Why would it be the opposite? It’s Mingling that is illegal, more danger of Mingling after ten i reckon, unless everyone just starts drinking an hour earlier of course.

Well, this was appeared in one of my WhatsApp groups about 1 minute after announcement:

I'm guessing because it will concentrate more people into a smaller time slot rather than having them spread out over a longer period.

Cos people will drink faster, get drunker, will all go home at the same time and then have house parties drinking in smaller spaces

By the by, two random interjections:
1. At work, a university, we've been told they won't be cleaning rooms inbetween sessions as they will be sprayed with a 'mist' that kills the virus for 4 weeks. It's as if Donald Trump became our VC...
2. I had my own Occ Health this discussion about whether I was up to teaching face to face due to a couple of medical conditions. Fwiw, the OH guy is great and provides report that are helpful in union casework. Anyway, he mentioned the usual point that face masks only stop you transmitting to others. However there are medical grade masks that do provide protection to the wearer and recommended I wear one of those. Rather begs the question why supermarket worksers and others haven't been wearing these for months...

Yeah, I guess the house party thing might be a serious issue.

1) more expensive.
2) er...
to be fair many of the better ones have valves which are fine for protecting yourself, but potentially actively harmful for spread (they drip). They’re also less comfortable than cloth masks. Not tried surgical mask for comparison.

Yeah I think that might be true for some people, maybe of younger people, or just people who go to pubs in order to you know Mingle not to have a pint of Guinness and a fish and chips then go home again, which were never the worry anyway.
That's a joke though. Pissheads gonna pisshead whatever, but for most people that last hour is the one where you start forgetting what you're supposed to be doing and ordering tequila shots, rubbing against your work colleagues, etc. Add to that, most people can't really get out drinking much earlier, so it's an extra hour less time of an evening that they'll be in contact with people. From these things alone it'll have a dampening effect.
It isn't enough, and for a small minority of people it might encourage more risky behaviour, but it's population level behaviour they're looking at here.

Because its bollocks that's why. Not the mist being effective, I don't know about that its the idea it lasts 4 weeks. I imagine it does work in a Petri dish in a lab, no chance in a real world application.

Is this one of those everyone thinks they’re a better driver than average or are people basically say “yeah, no, it’s my fault, my bad, sorry” do you think?

Can’t see an earlier one of the same question.
Slightly encouraged to see that in another recent one they found that the percentage of people who think the government is handling track and trace ‘very well’ is 1%.
here we are - blame the government up 1% since last week. so no change really.

Still, it's a mixed picture - the british are the least satisfied with how the government is handling the crisis of all the countries they're tracking:
