But not the egg chasing. Thought this was a Government of toffs!

What's his catchphrase going to be?

"Ad astra per aspera" mixed in with "waffle, bluster, curve, squash, bluster, waffle, save Christmas"

What's his catchphrase going to be?

"We F**ked you up and we don't care"?

"You can all starve like your kids"

I held off booking a bargain few days at The Alex Hotel in Fort William yesterday until Monday,could be a wise move...I checked the restrictions for the Highlands & there were very few compared to the rest of Scotland.

Because there are no cases there (virtually)
Like most of rural Southern England, rural Wales, rural France, rural Spain...

All hospitality and non-essential retail to be shut from Thursday for 4 weeks in England
Whole country into "Tier 4"

Quite a leap for those areas in Tier 1..

Not according to official SAGE group ...

Covid spreading faster in England than 'worst-case scenario', documents show

Infection levels in England are about four times higher than the government's worst-case winter plan.

I prefer evidence based information. The numbers in the BBC article are estimated and bear no resemblance to the figures for reported cases. No doubt actual cases are higher than reported cases but that is all speculative.

Why not just forget the fiction of tiers and call it a National Lockdown, which is what it is.

And make it clear the 4 weeks is just the first instalment
