Another boris announcement today at 4pm. Tier 4!

[shamus2020]

So where I live could be going into tier 4. Not good 😌

Does anyone know if it includes Oxfordshire as we are in south east technically but in a tier 2?

I'm not sure but it said london and the south east. I can't stand this all now I'm so fed up.

Is tier 4 "no one may leave the area"? Lockdown+?

3 is already don’t leave the area

@picsInRed I think it might be exactly that. No travel for anyone in London, the south east, beds, bucks, herts etc.

What’s tier 4?

They can fuck right off with their fucking tier four 😢😡

A “by law” stay at home order, no household mixing, no travelling out of the area, allegedly. But nothing is guaranteed until 4pm.

This from the Sunday Times on twitter.

The govt really need to work on their comms.

Tier 4 is no household mixing over Christmas. No travel. Stay in your house.

Sky news just said tier 4 would include no Christmas relaxation?

I don’t think I can cope if they do that. I’m so close to giving up, I can’t do it.

I wonder whether that will mean Christmas is cancelled for those in London and the south east. Which would mean we will basically have to cancel plans of seeing relatives during those 4 days over Xmas.

Christmas is 25th December; you can’t cancel a date.

Household mixing is a really daft idea right now, anywhere.

I do sympathise with those who are upset about the possibility of not being able to have a proper Christmas or see people.

Spare a thought, though, for those whose families had their Christmases wiped out by lockdown in March, due to them losing their jobs and their homes. It makes no difference to them whether they are in Tier 1 or Tier 4, as they don't have much to live for whichever way they look at it.

It's shit all round.

3 is already don’t leave the area

I don't mean "no travel without a good reason", I mean no travel at all? Closed roads with police officers turning people back? Wales level closed.

My brother in law and his family have packed up the car and fled to Bristol this afternoon because that's where they want to be for Christmas

Arborists - I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain what I meant. Obviously a date can’t be cancelled but a lot of people have gone to lots of efforts to see loved ones this Xmas. But if it means people’s lives are at risk because this new strain is spreading fast then obviously Xmas should be cancelled. It’s just a real shame for those who were really looking forward to seeing loved ones. It’s a rubbish situation all round!

Come on, if you live in one of the areas expected to go into "tier 4" you really shouldn't have been planning to mix at Christmas anyway. (I'm in an area outside London but as bad as London and will practise what I preach.)

Good I hope they have a nice time - fuck this load of bollocks I wish I could

Similar here. Not impressed.

All none essential shops, gyms, hairdressers, beauty the lot will have to close again. Wtaf!

Bloody hell.
I actually didn't see this one coming!

3 is already don’t leave the area

It’s advised not to but can’t be enforced. Maybe in tier 4 this will be enforceable!?

I'm very sorry if you are describing your situation but if this was me, I'd be grasping on to the chance of seeing friends or family for a few days as a little bit of light in a very long dark tunnel. .
