| Tiers after lockdown, England |
A year ago my life - everyone's life - was so different.
None could have imagined that free and easy Britain would have become
unrecognisable, our freedom drastically curtailed in what is becoming a
totalitarian style governed country. New measures announced for England by the prime
minister to crack down on the second phase of coronavirus in a three tier system
of English restrictions leave over 90 percent of England facing disruption and, for many,
hardship or even disaster. The hospitality industry, including pubs, just
starting to recover and depending on the vital Christmas trade, have been dealt a
deadly blow.
In trying to be firm and avoid the confusion of the past systems
the government appears to have antagonised most of England. Many
Conservative MPs are up in arms over the harsh new lifestyle. Some rural towns
and villages which have had few or even no cases have found themselves in tier
two, facing serious disruption, especially in holiday areas reliant on visitors.
You can never please all the people all the time but the prime minister somehow
manages to upset almost all the people all the time.
He is certainly making
this a bleak winter. You can't please all the people
all the time but the government is finding that it can mystify and infuriate
most of the people most of the time.
