointless. I’d happily go for curfew, only out with proper reason, letters from work and shit cos it means we have to lockdown for shorter time.

Vaccinate 24 hours a day too.

When Cummings took the piss completely and got away with it I think that gave a green light for others to do comparatively less and hope to get away with it as well.

There were no roses in that garden in which he held his press conference, like some grandee politician, that could cover up the stench of those grubby lies coming from his epsilon 5 thin lips.

I fucking detest the guy.

Yeah same as, you could cross roads without looking, run along the roads. It's nothing like a lockdown. We had 7 weeks of actual lockdown from 23 March to 12 May, they lifted restrictions from then and gradually you'd argue that its been restriction (only of any activity people may enjoy) since then.
