The government's covid response has been excellent and no, I won't recommend wearing masks.

It does seem that the agenda from government has little to do with infection rates.

They can't actually be this stupid which only leaves playing to an audience as the reason behind the baffling soundbites.
This entire administration (if you can call it that) is simply a collection of baffling soundbites.
Playing to the audience, their " supporters" love it and the brain dead masses fail to see the bull schitt.
 
They are trying to play the long game, in that I mean leaving it as late as possible towards Christmas to accounce measure that mess up the plans that everyone has made. Unlike the Johnson's of course who will still entertain friends and stick two fingers up to the rest of us.

000s of preventable deaths, the care home disaster, millions wasted on crap ppe bought off their mates...and still ahead in the polls

I think we can safely assume any decision made by this government now on this matter will be based upon what will upset their base the least, rather than the protection of those they are supposed to serve

They have obviously taken then view that for that base, a broken NHS and a few 000 extra dead is more palatable than being forced to wear a mask in Tesco

I'm not sure what we have become

Why would they do that, why do you think they want to ruin peoples plans ?

I'm no fan of the tories, but can't see the motivation for this.

I think they're trying to take the middle ground between the 'libertarians' in their own party who want no restrictions on people's activity and those who are warning about not doing so.

It's not about doing anything really; it's more about telling everyone they're doing a great job.

Great post

Agreed, but the poster was suggesting their decisions are motivated by wanting to ruin peoples Christmas plans - maybe I just read it wrong.
 
When it all goes *its up. It will be somebody else fault. Talk about a ship without a rudder. Hopeless government by the lot of them.
 
Kwarteng - We don't want to jeopardise the "hard-won gains" of reopening the economy.

And there's the rub. Health takes a back seat to business and economic interests. Just like the delayed closure of the border to inward travel from India. Asking people to do something like wearing masks in closed public spaces would not "jeopardise" anything but the feelings of the "freedom of rights" lobby
 
There does seem an inevitability though, even if not pre-planned.
This! You can sense something in the air with the media reports and then the denial from the government that anything is wrong.

it reminds me of a time a long while ago..... oh yes, this time last year in fact!
