This lockdown by stealth is just killing them as it is.
Spoken to a few publicans this morning, and they are tearing their hair out - they all expect it to be shut down with an announcement today - but if it isn't they are being killed by directives telling people not to go, but not getting any support.
I was at a Xmas do at Milsoms on Friday, there was due to be 200 there but ended up as 80 - I'm not sure what refund policy was but the industry is absolutely on it's knees at the moment. |  |

I think there is a high chance of inside hospitality being closed even from tomorrow but almost certainly from the 27th.
Guess we will find out after the meeting at 2pm.

They'll probably wait until after Christmas, to make it look a bit better. Question is really what support they'll bring in. Will they use outdoor dining (in December/January!) as an excuse not to? |  |

I’m expecting everything shut again the longer it goes on. They’ll probably make announcement as late as possible.
We cancelled our Xmas do as people didn’t want to ruin Xmas. The high street was dead today but it is monday morning I had my booster before my slot as it was so quiet. |  |

I think they'll restrict hospitality but let people make their own mind up re mixing with others outside of that. I can't see how they can try to enforce anything relating to the latter and lots of otherwise very compliant people would potentially ignore it. |  | | |

Two good friends of mine have 2 restaurants here in Weymouth, we had our works doo at one last Thursday.
They'd had 4 cancellations as of last Thursday that was worth £15,000 + to them. Nothing they can do. More have cancelled since. |  | | |

Someone I know who owns a bar restaurant lost 90% of business last weeks so shut the place down on Saturday. He loses less money with it shut than open. |  |

I wouldn't at all be surprised. Things are slowly being taken out of their hands in any case as places shut due to staff shortages. They'll continue to prevaricate, but ultimately will probably end up doing something too little, too late which causes thousands of unnecessary deaths. Again. |  |

Wouldn't be surprised if tougher measures will come in from next Monday. |  |

But people are choosing to mix knowing the potential consequences. That isn't on the government necessarily alone is it? If you don't want to catch (or spread) the thing now then quite simply don't go out. If you trust the vaccine and you're somehow only mixing with those that also trust the vaccine then do.
But I do agree that clarity is needed for businesses. | | | |

According to some news sources they are talking about pubs and restaurants closing early again. I still can't see the logic in that. |  | | |

Reports suggesting there'll be a 2 week circuit breaker after xmas:
- Indoor mixing banned
- Pubs and restaurants outdoors only
- Rule of 6 outdoors to return
- Schools and shops to remain open |  |

You think some people would ignore it before Christmas, after Christmas or both?

Well obviously some people would ignore it regardless.
I think plenty would ignore it if it was imposed to stop mixing in a house on 24, 25 and 26 Dec. Less so if it was introduced from the 27th. | | | |

I fear this.
It’s incredibly unfair. Hospitality bears the brunt of these restrictions every time and ends up running businesses into the ground. Whether that being loss of increase or the ridiculous measures they have to put in place in order for them to re-open.
People choose to go to the pub, social event, a football match or any live event. Nobody makes you. If people have had their jabs and trust their effectiveness then let people carry on. If people are unsure then they can stay away.
They should be focussing on the places with the highest infection rates. Care homes and hospitals. And also supermarkets. People have to shop for food and basic goods, but the supermarkets are not well managed at all and the allowance of panic buying was absolutely absurd. Poor old Doris needs some milk, so they should be providing her with the safest possible environment to do this. If Dagenham Dave fancies a pint then it’s up to him. | | | |

pubs and restaurants will have bought in the food for Christmas, I can't see them being closed until after it
I saw Isaacs were selling NYE tickets yesterday which was...hopeful |  |

I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting. How do you make supermarkets safer? |  | | |

Pubs & restaurants outside only - that's going to work well in December & January. Looks like a clever way of trying to let these businesses stay open so they don't have to subsidise them.
Rule of 6 outdoors - near pointless. |  |

Absolute c units. If they want to avoid the jab themselves that's one thing (a foolish, selfish thing), but to prevent others from getting the jab is crossing the line. Utter asshats.
How did GB news report it I wonder? Gleefully? | | | |

I said a while back it will be announced on Christmas Eve and come into force on Boxing Day.
No inside info, just a complete lack of faith in the shambles of a government to act until it's too late.
One day, Chris Whitty will likely write a book and it will make for incredible reading. |  |
