Covid: Cabinet meets as ministers consider tougher Covid rules

11 comments
  1. This the same Cabinet, who the Telegraph leaked apparently just this Saturday told SAGE scientists they were wrong? and who have apparently rallied together against pre Christmas restrictions. God help Whitty and Vallance.

  2. “Ministers consider tougher rules” – Well they can shove that where the sun don’t shine. I’m not taking instruction from that bunch of lying bastards.

    And to add insult to injury, fucking Johnson didn’t even bother to show up, fucking coward.

  3. Hang on.

    Hold up here a second.

    We had Freedom day. FREEDOM. Day.

    Boris gave a big stage and repeated Freedom day numerous times.

    Numerous ministers said we would never return to restrictions under any circumstances.

    Were they… were they lying to us for a small bump in the polls and a distraction from brexit going to shit?

    No. I presume the above article is a mistake and we’re still free. And sovereign.

  4. Here we go again…

    As someone who runs a business that involves a bar/late night venue this is absolutely horrifying, our entire industry has just spent millions on alcohol stocks for the busiest portion of any year, leaving announcements til this late and potentially cancelling new year will be the final nail in the coffin if restrictions don’t come with immediate grants and financial help for not only the lost income but the extra stock we will not be able to move.

    We have staff that need their job to pay their bills and support their families but I’m supposed to just tell them “sorry”, no open, no hours again, I highly doubt furlough will come back in any sense either

    Omicron spreads faster but the deaths/hospitalisations do not follow earlier variants, and the ONLY reason for restrictions was so that the NHS could handle it.

    My local hospital is not overrun and neither are many others, this is entirely uncalled for

  5. They can do what they like….nobody is following the rules now..been out shopping today in the uk..the odd mask and no clue there is covid anywhere..the 4 police I saw 2 had masks on 2 didn’t…people are bored now…

  6. It will be limits on mixing at best, they cannot really impose a full lockdown when they know people will be against it. We’ll be allowed to mix with one other household, maybe two, but that will be the extent of any restrictions, especially as this time of year.
