How do people not comply then?
Err, street parties for one! Sme ee VE very local lives where families and friends live close by. Oh ye of little imagination.
The report was referring to banning travel. That is what I was referring to. They don't want it to travel into other areas from where the mutated strain of the virus is rife.
I think the press have a lot to answer for during this pandemic. They constantly speculate and report it as news, then report the news then start speculating again. Their speculation hasn't always been right but has managed to rile people up against the Govt before anything has happened.
Phrases about Christmas being cancelled originated in the press. As PPs have stated, that is rubbish. Christmas occurs on 25th December here every year and will this year too. We have our tree and decorations up, have some of the food in, most presents bought, cards sent off. Most shops won't be shutting until the big day.
IF the Govt decide to ban travelling or further restrict mixing, it won't be a decision taken lightly. They don't want to stuff the economy, it isn't in their interests to do so.They don't want people to lose their jobs, their livelihoods or their lives. It's a huge weight of responsibility on them and they are trying very hard to balance our needs and wants, safety and economy of the UK. They know many people are sensible but they may have to take additional measures because of those that aren't.
