I once said that every Christmas the papers run articles about the "great Christmas getaway", and how it will be inconvenienced by repairs or unions. And that the only people interested in it are London based journalists preparing for their annual trip home to see the folks, and said folks waiting for them.

I suspect the same thing here. Freedom for piling into the pub at 3.00.

Quite.
Is going to a tacky night club really a matter of life and death?

Oh God, the Mail is going to be acting like it's VE Day, aren't they?

Expect a "Glorious 32 page souvenir to celebrate release from the biggest restriction of liberties in human history"

It's like the Tory base are edgy young libertarians rather than pensioners.

I'll be surprised if they're not busy.

According to the Today programme, people were queuing outside them awaiting the stroke of midnight revelry like it was New Year's Eve.

A comment posted on a thread I started on Facebook, by an ex-pupil:
Kept up last night by what I though was a riot, or a sports celebration, then sounded like a party, possibly with someone on a PA system. Lots of cheering loudly. Very tired this morning wondering what kind of idiots keep everyone up on a Sunday night. Then it dawned on me, the cheer was at midnight… Twats.

I shall excercise my freedom of choice to carry on socially distancing and mask wearing for a while. It'll be easy to take responsibility to admit it if I'm wrong because it means no unnecessary long term illnesses and deaths occurred.

Hopefully a day or two. Apart from a slight cough, I feel fine.

At the moment I am still being wary. I have no intention of visiting Plague Island for a while, I will continue to distance and wear a mask indoors. Thankfully Switzerland doesn't have the same concentration of fuckwits as the UK and staff have no compunction in enforcing the rules. The Bundesrat had more sense than to lift everything.

I'm going to carry on wearing masks and social distancing simply because nobody's given me any reason not to.

A yoot gave James O'Brien an interesting twist on personal responsibility earlier, adamant that it only extended to his personal risk by going to a club and not to those around him on public transport or in the office the following day.

Of course there is, the chaotic, multi-valent idiocy runs by its own logic.

If you'd like a game of "Guess When The Drubbing Will Commence"

Still, nice day out for the GB News viewers forum.

What else have they to moan about, the “won” the referendum after all?

Seems they are unemployed or on Furlough or retired I guess.
