Another u-turn ahead?

[monolithic baby]

Good old Boris being all popular with his fake Santa Claus act? What’s the chances he has to be the Grinch and back track?

 

[Scotty 1978]

No chance in my opinion, people would take no notice now anyway

 

[Shambo]

Saw someone comment earlier that Boris generally takes his opinion from whoever the last person was he spoke to. So every chance the U-Turn klaxon could be sounded here.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

No chance. There would be a huge backlash

Johnson the liar doesn't care about lives, just himself.

 

[Billericay Dichio]

Sadly a lot of people will not take any notice.

I think it will be impossible to relax in London. Will the populists dare let the North have a normalish Christmas?

 

[Martin F]

It's too late.

 

[herra soul mob]

I did think this a few days ago but probably too late now, and as mentioned above, people will take no notice . Thatcher would have and enjoyed announcing the decision.

Which is exactly why I think he'll do it, so he can absolve himself of any responsibility when things really to go shite in January.

It's not a u turn it's a policy reversal

 

[Stormo]

No chance, unless he does it knowing no one will take any notice.

It’s happening.

 

[FootballFan]

It’s happening.

Lets hope not, but unfortunately you are right I think.

 

[Sam Handwich]

Sadly a lot of people will not take any notice.

Which is exactly why they shouldn't have legitimised it

The easing of restrictions were announced because people were going to do it anyway, and fighting against it would have damaged relations with the public at large and reduced adherence in 2021. Far better to "allow" it and urge caution than say it's banned, not enforce it and have to fight a backlash of banning Christmas ...all the while everyone who's doing it now would have anyway.

The whole thing is a total waste of time anyway of course, as nothing is actually enforced. Are we seeing anybody at all fined for failing to quarantine or self-isolate? Or going to see their parents etc?

A total nonsense.

I wonder what an Australian type Christmas relaxation would look like ?

A normal life because there’s hardly any virus there. Barbecues in gardens and on the beach, spectators at the cricket, bars open

 

[Unbalanced Views]

Another U turn ? so back in the original direction then ?

Dunno where this “ wey people will dee it anyway” shite has come from. Far better for central gov to say: strictly no mixing at all on Christmas because, like the entirety of 2020, there’s a f***ing pandemic, than, go on, take your chances and do the opposite of social distance with your family for five days when the whole year has been risky enough for two national lockdowns and it’s still rife.

What a f***ing waste of time, all them “sacrifices” we were told we were making seem. Why endorse such a drastic relaxing of the rules. Seems suicidal with vaccines now in play.
