New national lockdown from this Wed?

Thing is it's come down from above the mods , they have deemed it the rules and we use their service for free so guess we have to accept it

I don’t disagree, but it’s unworkable at the current time imo. Might aswell close out of bounds. It’s the posters at fault not the topics

Then what you posted is in post #95 is confusing, surely a policy of letting it “run free” puts those most at risk in the firing line?
Surely, as a civilised society, we have a duty to protect all, especially the weak and vulnerable.

I know exactly where Mike H is coming from - as the post said political threads were becoming dominant on the forum, multiple ones and always ended up the same way so was happy to see those threads go and be stopped but hard to see the line when it comes to singular posts because there have been plenty posts mentioning the government.

Anyway - just heard some guys still planning to go holiday to Maderia on Tuesday - why would you still go

I guess that from the tweet you copied it's all outbound travel banned so if they go Tuesday they can still get home and then if they have to isolate maybe they can afford it or something

Or will be working from home anyways?

I wouldn't go to Madeira right now, although it is currently on the travel corridor list so does not need 2 weeks self-isolation on return.
 
We now have some members of the alternative SAGE group saying we shouldn't go into lockdown. Funny when the decision to not have a full lockdown was taken alternative SAGE said that was wrong.

No wonder the public are confused even the "experts" are using it as a political football.

Just tell us what you want us to do and most of us will do it.

Nope. Not if it stuffs everyone else up.
Spin the wheel and take your chances
 
Lots of manufactured justification to make it national wide , in four weeks no much will change because schools etc staying open - all it’s basically doing it shutting pubs , non essential work and amateur sport. Mental health going to be a killer over the next four weeks with the darks night etc

It’s going to be no different in 4 weeks - so what’s changed from the thinking from the “localised” method to the national method ?
