Normally yes, but if Branson was still in charge it would be £10 for me and £50-odd for him.

Probably but making a last minute change - one that many will ignore - will do little to help the situation

I think one of the logical conclusions - and one of the reasons - of christmas day only mixing is that if you can't get there and back on christmas day, you can't go.

I didn't spot any 'alas', but yeah. As ever, I'm right.
I dont remember you being right about there being zero chance of them reducing any areas tier level before Christmas
Meanwhile Whittys attempt to justify why other regions, which do have some of this new strain in circulation, dont need the strongest new tier 4 to deal with this new strain at the moment, was a load of shit that is typical of the minimal, late, shit, approach seen in this pandemic so far. There are huge holes in his explanation and the logic involved invites this new strain to end up dominating in those regions in future.

I have a question. This new variant. Is it UK specific? And, if it is, why?

Unless you can afford a car. It's going to disproportionately affect the poor, many of whom will have already booked coaches, trains etc.

Well, as you're in London, even if you had a car you couldn't go to where I assume your plans were.

They must be shitting it.
It should be shutdown for everyone. This new strain - which is already being used as the sole reason for the latest U-turn - is going to charge around the country

If you are going to do this, you've got to do it quickly or everyone will just rush to travel before the restrictions come in. I'd imagine motorway traffic out of London is going to spike this evening.

You're absolutely right, and of course both coronavirus itself and the measures brought in to deal with it have disproportionately affected the poor, right from day one.
Given where we are now, I think it's right that people shouldn't travel significant distances to visit people over Xmas, by whatever means, but the reason we've arrived at this situation now is because of the government's consistent tendency to do too little, too late, and then have to do more, at the last minute, when the situation gets even worse.

Cheers bimble . I'm not watching. I just can't watch Johnson and co these days so I rely on people here. Who are a lot quicker updating me than BBC or the Guardian I might add.
