    …this lockdown could be extended. As we move into the New Year and Brexit kicks in, the Cummings Johnson Dictatorship will no doubt declare a national emergency thus giving themselves unlimited powers.

    The transition period should be extended by at least 6 months. Not to do so would indicate their plan is total chaos.

    Anyone who thinks this is ‘Project Fear’ should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

    And that is the real reason schools and universities, the biggest spreaders of the virus, haven't been included.

    Oh dear look it doesn't seem to make much difference. Let's extend it a bit

    The lockdown was so successful we are doing it again and if that fails we will do it some more.

    Doing it again but a lot less strict than the first one that didn't work and didn't go far enough.

    It's not so much that it isn't as strict because for those affected it is very strict. It's just that it completely ignored the obvious problem area. In fact not only does it ignore the problem area and urges the spreaders to continue but in an absolutely crazy turn of events the prime minister told the most vulnerable he won't ask them to shield either

    We're in a situation where the most healthy people are being told to lockdown and stay in their homes, the most vulnerable being told not to shield and the spreaders told to carry on.

    It's beyond parody

    Its almost as if we are admitting the problem with Schools in that if we shut them, they will have to stay shut. Then just ahurring everything else instead.

    Do you think this lockdown could last even longer than the first lockdown?

    Its obviously a possibility, Yes.
