I see that snivelling turd Hancock has already defaulted back to "if this goes wrong it's your fault, not ours" this morning.

The first hurdle is schools and that definitely isn't on the general public.

No, nor current working practices. They also should have made government subsidy repayable in full if individuals broke rules.

Wow he amazes me ,defo a kopite its never his fault ffs
Just on schools, the positive is the mandatory mask wearing and the twice a week testing in secondary schools.
If that happens as it should and as promised, hopefully the entire plan really can click into motion.
I think it was well explained by Whitty and Valance yesterday.
I don't really know what they can do about people breaking the rules other than fining them. But... it all becomes a bit Big Brother. The difficulties will come if the first step comes well and people want that rush for normality, so I do kind of get why Hancock would make that point. However, coming from him, it's just completely hypocritical.
Asked about an 'end to social distancing' this summer, Vallance said:
"As we get the population vaccinated, and the ambition is to have all adults offered a first dose by the end of July, you start to get real protection across the entire population. At that point, many of these things [restrictions] that we have in place now will have gone.
"It's possible that coming into next winter, in particular, certain things may be necessary. Dr Fauci said yesterday in the U.S. that he thought things like masks may be needed next winter - I think we're in the same position. It may be necessary next winter to have mask wearing in certain situations, hand hygiene should remain part of the norm, making sure that if we get the symptoms that we know are associated with COVID, we stay off work, having an effective test, trace and isolate system still in place will be an important part of the baseline measures that we're talking about, and taking individual responsibility about thinking where there is a risk in certain environments are the sort of things we should expect for next winter. That's not the same as a whole raft of MPIs in place, restricting movement.
"All of this depends on what we see, what we measure and how this goes, I'm not promising anything, but those are the sorts of measures that you might expect as a baseline in winter months."

They said those were the dates aimed for providing the four tests are being met.

That's if no variant comes along which circumvents said vaccine, and I know the "ding a lings", like to pump out tweaking of said vaccines but that will takes month from inception to distribution and administering.
They didn’t put a specific date on it. They said “as early as”.
Johnson has said multiple times in the past 24 hours that is best case, dependent on the data.

Like I said has not learnt nearly enough from the last year, why put the dates in, myself would announced the next step out of lockdown only, however, I'm not educated narcissistic half wit, suppose that's the difference.
Because it gives people hope, and something to look forward to. It also gives businesses an ability to plan for the future.
You really need to stop viewing everything the government does in such a biased way. There’s nothing wrong with giving a plan to the public based on tests being met.
It’s chalk and cheese to how they acted last year.
They’ve binned Cummings and it’s allowed them to be more cautious now.
What they’ve announced is a good thing. It’s a staggered, cautious re-opening of the country that will be based on the data with five week gaps inbetween each stage to asses the numbers so we know it’s safe to re-open.
Think we’re starting to see a number of people now just wanting to revel in bad news because of who’s in power. Look past the Knobheads in charge and look at the bigger picture.
