End Of Lockdown Restrictions

[Dagman]

Restrictions change on Dec 2nd, so.... Mrs Dag going to hairdresser on 2nd, but... is that the last day? meaning restrictions still apply all day until Dec 3rd begins just after midnight? Many sources on the net don't agree!

[Dagman]

We'll call them, see the score. Thanks.

I tend to agree, Mamy. But (there’s always a but with me)…

We have here continually changing legislation backed by the threat of very hefty fixed penalties (far heftier than would be imposed if the defendant took the matter to court – a fact acknowledged by the National Police Chiefs’ Council only last week). In this case the hairdresser could face a demand of at least £1,000. With that in mind, the very least the scribes who are tasked with getting all this together should do is to get the bloody dates sorted out. A couple of us on here have just identified a straightforward discrepancy with the dates which the PM has broadcast to the nation. We’re not paid to do so. Those who are – and there are enough of them and they’re paid enough - should get it right.

Good luck Dagman, Mrs Dag will soon be beautifully coiffed.

i have no idea if our hairdressers will open again,but if they are i will make the next available appointment. sadly he doesn't have an answerphone or anyway to contact him but go there and find out.

I've e-mailed my local MP about it. I'm not expecting to receive a response prior to either of the two dates mentioned...

[Dagman]

All they had to say is a date and inclusion, ie; lockdown up to and including Dec 2nd (if the 3rd is the actual start of relaxations). Bad choosing of words has been common throughout causing confusion.

I agree. It really is unforgiveable. All they had to do was use military terminology:

The lockdown will begin at 0001 5th November and end at 2359 2nd December. Plain, simple and easily understood.

A government that can’t govern. Ministers not fit for purpose. We moan, and look at each other and obey. This debacle has gone on way too long. We have no leader worthy of the title. MPs are busy passing the buck, keeping their heads down, or ignoring the obvious. What a shoddy nation we have become in so short a time.
Lions led by donkeys, more like lambs to the slaughter.
Lest we forget...
