Would just be nice to be told when they are going to announce it. I mean from the government themselves rather than whispers from reporters or local mps. These are peoples lives and the lack of info is staggering yet again although not surprising.

I wonder if London or any of the other major cities in the UK would have this lack of info if they were in lockdown. I would bet there would be exact times on announcements and would also have a bbc news special for it.

Fvck the government. It’s time people started taking matters into their own hands and just do what they want. After all that’s what Cummings did.

It's total incompetence.  I realise Soulsby has had fair criticism but I actually feel sorry for the bloke.  How can anyone be expected to function well with this flappy govt behind them?

This govt is beyond a joke. How do you bring a decision forward, miss your own deadline and then miss your own extended deadline. They have been messing with people’s lives for too long.

As I said on here weeks ago, just live your life as pretty much normal. Have beers with your mates round someones house etc. I got fed up with following the rules and guidelines to be locked up for another few weeks while certain people just didn't give a shit and were allowed to get away with it.

I actually had to look on this forum for the latest update, Twitter was full of comment and the news outlets weren't saying much.

 

Fancy getting my news from FoxesTalk!  

 

Coming up next on Sky News: Kermo was Decent....

Tbf to Neil O'Brien MP tweeting an 8pm announcement he didn't say what day 

What do you expect from a tory they are always vague enough that when they **** up they have an excuse. Never get a clear answer from any of them and when you think you do it's always a lie.

Complete and utter joke. 

 

The fact that not one representative of the Government have came out and provided any kind of update for the Leicester people, is abysmal. 

 

We are relying on hearsay and social media rumours to find out when our lives and business after 20 weeks of lockdown, can start getting back to normal. 

 

This would never happen if it was London.
