Xmas cancelled. Or is it?

Assuming most of you have seen the latest press conference. Apparently Christmas is cancelled.

Do you think these announcements are going to make a blind bit of difference? Will anyone listen? Personally I doubt it.

It's just changed my already limited plans for Xmas. I and my family will all be respecting the new tier, much as it sucks. I truly hope others also grasp the gravity of the situation.

I’m well chuffed it’s cancelled from a selfish viewpoint. No pressure on any of my vulnerable family round here to host. The decision was taken from them.

It isn't great for anyone hoping to see family etc.. though I guess they wouldn't be making this decision if it wasn't as serious as it is.

I think what bothers me the most about everything the government have done so far is they keep hedging their bets until then absolute last minute on everything .. then usually at the 11th hour start making announcements.

Two things I think need to change

Firstly the government needs to start being more realistic about things than ambitious hoping things will work out.

Secondly, every single one of us needs to stop 'planning' anything that is outside just a normal simple existence .. that way people don't get upset when things don't happen .. Realistically the situation is so volatile anyone really is taking a risk when they decide to do something. I am sure there are even people now deciding about Summer holidays and weekends away etc .. that to me seems very foolish to even consider.

The government should bite the bullet and admit that despite them saying we were not having a national lockdown again as we did in March the reality is that we are absolutely going to get one. That way we can all plan accordingly instead of the current ' Can/ can't/ maybe ' approach Boris keeps using.

Lastly, of course, there are going to be those who get antsy about Christmas and decide that ' no one's going to stop me visiting my n{ insert name/relationship} here ) etc.I guess is a simple truth is they should be thinking responsibly and cancelling plans they have made .. lets hope at least some of them do ..

I find this bonkers. It's certainly not essential to sit in a church, mosque, synagogue etc. Our church has been shut since March, there's a Christmas thingy on Zoom on Christmas Eve.

And what about all the, students in tier 4 that will come back into all other tiered areas of England. Shouldn't that now be stopped in January.. Boris,. If you are saying no travel from tier 4 then stop more nonsense happening which is what will happen once more, when the students all head back up this way in January

My family have already decided it is just not worth the risk.

Realy pissed off,, if all the people took notice of the first lockdown, students, rave organisers, demonstrators, pubs and restaurants etc thinking they were clever, we might not be in quite as much shit as we are now. The government and police should of acted in the blatant cases back along. Just read some blokes been caught 3 times holding large parties.. The areas affected seem to reflect the past compliance, Kent being one of the worst areas for ignoring restrictions.

No, you're correct. But in tier 3, you couldn't invite them either (apart from the Christmas bit). In tier 4, there's no inviting anyone on Christmas Day either though, unfortunately.

We've been in tier 3 since forever and not allowed to invite anyone to our home at all.

Let's be blunt, if you don't live with family, don't have a car, and don't live within a few miles if you go by public transport, that means you're alone for Xmas.

If everyone adheres to the rules in London and the South East, hopefully it doesn't spread too much out of this area.

If everyone outside of the South East and London keeps contact to a minimum, we can hopefully prevent the services in these areas from being overwhelmed.

If needed, resources can be redistributed from low to high pressure areas.

I hope people adhere.

I've not seen my family and friends in West and North Yorkshire for anywhere between 12 -10 months now.

Except my mum, dad and sister, who I saw when restrictions were loosened in summer, which coincided with my grandad's funeral.

I was looking forward to seeing them for a few days, and waving to my closest friends after dropping a card and gift off for them and their kids.

I don't have a car so there's no way I can he there and back in a day.

Yep, none of it makes a difference.

It's been painfully apparent for a long time that the UK (at least Englands) covid policy has been to watch what EU countries do and then copy them regardless of whether the policies are workable, sensible or not (most often NOT).

The one time Westminster has it's own idea (Christmas bubbles) they backtrack as soon as it's clear that it's out of step with European thinking.

All it's done is make Boris look like a tool and given legitimacy to that tin pot tyrant, d*unk-with-power Mark Drakeford.

Well yes, I mean a virus is not sentient, but I requires close proximity of individuals to be passed on.

They can bollocks

New variant spreading faster my arse

Spreads 70% faster than the original variant - which spreaded 70% faster than flu.

You couldn’t write this shit.

We are nowhere near the levels of April, yet they are spoon feeding us this expecting us to swallow it whole.

