What about the 'companies' who have defrauded the country with 'furlough' claims.

London's top restaurants happy to brake the rules some even look to actively encourage it. As long as you talk business one is happy to let 30 get together.

I don't understand the current rules. There was a bus party wandering around Tobermory on the Isle of Mull last Thursday. In one of the shops they were asked where they had come from and they said Manchester. If Manchester is in some sort of lockdown why are they wandering around this country?

In London the vast vast majority of folk I see on public transport (I use sparingly carefully) are complying with the mask rule but there are a few oblivious idiots. Have had words with two or three.
There is very clearly no policing of the rules whatsoever.
Have been in a small number of spoons and in truth feel safest there than anywhere apart from home. Seem to be very much on top of things,
Meanwhile in Italy things seem to be heating up and I can see more of this happening.

Damn damn this virus.
Wondering if the religious leaders will break cover for Christmas (and tell us where they've been)

you can see why our FM hinted at restrictions for people coming from other areas of the UK.Folk moan about civil liberties and freedom to do as they please , but in reality it’s protecting people from their own selves !!

It is not protecting people against themselves which bothers me. It is protecting myself from them without locking myself away.
Good question the problem is travel outside the given examples is still like much that’s gone before. It’s only advised not to. Not a legal requirement to stay in your area. Unlike a local coach who has stop all travel day trips and holidays. As they believe it’s the right thing to keep everyone safe. Unlike that tour operator who clearly don’t see that way.

See on the news the loons out in force protesting again down your way. Freedom is not much use if you dead. Sadly they will know donut kills others long before them.
Loons? They are people with another view Tom. The lockdowns/guidelines serve no real purpose (other than to try to validate a failed 6/7 month long farce) and they will only produce negative consequences. If a child cannot attend his mothers funeral. If a mother has to choose which of her children can attend hers. If you cannot buy a book in Wales to save you from Covid (epidemic over in June) something is plainly wrong. To an ever growing many, supporters of this absolute nonsense might well be loons.
Because the app operates anonymously. as the article says, ways are being sought to bring app users within the scope of the payment scheme. But privacy demands make that difficult
Your post is yet another example of negative spin.
If you can’t afford to isolate you can’t choose how ever your told. Not difficult to work out it’s been pointed out enough times. But then again many in power are not known for understanding what living in real world is like.

Cynical idealist
I don't understand how people think anyone can fix this immediately and keep an economy like nothing has occurred. Granted no one in power knows how the regular guy lives as it doesn't affect them but you can't have everything. Wether you agree with the truth or the conspiracies this event is unprecedented and has to change the way everyone does things including what we call right and normal wether we agree or not. Yes it is causing havoc, hardship, distress across the board but no one person or power has a magic solution that they can just go Da-Da! with.
Many blinding believe the mass of crap that’s around that has as nothing to do with reality or fact. Or based on anything other than a bunch of cranks with very dubious backgrounds. Which will only endanger others is not just people expressing a different view. It’s a danger to public health bordering on a cult.
