Of course it had to be the train up to Leeds that they all packed on to, with a nice stopover in Derby to change trains, and it being too busy to apply social distancing. That's West Yorkshire well and truly screwed... Having a Bradford postcode we've been in lockdown or tier 3 for all but a few weeks since April. Think only Leicester has had it worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s going to have been people queueing to get on trains to pretty much everywhere in the country from London last night. The whole country will be back in lockdown/tier 4 by new year. It does make me wonder whether we could have kept the first lockdown going a bit longer to get cases as close to zero as possible before reopening things. I know the argument is that the economy would be damaged more but surely this constant shutting and reopening of places is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, in hindsight another few weeks would have made a world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just annoyed that it was the first thing I saw this morning when I woke up and they talked about the Leeds train, which is always heaving and means we'll almost definitely be in tier 4 very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I thought the IRA was tier 7. Tier 8 is the army deployed with hazmat suits and flamethrowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 We are now a country where people feel empowered to break rules in the name of “freedom”. The week before Tier 4 London saw unmasked idiots protesting about lockdown. Remember everyone packing the beaches in the summer? Look at all the people crowding the London stations yesterday. The list goes on and on. If everyone followed the rules we wouldn’t be in such a bad place. Boris is a clown. But the British public should take as much blame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this isn't even a comment about going from one set one day to another set another day and back again (or about announcements being made like yesterday - apparently on the hoof with not even a clue when they are going to come in to effect!), this is about the regulations and legislation when they are in place and them often being in conflict with the message(s) given out by those who are supposed to be responsible for coming up with them. The confusion could and should have been sorted out by now (9 months after emergency legislation and regulations started being put in to place) - that it hasn't been suggests either extreme incompetence or some intent. 52 minutes ago, Mandy Lifeboats said: the British public should take as much blame Nope, not having that.
