The guy on sky said differently..

Not sure why it would stop? They carried on during the previous lockdown why is it any different now.

Across the country, people must now only leave home for work – and only if it is impossible to work from home –

who decides this bit? the company or the employee?

Record breaking transmission, ever increasing deaths etc.

November lockdown was pre-emptive in a way and people basically ignored it. This one is more akin to March.

My wife is manager of a YMCA nursery, after meetings today they were fully expecting them to be shut as per schools, open only for children of key workers and the vulnerable. This has come as a huge shock to them, it’s all kicking off on her work What’s App group now!

If Childcare workers were a priority on the vaccination list, I could understand, but they’re not.

Doesn't make sense to still leave a huge source of transmission. This just prolongs the lockdown for everyone. Key workers understandable, sort the kids into small bubbles and keep control. Just saying nurseries are to remain open is another bonkers decision.

Elite sport carrying on

Elite sport is carrying on. Same as Scotland.

Up to the clubs and leagues to decide. As long as the bubbles aren't breached - which now there's a lot more risk of that - then they should be able to carry on.

That opening schools for one day is gonna go down as one of the stupidest decisions ever

Guaranteed it will be the company- serfdom alive and well in the 21st century.

But what has actually locked down?

Just schools? I mean from what we already had.

Government asking supermarkets for help with distribution for chilled / frozen ‘products’.

Sky news acknowledging that they shouldn't have said elite sports and premier League is to stop

I know it's Piers Morgan, but this really is a staggering indictment of government competence.

It's actually hands down the most incompetent thing they've done so far.

Still Panto season;
Are the schools open?
Oh yes they are!
Oh no they’re not.

Mind you Piers Morgan is an opportunist [Poor language removed].
