So yes the grown ups will effect a second lockdown/circuit breaker now & further if required.
Politically it was a good move from Starmer as the evidence is clearly there and despite long posts on here and the #KBF crowd on social media objective polls show strong public support for a “circuit break” lockdown.

The problem is let’s say Johnson U-turns again and calls the circuit break (and I think he will)...what then? Unless they finally stop with the corruption on an enormous scale...and yes it is corruption...we’ll come out the other end in 2/3/4 weeks no better off and still without effective track and trace. The longer the current shambles goes on the worse it will be not just for aviation but just about every other sector.
