They are already closing - no one gives a sh*t about his stupid “look at me” press conferences
Schools are being closed by local councils, governors, parents and head teachers, nothing to do with the government.
It’s the real world out there, something he doesn’t know much about

Silly old bat
Scotland is going into full lockdown so we will probably follow.
As Lord Heseltine says, Johnson waits to see 'the way the crowd is running then dashes in front'

Everyone has to wear a diving bell for their 1 trip to the essential shops and 1 hour exercise a day and when at home everyone must stay in their own 1 room and not leave it

A bit of an advance leak - Matt Hancock says he’s “very worried” about the South African strain, which means.....
1. Somebody else is to blame (certainly not this government)
2. All airports will continue to operate as they have throughout without any restrictions or obstacles to inward transmission from other countries......like South Africa!

But direct flights from SA were stopped the same day, plus isolation to visitors and close contacts if they had been there within 10 days. Cant do much more than that tbf
not true. My kids school in east Sussex is open today
South Africa is banned - minus cargo

This government rarely misses a chance to liberally sprinkle any unwanted message with xenophobia and nationalism, so i'm sure we'll be hearing more about a South African strain then the "Kent strain"

Not quite true. Direct flights are banned. You can come via other countries if you self isolate en route for 10 days. And can find a route

...and still they let flights in from South Africa with little or no checks
Social media is full of stories
Not that I am a Jeremy Hunt fan at all, but he is the only one of this bunch of useless charlatans who talks sense.

Easier said than done atm!
But flying indirect via Qatar or similar and into the UK means you can get around it and get in scot free.
People who were arriving from South Africa were also pretty much being waived through recently, just reminded to ensure they quarantine.
There was a thread on Twitter of a UK resident who works in South Korea and travelled back over New Year... now that is a country taking immigration and COVID seriously.
