Should've been in two weeks ago and it was ludicrous that it wasn't.
Not called out by one MP at the time or in the commons when Hancock announced the tier system either, self-serving tossers

Ummm...socialist technocracy? lol
Yeah I mean I feel for anyone who lives in the area (don't you?) - my area has been in tier 3 now (in different guises) for nearly two months, so I know the feeling.
Have loads of mates there but all but one or two of them are going to be coming home for Christmas. Aware that's not going to be a majority but surely a lot of younger people who live in London are going to be travelling back home anyway.
I don't care, like. I wanna see my mates other than on a screen. It's all crap.
Main annoyance for me with it is that not putting London in T3 two weeks ago when Manchester, Leeds etc all were just totally undermined the system in the first place.
The worst thing about that is, she thinks she’s smart. ‘Research’ lol

yep - was planning to and had tickets to go home to the unoccupied territories, there will have to be a rethink now
The tier system is just lockdown by another name. Completely unsustainable all this.

What do you suggest as an alternative Tim?
FWIW, if you're not ill or showing symptoms, what difference does it make?
An area going from T2 to T3 doesn't automatically make everyone there contagious.
I haven't gone anywhere because I have nowhere to go. Surely it's just about being sensible and things? Obviously if you developed symptoms it'd be different but if anything, the point of T3 is that there's less risk of you developing symptoms if there's not much you can do anyway?
I don't have a solution. Nothing seems to have worked. But this way the economy is suffering horrendously too.
I think personal responsibility was the least bad solution, and it's not a good solution either.
As far as I can see, the covid rates will remain high (pre-vaccine) as long as schools remain open, especially secondary schools. But we can't keep closing schools for long periods, so I'm not sure there is an easy answer until we get a lot more people vaccinated.
It is but, it has been proven to work to an extent and does at least ensure certain things are kept open in some capacity (gyms etc).
I think it's all ridiculous and the only real way to get going again is to open up fully - because it's got to happen sooner or later - but until the vaccine is mostly rolled out then there has to be something in between I suppose.
Nowhere should be in T3 come the end of Feb if we're getting the vulnerable groups vaccinated by then (taking into account that it takes 3 weeks for both doses). And nowhere should be under any form of lockdown come late spring.
I really don't know how long it will take to get vulnerable groups the vaccine. I think it could be nearer the summer than we'd like, but I hope it's quicker than I'm expecting.

That decision has done it for Hull.
They were put into T3 the other week because of them being in the highest number of new daily cases.
I was hoping they'd drop a tier because like Liverpool the daily infection rates dropped dramatically and are well below national average and would be rewarded with a lessening of restrictions like the Liverpool city region did when their rates dropped. Now because good old London town has been placed in the higher tier they'll moan like stuck pigs if other regions drop a level.
