Wheeler is reporting the link via an unverified alt as she lost her password.

fuck's sake i'm really sorry affected ilxors

Fucking devastated if this is true, ngl.

So,

1) What is Tier 4?
2) what is south east?

my sources say the death penalty being considered for christmas. I am pro-christmas and take no pleasure in reporting this.

Tier 4 is when a plague doctor paints a cross on your door and their is a 24 hour military curfew.

So, jesus is coming down and it's the start of the Rapture. But only on the Isle of Wight...

international travel not advised

sad to hear captain tom moore (currently in barbados wtf) is cancelled

That rule only applies to real people, made up py ops are exempt.

Lol psy ops

is rishi going to refund all the money that people have already spent on big christmas dinners, travel etc. sister-in-common-law is going to have some mission putting away all the food she'd bought fs

also where's my piss5 voucher rishi u wee fuck

Piss5s for Turkeys trade in

I’d have been shiting on about how terrible it was if they hadnt done this with cases getting out of control and lockdowns coming down like dominos all over Europe but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna complain about it now obv

So many people gonna be distraught after having this false promise dangled in front of them

Hundreds of people dying every day and Christmas cancelled, def worth it for 3 weeks of joyless scotch egg boozing tho obv

at least in part because the cunt prime minister didn't have the guts to be honest about this a month or more back and manage expectations

big sympathy for others but of course i dunno whether i'm in "the east" or not yet

Despairing lol at this thing about the mutant strain forcing them to cancel, rather than the numbers that have been rising steadily for months

“I’d love to let you have Christmas, folks, but the MUTANT STRAIN had other ideas, nobody’s fault”

Yeah that excuse came fucking gift wrapped for them, cunts must have thought Chr***mas had come early

he was taunting Kiermit with "you want to cancel Christmas" when? This week?

Muppets christmas carol

I’m so furious. We’ve got no food in the house cos we’d planned a Christmas bubble. Now, I need to go to my local supermarket, in a shopping centre on the Sat before Christmas, in London’s COVID hotspot, all because these cunts buried their heads in the sand and ignored reality.

Gov press conference on this in eight minutes i think

Did not want to watch this cunt but I have to now..

This is 10 mins late..

harrumph! not happy with my football commentary on R Leeds getting interrupted by this bumbling arsehole.

Tier 4 restrictions in London and other parts of England tomorrow
London, the South East and East of England will enter a new tier four level of restrictions from tomorrow morning, the prime minister says.

These will be broadly equivalent to national restrictions which were introduced in England in November, Boris Johnson says.

Residents in those areas must stay at home, with limited exemptions. Non-essential retails and indoors gyms must close.

People should work from home when they can, and should not enter or leave tier four areas. Communal worship may continue.

The restrictions will last for two weeks and will be reviewed on 30 December.

"there's no evidence" vs "there's evidence that it doesn't"

We escaped being put into tier 3 on Thursday so I guess we’re not going into tier 4 then?

And nothing about restricting the Xmas window for the rest of the country, do I have that right?

no, i think it’s changed for everyone. no staying overnight (hello drink driving), “stay local”, and one other household only?

and it’s just christmas day, sorry, i think?

I saw "Reduced to 1 day" for the rest of the country

Ah sorry reading the shitty graun summary, don’t wanna watch

So, I guess that's the hotel in Newcastle cancelled then.

I think I’m gonna be breaking the law & going on the 27th after my isolation period is done rather than bringing it forward 2 days which would be less safe

Christmas Day only = lol fuck you if your family aren’t within walking distance and you don’t have a car, basically

This is kafkaesque

Communal worship may continue.

Pathetic

You're just being trolled by BoJo at this point lads

well boris johnson just said “we have to face up to reality” and i for one believe it’s time the public finally listened to him

can’t wait for boris’ approval rating to briefly dip two points over this latest fuckup

if they always gave absolute credulity to any public health announcements he and the govt made in the last year you'd also be taking on ideas like herd immunity without a vaccine, the patriotic duty to go to pubs/prets, the selfishness of work from homers all sorts of crazy bullshit. Not that I completely disagree with him this time (but I've accepted I'm living a monastic existence to the death now!), but it won't be surprising if many people don't feel inclined to listen to him. He should never have been dangling this idea of a mangled Christmas for months now, good leadership or opposition isn't about doing or saying what makes you popular during the worst public health crisis since the 20's. But unfortunately we have neither.

sub-editor (mE) angry at the work being done here by semi-colons until fact-checker (also me) beladedly points out that hastings is in east sussex not surrey

can’t wait for boris’ approval rating to briefly dip two points over this latest fuckup

Yes indeed.
