The message was clear, pubs, bars & restaurants to shut at 10pm, work from home again, where possible, increased fines for those not complying. Well there you have it. You wanted decisiveness, you got it. I now await comments that these measures are now draconian & go to far; the government is trying to control the masses, etc? Yup. And mandatory for retail staff to wear masks. About time, too. I'm fed up seeing staff shelf-filling in smaller supermarkets, wandering up and down aisles and thinking masks weren't required.

iansheff Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I see Sturgeon has banned visiting other households, I wonder when Boris will follow her and do the same here. She has also advised people against sharing car journey's with people from other households. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/nicola-sturgeon-bans-household-visits-134724271.html https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/scots-nationwide-ban-visiting-other-houses-unveiled-nicola-sturgeon-2979838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadhammer Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I personally don't think the government has gone far enough, off the top of my head. I'm still seeing lots of people walking into my local convenience store in the area I live not wearing a face covering almost to the point that I've thought have I missed a news article or briefing on tv , but I haven't and it totally frustrates me I agree that its important to keep the economy moving but id like to see the door marshals back with the idea in mind no face covering no entry with maybe the option to purchase one at the entrance to enable entry, this virus isnt going to go away if people keep with the I'm alright jack attitude really grinds my gears.

That’s a great idea. Stand up against the lockdown and watch the bodies pile up. Some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
