Will you stick to the rules if lockdown in the UK is extended for another 3 weeks

[Bearbehind]

Just a Yes or No thread there are hundreds on the ins and outs of this.

This morning I read that Matt Hancock is claiming support for an extension is strong amongst the public but that’s not the impression I’m getting from social media

So, will you stick to the rules if lockdown in the UK is extended for another 3 weeks

Yes or No

Yes I would comply.

Do I support? Not necessarily

Yes

I’ll stick to the actual laws (not the Mumsnet rules), as I’m not a law breaker in general. Will I support it? No.

Yes

So yes I will follow the rules but want to point out this isn't necessarily the same as being supportive of furthering the lockdown. If it decided that further time is needed I'd want to see clear scientific justification (the actual justification not sound bites) and an idea of an exit plan. But if I don't get those things I'll still stick to the rules as there isn't much else I can do

I have read a bajillion threads on here about CV but what are the ‘MN Lockdown Rules?’. Is it just bending the rules to suit?

I think us brits are moaners....but by past events we always accept and do what we’re told really, so yes...but begrudgingly.

Yes.

Yes but I will grumble, moan and complain LOUDLY about it to whoever will listen.

Totally fed up of it. I also think there needs to be a bit or recognition that some areas of the UK have a much lower incidence of Covid than others, and could relax quicker.

I don’t get the mn rules thing either.

Yes.

I don’t want me or my family to get sick and I don’t want to be responsible for others getting sick if I was carrying it unknown.

Very alarming the number that won’t, maybe the next lockdown needs to be stricter like other countries given the amount that think it’s ok to go against it.

Yes the actual rules not the ones people make up themselves about who and who can’t go out.

Your OP doesn’t quite ask the right question.

Matt Hancock said there was support for an extension. You should be asking “Do you support an extension”. Asking if people will comply is a very different thing.

I do not support an extension but if there is one I will comply.

But as with others, I don’t support it.

Yes

Mumsnet, much like an individual’s social media impression is likely to be an echo chamber and not representative

^^ this.

@TimeWastingButFun

Bring on another 3 weeks - closer then to a vaccine

What if an effective vaccine is 12 months away? What difference will another three weeks of lockdown now make to that? There certainly won't be an effective vaccine by this summer.

“Do you support an extension”.

Yes

Yes but dont expect me not to moan 🤣🤣

I'll stick to the spirit but not the letter, as will most people I know

Yes definitely for all the vulnerable people I know and love

My interpretation of mumsnet rules is strict 1 hr exercise, only to going to the shops once a week to buy essentials ONLY (which doesn't cover tea, milk,bread,pasta or cucumbers to name a few) and only key workers going to work. So much stricter than the actual law

No, I will start seeing my immediate family.

Mn has all kinds of posters who band together. Some who are louder than others about disliking what’s going on.

But usually people who are just going along with it don’t post about it as much. This is the first thread I’ve seen with so many yes posters. It’s a good question as it stands.

I have read a bajillion threads on here about CV but what are the ‘MN Lockdown Rules?’. Is it just bending the rules to suit?

Absolutely not. The MN rules include:

• You must never leave your home, ever
• How dare you have a BBQ
• Only shop for essentials. No, bread and milk are not essentials (this is not an exaggeration, saw this one with my own eyes), and how dare you pick up alcohol/Easter eggs/toys with the rest of your shop.
• You there. You're smiling. Be more miserable.
• HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT, PEOPLE ARE DYING.

Etc etc etc.

Definitely yes
