    So as of today I can go to a gym but I cannot go to a pub or restaurant.

    As **** as it is, I sort of understand that one. Gyms are good for fitness and mental wellbeing. Going out for a meal and a few jars isn't good for physical fitness.

    Going to a pub right now would be ideal for my mental wellbeing.

    It's only good for your mental wellbeing, if you like going to the gym. It's something Boris keeps saying, but the same could be said for going to the pub or a restaurant.

    During the lockdown, my physical condition has been better than it has for years, and I've not gone anywhere near a gym (unless I've ran past one).

    I've found drinking cheap cider in the park great. Obviously the rule of 6 cans applies.

    It's worse than that, I can play full contact rugby (no mauls or scrums though) but I can't go into the changing room.

    Brilliant that as of today I can visited a packed retail store or keep going to a busy supermarket, but can't sit in a pub at a covid secure table for a catch up with anyone I don't live with.

    Rugby’s a strange one isn’t it. The players don’t walk out together or shake hands before the match yet during play they can climb on top of each other spitting and snorting and sweating a much as usual. Then at the end they can shake hands or embrace etc.

    The whole thing is just plain STUPID with no logic applied

    I agree - not seen my mates for ages. Not doing my mental wellbeing much good to be honest

    Starmer could have told his party to vote against these tiers instead of abstaining

    I am off to spend 3 hours in a Primark queue from some cheap tat then I'll treat myself to a take out latte from one of the 3 coffee shops open in town before nipping up Doncaster road around the back of the old coach n Horses where I can get some sexploited nubile eastern European lass to massage away my aches and pains before allowing me to spoff all over her norks.

    Tonight, Im going to invite two fresh faced ladies around for all kinds of debauchery. And the cleaner tomorrow to sort the mess.

    Friday I am off to York, going to the cinema where I can have a gallon before the film but I dont need to buy a meal. Saturday to Harrogate. Five pints and a sandwich before going to the game. where I an buy more ale as long as i sit down to drink it... No food required.

    I guess the problem is, what happens if it is voted down? No restrictions at all? Back to lockdown? Back to previous tiers? This vote should've been done weeks ago, then if it was voted down, it could've been done with the message of 'come up with a better plan'. Also shows how poor the system of voting 'aye' or 'no' is, should be a case of vote for one thing or an alternative to it.

    If he had there would have been no restrictions at all today. No-one can seriously believe we don't need any.

    That’s probably because you may have visited a packed supermarket.

    Yeah, it's only 70,000 deaths, with 600 new ones announced every day. John Coucom's normal life is far more important.
