As someone who received a shielding letter just a couple of weeks ago, I was interested to read last night that restrictions for shielders were being lifted and I could go out with someone from my household as of Monday. I thought I must have missed the announcement in the briefing but this morning found out the announcement was made at 10pm last night. What on earth is that all about. I have absolutely no faith in this government or their motives.

They are simply trying to save the economy at the expense of peoples lives so nothing new

Lots of people on the radio this morning saying exactly the same thing.
There seems to have been zero consultation, no informal discussions and no media coverage of the upcoming announcement.
Itās causing a lot of anxiety for people who were told to shield for 10 weeks - under fear of likely death if they contracted the virus.
Now, with 300+ deaths yesterday and with 8000 cases (still) a day they are told with 24 hours notice they can break their self exclusion.
Many are deeply worried and are, perhaps correctly, asking what has changed.

All the more so if this article is even semi-accurate:
I would just like to point out it wasnāt a tragedy, it was Nemesis/Darwinās Award territory.
Anyone who climbs the arch at Durdle Door and jumps off deserves all they get, and it was 3 of them that injured themselves. Morons.
Apparently the crowds on the beach were clapping and encouraging them to jump as well. I give up with my fellow humans.

At least it will take 3 of the Instageneration out of circulation for a while.
Perhaps they can try to swim underwater to America next time.

Probably a Labour activist.
What I ālikedā about the article is that it didnāt appear to be sensationalised - simply chaotic under-preparedness. Unfortunately, that doesnāt change the fact that itās an essential service that should have been in place since March.
Fingers crossed.

Theyāre just winging this. From what I can gather from friends the majority of the UK donāt trust or understand the Government current policy. Maybe itās just my age group.
Iāve lost track of what weāre meant to be doing and I think the govt has as well. Itās like theyāve given up. All I set on TV and social media are beaches and parks rammed full of people. Itās like a collective resignation led by inept politicians.
If Iām being honest itās beginning to depress me. I donāt mind lockdown. In fact I quite like it but I donāt want it to go on forever and each day 300 people die. Iād like it to start to improve but thatās not going to happen the way weāre going.

Think of it this way - there wonāt be any bed blockers when you need to go to the care home
Your pension annuity will shoot up
And you will get a Labour govt next time around because most of the Tory voters will have died
Oh, and if you are a remainer - a second referendum is a shoe in
Even as an arch remained, the systematic euthanasia of a load of Brexit voting old folks, is a tad too far imhoā¦
Again, this is another very good point well madeā¦
Got a mate you donāt like. Scam him and make him isolate for 14 days - make sure you sound āprofessional and trainedā.
