Spot on, their figures given to justify the last lockdown on England and Wales were picked out of the air.

Fergus Storrier So because they can't outright ban Christmas they say “ah, we will relax the 'rules' and 'allow' families to mix” and then immediatel­y go on to guilt trip people if they do and say our punishment will be tighter restrictio­ns afterwards. The clincher is, it’s up to personal choice.

Boris is just preparing us for what is going to happen after Brexit. Making us think he is being a generous guy when who knows what’s going to follow in New Year!

People are going to mix no matter what the rules are, it’s everyone’s responsibi­lity to do the right thing.

Yes, let's all lock ourselves up for the rest of our lives. We must never expose ourselves to any dangers whatsoever. And don’t even think about using your own judgment in deciding what you consider safe or unsafe. Wrap your grannys in clingfilm, they cannot and should not be allowed to decide for their own selves! They must be locked away until they die.

But we had already prematurel­y jumped to a lockdown destroying businesses due to the hysteria promoted by people like this.
