Christmas Cancelled

Yet you’re happy to insult me and argue FOR breaking the restrictions at Christmas ? Why? Because you just want an argument with me? Or you don’t understand the virus?

I don't think people who are meeting up will be breaking any restrictions will they?

I never said I was arguing to break the restrictions, I was more pointing out your attitude towards a large section of people without actually knowing how they were approaching it or the personal circumstance around them.

It’s not about circumstances though. It’s about the bigger picture

You really are a condescending sod.

Who has said they are going to totally ignore and disregard the guidelines. People have stated they will have family but will be limiting it/self isolating beforehand etc

This is one of the issues of the pandemic, people like you always wanted to be elitist, now have the perfect opportunity to cyril sneer at the lower classes when sat in their middle class house in their middle class part of Britain.

'Those riff raff are all having xmas parties and will be drinking their Carling and eating their Bernard Matthews turkey roast....peasants'

I bet your partner wishes you would invite someone round.

Why are you making this a class thing when literally no one has mentioned it previously?
 
I have tremendous sympathy with those arguing that the restrictions shouldn’t be relaxed over Christmas, especially given the rising cases since the end of Lockdown 2.

However, attacking people for following the rules is wrong. We might disagree with the rules, but that’s the government’s fault.

They should own this and it’s playing into their hands if we start having a go at people for doing what the government has told them they’re allowed to do.

We’ve seen the same pattern right from the start of this pandemic. Set rules which are either too loose or too vague, tell people they should use their ‘common sense’, then blame those very same people when things go badly. This is firmly at the government’s door, no-one else’s.

What can they do for Christmas though? If they put rules in place people simply wont follow them. People do need to use their common sense but a fair proportion of this country have none, we can blame the government all we want but the main reason this is continuing to spread is down to people not behaving properly. The rules really arent that difficult to understand.

The same people will be moaning in January that the pubs arent open, were in another lockdown and any treatment on the NHS non covid is cancelled, is it really worth it for a few days of celebration over christmas?
