I know nothing about them, but you've just admitted that you and your family are going to ingore the restrictions. If everyone behaved the same, we'd be in this for a lot longer.

I'm an adult and somehow managed to meander my way through the years by making informed decisions all by myself.
Will I go and sit in a packed pub with 5 other mates, nope ............... will I mix with other households, nope ............... will I deny the Grandparents being able to look after the kids whilst myself and my keyworker wife go to work, nope.

I'm with you - the place is too interlinked... it's literally a city.. whole of Teesside should have the same rules

I think the term is a conurbation.
Basically a group of smaller towns and villages that were once separated but because of Urban expansion, are now joined together.
Sums up Teesside perfectly.
 
Lockdown is completely pointless. We should all know this by now. We have just done 3 months of it but as soon as it is relaxed it comes back. So what benefit is there to locking down again unless we lock the whole country down until we can vaccinate the whole country. Lockdowns achieve nothing they just paper over the cracks. Wake up FFS. As soon as they R rate drops and they relax restrictions the R rate goes back up. It's a policy based on a lack of logic that has no long term benefit
 
Preston just been live on BBC news kicking off saying they weren't consulted about how far it would go. As he was speaking the BBC put the £7M headline for affected areas across the bottom :LOL:
 
Thousands of people who have observed the guidelines to the letter are now being denied the opportunity to visit friends and loved ones, meet their mates for a pint etc whilst those who have flaunted the rules will continue to do so and infections will continue to spread.

The rise in Covid in localised areas can only be down to a lack of observance as if the guidelines were flawed it would show a consistent pattern nationwide, surely enforcing penalties on those guilty of breaches would be the logical step before punishing those that have adhered to the advice, hollow threats and no action are not going to deter those that have ignored previous guidance.
 
I normally have a pint in Yarm when I go out . It is just going to be invaded , much the same as Norton and even Stockton by gangs from the Boro .
They'll land and not get in anywhere as you need to book . Imagine the response ! it's going to be like the wild west .

Some really selfish people about. This government are a shambles, but if people had done what they were supposed to do in the first place we wouldn't be going through this again now.

Nonsense. By and large, they did. People won't be happy until we are relying on the government to think and breathe for us - then the situation "will pass".
 
Sounds like Mat Hancock has just lumped us in with Liverpool who's infection rate was much higher than Middlesbrough and Hartlepool.
 
This government lost the good will and compliance of the public a long time ago yet because we are a "society" we will continue (in the main) to follow the advice and instructions. In a recent survey I saw that around 75% poled said they followed the guidelines/rules and would continue to do so. There is an irony in many of the people who voted for this bunch are the first to shout for their freedom. The Venn Diagram of Tories, Brexiteers, Climate Change deniers and now "Covidiots" must look like an Archery target. That said I have a lot of sympathy with people like @Tommy_Dickfingers who want nothing more rebellious than to take their kids to see their grandparents.

Let's get through this together people.
 
I have an issue with the Supermarkets, during the last lockdown, good measures were in place, formal social distance queues, both outside and at check outs, one way systems, only so many people allowed in, then remember one weekend, it virtually disappeared overnight, and everything just reverted to normal, the usual free for all, but no explanation why???