They can jog on, this is all about control. They must be sat in meeting rooms thinking up what crock if shit they can get past us this time.

A few miles down the road its Tier 2 and I can go get a curry in a restaurant, but I can’t see my parents on the 26th - who will be watching my kids when I go back to work on the 27th.

Italy (x2)

Argentina (x3)

Columbian (x1)

Spain (x1)

Worldwide travel, no testing, no restrictions, no return compulsory 14 day self isolation required.

Today they will be set to spend the holidays in their own back yard in tier 3 with maximum restrictions on being within 2 metres of their own family.

And what about the poor buggers that work in supermarkets being around thousands of people each day - but not allowed to spend Christmas with their families and friends

I'm in Tier 4 now and quite honestly am really upset about Christmas.

Especially after spending most of the year alone.

I'm lucky and have a local family bubble - but so many don't.

Hugs to the people that are alone.

But remember it's temporary x

I agree yes people really are trying and its not even that the rules are ineffective but that you are fighting an organism designed over millenia to do exactly what it is doing. It really is a fight against nature and not one that is going to be easy to win.

My thoughts exactly, people are losing confidence in these rules etc

Then they need to grow up.

Or maybe it's better for people to think for themselves, take responsibility and use their better judgement than to rely on being spoon fed and infantilised by the government and "The Science" "

Sadly a lot don't seem to have great judgement or be willing to take responsibility hence the need to grow up.

You only have to read the status updates on this site over the last few months to see there is an ignorant,selfish minority on here who continually hint at or even blatantly outright ask for meets with randoms. Unbelievable. So if that is a barometer of peoples idea of obeying the rules then we are in for a hell of a long road back to any type of normality.

But why shut stuff that has had a negliable effect on infection rates (gyms, cinemas for example). It just messes with people's health.

Most people respect the restrictions but those happy to have others to blame will find examples. They are just not typical of the millions of people who have made huge sacrifices this year.

I think the holidays will fuel a rise in infections but they will be far lower than they would have been otherwise.

Due to lack of confirmed information I wasn’t sure if the 12.01 tier 4 lock down would be in law so I had to take a mad rush to my brothers to pick up Xmas presents. Socially distanced of course

It has been a nightmare as prior to lock down in November he was t1 and we were t2 so we couldn’t go around. Then post lockdown were were t3 him t2, then he moved in to t3 and now we are both t4

He is 6 miles away, we had a buffet lunch planned for Boxing Day. A few hours when the 5 of us could spend time together which we haven’t this year.

We could have ignored abs still went around Boxing Day. Like my parents said if it’s law we can’t. If I was on my own and lived with no one else I probably would have said fuck it and gone.

None of my Christmas bubble are going out to work. They're either furloughed or wfh. The contact we have with others is minimal such as in supermarkets. Not sure why, in this situation, ignoring the rules is stupid or selfish. Many key workers etc have been banging on about the risks of their jobs so it's understandable why they should be limiting their contact with others. People who get out daily with work and see others have interaction with many others. Sitting at home 24/7 for 9 months is mentally challenging so for Xmas day and Boxing day, my bubble with meet up as planned.

To be fair, even if it is law, the police have said they're not going to enforcw anything unless they see someone having like a party with 30 people. Frankly I don't see many people listening to it this time round and not seeing family on Christmas day

I think a few on here are now beginning to appreciate that, although no country has been unscathed by covid, the United Kingdom has been spectacularly badly let down by its leadership.

At every stage where slightly earlier, slightly tougher, more decisive action could have led to lower casualties and faster easing of restrictions, the ones making the law and setting the rules have prevaricated, failed to understand the seriousness of the situation, played political games, used the crisis as an excuse to embezzle vast sums of money, and in general utterly failed in their duty to the people of the country.

Arguably everybody in the country should share some part of the blame, but the ultimate authority and thus the ultimate responsibility lies with the leader of this country. The prime minister has consistently failed to take the difficult road that could both save lives and preserve the economy, has only ever belatedly reacted to events instead of being in any way pro-active, and in many cases only made a "decision" when forced into it by the people of the country making the first moves. For example, mandating the first close down of schools only after more than half of the schools had been forced to close by decisions of the parents and the schools staff.

