You could always push a note through their letterbox and run away. :-)
and here's what he ACTUALLY said.
“I have never much been in favour of sneak culture, myself," Mr Johnson told The Sun.

“What people should do in the first instance is obviously if they are concerned is raise it with their friends and neighbours.

“But I think what is reasonable for anyone to do is if they think there is a serious threat to public health as a result of their neighbour's activities – if there is some huge kind of Animal House party taking place, as I am sure, hot tubs and so forth, and there is a serious threat to public health then it's reasonable for the authorities to know.”
Sounds like some furious back peddling going on. The whole 'rule of six' is flawed anyway.

In what way?
Ymb, also Boris is not back peddling as he did not make the original statement, Priti Patel did.
> if there is some huge kind of Animal House party taking place, as I am sure, hot tubs and so forth, and there is a serious threat to public health

AND there is a serious threat to public health? So it's only if there's a *serious* threat to public health that the authorities should be called, not simply more than six people getting together which isn't that serious. I see. That is so clear ... not (I'm sure BJ loves a "not" joke).
Let us divide, and we shall conquer. The state shall inform you what and when you do what we require.
Those that police us, will next be policed themselves.
Did Priti Patel say "I would personally snitch but I would advise others not to"?
No she did not, in so far as it's possibly to decipher anything she says.
The implication tho is obvious.
One of her neighbours was not impressed
"I'd tell her to do one" she commented.
All this does is create division among people, although for now it does seem to have united most people against the mixed messages coming from the cabinet.
no what she said was this
“Well, that’s your call. That’s a choice of yours."
what part of that is unclear?
and I don't even like the blooming woman
Quoting your quote:

“I think anybody would want to take responsibility and ensure we’re not spreading this awful disease and therefore if I saw gatherings or more than six people clearly I would report that.”

I agree there’s a subtle shift of pronoun midway though which is why I said “decipher” but I think it’s pretty clear where she’s coming from.
Did she really say people should be “conscientious to one another”? What on earth does that mean?
She's a rambling, gibbering incompetent.

It's what makes her such a good fit in this government.
she'd fit in well on AB then
Danny..13 @ 14.01. That is the first post from you, that ever made any sense, well done.
///ymb//The whole 'rule of six' is flawed anyway.//

How long have you got, Danny?

So arbitrary is it that the authorities across the four UK nations cannot even come close to agreeing a common strategy on the issue. Look at this page from the BBC which explains the rules (which were said to "make it simple" for people to understand):

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51506729

You will see a diagram with the four nations across the top and three features of the rules down the side. If it were simple there would be just three identical entries, one for each of the three features common to each of the four countries. In fact there are eleven different ones (out of a maximum possible of twelve) and a couple of footnotes. An absolute farce.

So, to the English "rule of six" then: I can invite five people into my house for a beer. Chuck them out and then invite five more in for coffee and biscuits. Chuck them out and invite five more in for sandwiches whilst we watch "Match of the Day." Then I could chuck them out....(I'm sure you get the point).

Then I can go to the pub and have a drink with five mates. Leave there, meet Mrs NJ and two other couples and the six of us can go for a curry. On the way home we can call in at our neighbours and have a coffee with them and their two children.

In fact it is worse than flawed. It is a pointless restriction that serves no identifiable purpose other than to make life unpleasant for people who want to meet in larger groups. Other than it it's just about perfect.
