Local lockdown



Where does the legislation say that? I think that’s just advised and not the law.

Just checked the Durham Council website and it's clear as mud;

Residents are also advised to adhere to the following guidance to further reduce rates of infection:

  • Residents should not socialise with other people outside of their own households in all public venues.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
It’s not the pub’s job to enforce it and it’s not the law anyway. As long as you follow rule of six most pubs won’t give a shit. There’s no expectation for them to try and work out what constituents a household.

It’s now the pubs legal responsibility to question it. If you lie then the pubs done their job and that’s on the individual concerned
 
What piffle Frijj, either you think the rules are rules and they should be followed or you accept people will break them. What you’re saying is that it’s ok for people to break the bits you don’t agree with but they should follow everything else.

And it’s worse than that because you’re having a go at people breaking non-mandatory guidance while accepting that it’s ok to actually break the law (in a limited and specific way?)

No, I’m saying that some people on this thread are shamefully abdicating their civic duty to do all they can to reduce cases. I believe that may include yourself.

They are advised. Doesn’t mean you can’t and it’s not illegal to do so. Same as you’re advised not to smoke or drink more than 2 pints a week. Stupid I know and should be law, but ain’t.
 
The amount of people ignoring this because it’s just guidance shows that it’ll fail.

Shame on you all - with the exception of those arranging childcare. There should have been provision in the law for that.
Feel very sorry for nhs staff who must be seeing what is happening in absolute horror knowing what they will have to face in a few weeks time
 
Are people really intending to follow this? It’s clearly an absolute nonsense. Think for yourself.

So you’re encouraging people to break the law and go against govt guidance but I’m talking piffle for saying people are shamefully going to ignore the new rules?

It is irresponsible people such as yourself who will continue to spread the virus and be parts of transmission chains that will end in someone dying.

Have some decency and follow the f***ing rules.

Reckon that’s just his internet persona talking. He’ll be happily abiding by the law in reality

Nope. I’ve done all I can to reduce risk. I haven’t visited a pub or restaurant and will continue not to, however I will point out what is law and what is guidance and generally note the inconsistencies in the rules.

Yes. People should put their brain in gear and make their own decisions & risk assessments and not listen like little children for the government to tell them what is safe and unsafe. People flocked to busy restaurants because the government gave them 50% off dinner (safe?) but now won’t even see close family once a week because the government says it’s unsafe.

I will continue to do exactly what I was before which is not go to any pubs, restaurants, meet groups of friends etc. and will happily break the law by visiting my parents once a week or fortnight.

There is a brain dead boot licker section of the population who would draw a cock on their head with a sharpie if the government said it would reduce covid risk. The rules are an absolute nonsense and anyone who is just following them blindly is an absolute fool.

Thats what the GOV.UK website says although I'm not sure which part of it you don't understand ?

 
FWIW I’m all for the rules other than childcare. I’m in a position where I have no choice of what I can do. My job isn’t flexible enough to allow much manouvering and my Mrs works in a bank 9-5.

I have a 3 year old at school and a 1 year old who needs looking after. My in-laws have done it and I’ve looked for childcare in the area and there is none available. Even if there was I would really struggle to afford it. I consider myself not poor or rich but for some people who have next to nowt this will be even more impossible.

It’s so out of touch.

There is a difference between "advised" and "should not".

The government website is worded different but still makes no sense. Guidance/Advised is different to "not to"

How are pubs really going to enforce the one household rule.

Do you live in the same household? Yes

Can hardly see then asking for ID
There's no requirement on Pubs to enforce a one household rule, as that rule doesn't exist - the law requires that only one household or support bubble can socialise inside their home or garden, but it is only guidance that the same applies in Pubs, so you can meet up with 5 others in a Pub and that will be ok provided you do the track and trace