There is an argument that nobody could properly predict the need for the first lockdown, and that he must be the excused doing it too late and not rigorously enough - though not a good argument as there was already plenty of examples of European countries making that error, plus the experience from the pandemic planning exercise barely more than a year earlier. But even if we do excuse that, there is lockdown number two, too little and too late, and now effectively a Christmas lockdown, too little and too late. Whatever the advice, it is the prime minister that makes the decisions - wrong once, wrong twice, wrong three times.

We also have the "cummings" incident, that has done more to undermine the message of covid precautions than absolutely anything else. It was the prime ministers responsibility to make sure that those setting the rules did not undermine those rules. The nit picking by mr cummings that technically he did not break the rules and that he was just "doing what any parent would" served only to give a very loud message that everybody was free to ignore the spirit and intention of the rules, that any loophole could be exploited with no personal responsibility for the collective good of the country, and that everyone was free to "do what any parent would do". Although this was the actions of the PMs advisor, again the responsibility for the unarguably detrimental effects on the health and welfare of the country lies with the prime minister. The PM had a responsibility to censure the actions of cummings, obtain a public apology from him, and terminate his employment. This was within the power of the PM, but he chose instead to excuse the actions of an unelected official being paid from the public purse, thus weakening the bio-security of the country. All extra deaths (and for those who find money more important, all extra impact on the economy) caused by this decision are the responsibility of the PM. Those saying that it was impossible for the PM to forego the aid of his most important advisor - funny how the advisor was suddenly very disposable the instant that the PMs girlfriend expressed her dislike of him...

Another bloody essay from Polly. Bottom line - if your christmas has been ruined, start demanding forcefully that the government and the prime minister must answer to their responsibility for the situation.

I am really really fearful for the mental health of people now!!!

My daughter has told me her uni is meant to have a mental health help line, a friend of hers was massively depressed was on meds and when she rang was told someone may be able to get back to her in February!!!!

"You only get one life and you need to live it is my opinion. Everyone enjoy your Christmas behind the sofa shaking like a shitting dog.

I will have my family around me, as they like me are not going to let some overhyped scaremongers take away our Christmas. We are all healthy adults so the risk from this virus is less than 1% to our existence going forward.

Before anyone starts lobbing stones my way think to yourselves if you have ever left the house previously with a head cold or a flu then you have posed serious risk to people with low immune system or Asthma or COPD.

If the neighbours send the Old Bill round then I will crowdfund the fines. ??????

Merry Christmas, Enjoy it like it’s yer last. I know I will."

Police don't have power of entry so just don't answer the door. We have CCTV all around the house so we can see who is there. Enjoy your Christmas with your family x

Yet again a selfish attitude.

Its no great problem for everyone to take a very quiet careful xmas for one year with the hope that things will improve a lot later on next year, it may be an unique experience you may enjoy give it a try and see, then with some luck more will be around to live life to the full. Keep in mind that there are a lot of seriously ill folks about that need the hospitals.

From the land of haribos.

It is not cancelled as such, as the restrictions are mostly only affecting the shops, you can still have christmas at home.

Mum is not well at all and in tier 2 so now can't see her she might not make next Christmas.

I would guess I'm not the only one in this position

"Christmas isn't cancelled. Just people's concept of Christmas is having to be altered.

Most people will quietly get on with their Christmas plans as best they can without shouting anything from the rooftops about breaking rules or preaching any sanctimonious bullshit.

I really hope everyone enjoys Christmas the best way they can x

For me I hope it's dry so I can work in the garden and get some sanity.

Christmas is only cancelled if you are so dense as to believe everything the government say and are unable to think for yourself.

Have a merry Christmas and make the most of it with your loved ones. If this virus is so dangerous, by their own admission, why wait until next year to spend it with loved ones when they might not be here.

You only get one shot at life and by fuck it isn’t half a short life.

The part I don't understand is why Xmas is one day, and no overnight stays.

In previous years, I've been invited to spend the day with a friend and his family.

Under the current rules, I think I can spend the day, in the same room, but not sleep alone in the spare room.

If I hadn't caught a virus during the day, and no new people arrive, I fail to see the risk in sleeping.

Never mind, won't be the first Xmas alone, at least I'm not working.

"From what I read, at least "places of worship" can still pack the infected faithful in

And I thought the various gods were omnipresent and could be worshipped from anywhere. "

God squad are immune from Covid didnt you know ?
