Definitely football related

4700 people allowed in the O2 to watch a concert.

So that's both the O2 and the Royal Albert Hall allowing thousands of people in DECEMBER.

Maybe the Government will allow football crowds back in December, but just haven't announced it yet.

That moron has also told people to go to the cinema today. He is completely clueless

Don’t forget other countries are now allowing fans, albeit strict numbers in to the stadiums.

We’ve known about Johnson’s incompetence since before he was elected, some just seemingly chose to ignore it.

The wider issue is, whilst there’s no fans in the ground, at the top level the games have gone bonkers, and that makes great TV so the media companies couldn’t care less if they ever return...

Well should these events take place the pressure to allow fans back to watch all sports will become immense and it may be Boris’s Christmas gift to allow spectators to return.

Cambridge fans have been told that they will be getting an announcement this weekend to look forward to and they think it is that the pilot scheme of fans coming back into the ground will be restarting.

Fingers crossed.

Reading this article made me wonder whether this is the thinking behind it.

If this is the case it's bad news for football (well unless we all want to sit in a stand not talking) but explains why cinemas are open (well apart from Cineworld). I've no plans to go to the cinema myself, quite apart from the virus there is nothing on.

But if this is the case why aren't we told to be quiet on public transport?

The PR implications of telling the population not to talk on public transport would be disastrous - no matter the political make up of a government, it would get slaughtered for that.

This government is in a dreadful position philosophically. The Tory party believes in small government and minimal intervention in people's lives but is in a position where it is having to make 'Big Brother' decisions every day and has had to introduce a number of measures that look positively socialist, as well as lauding the great beacon of socialism; the NHS.

I have no sympathy for them, I deplore Johnson and his incompetent cabal of old school tie 'chums' but I can see their dilemma.

I dislike the Tories deeply but I can also acknowledge the dilemma they're facing.

However, I do believe the whole thing could (and still can) be handled better, so Covid-19 has seriously exposed their flaws. Like any organisation, the experience you get from people on the ground is a reflection of the people (or person) at the top.

This government is riddled with indecision, and it stems from Boris and his cabinet. Fair enough, these are unprecedented times and maybe we should cut them some slack. But no, sorry, too many people are losing their jobs and not seeing loved ones in their hour of need.

There are a lot of nations out there who are handling the virus much better than us. It's hitting everyone hard but quite honestly I don't think this government really knows what it's doing one day to the next. There's no grand plan. It's all been reactive and nothing proactive.

I'm being told by the prime minister to go to the cinema but we can't go and see my frail old gran in her care home. We can go to the pub and drink with mates but I can't invite my parents round to spent time with their grandson (I live in Leeds, so these rules apply).

We can't go to a football ground to support our team but, hey, go and have a meal at a restaurant!

Yes, coronavirus is damaging a lot of economies around the world, and I believe this government is contributing to the damage, not resolving it as best it could.

Im not convinced that any government would get slaughtered - they just need to message it right. Although that is something that Boris and Cummings are incapable of to be honest. The problem is that it would conflict with the the virus won't get you in pubs before 10pm message but at 10.01 your stuffed message they are trying to convey at the moment.

Oh dear, let’s not be bad-mouthing the government please, the Ministry of Propoganda volunteers will be crying on here soon.

Everything is absolutely fine and the tax payer isn’t getting absolutely robbed!
