New Restrictions.

TLDR: New Restrictions.
The forum thread discusses recent changes to COVID-19 restrictions affecting Christmas plans in the UK, specifically the shift to Tier 4 which prohibits family visits during the holiday. Users express frustration over the sudden changes and skepticism about public adherence to these rules, citing past government officials' behavior as a reason why some might ignore the new guidelines. There is a general sentiment of disappointment and distrust towards the government's handling of the situation, with some users deciding to stay home and limit their holiday celebrations in response to the risk of spreading the virus. Others debate the logic of the restrictions, humorously questioning if the virus "takes a break" on Christmas Day. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of frustration, resignation, and compliance among participants regarding the holiday season under heightened COVID-19 restrictions.

So announced earlier that we can't have people visit for Christmas now. Most of the country have been put in Tier 4.
Government only said the other day that we're allowed to see family :( big change in the space of a few days.

Yep, It is ridiculous.
Myself and I am sure Millions of others have made plans over Christmas. I am not changing my plans. I have kept to the rules all year.
 
I very much doubt anyone will listen to the no visiting family over christmas thing.

People are going to think back to Dominic Cummings and be like "i bet he's doing what he wants just like the others in government so we will just do what we want as well, when the government follow their own rules the rest of us will"
 
Im not bothered this year Catsmother Im happy to stay in with plenty of food and good shows on TV.
My friend Karen who come's every week said she wont be here for a while she is still going to work and she doesn't want to give the virus to me.
