I think that gives them too much credit.
They don’t know what to do. They want to stop the virus but can’t absolutely fuck business, or hospitality, or retail. They are stuck between two choices and there’ll be people arguing for both, and this is the best compromise they can come up with. The messaging is probably so shit as they can’t get a decent focus group out of it because opinion is so split. Just need to read the last page here to see why, a ton of you saying you won’t follow the rules (which is not the view I’ve heard at work or on group chats I’m in). You have to remember as well that the devolved governments are following the same strategies. It might seem silly but from looking at data they must have come to compromise that the best way to do both (a) slow down virus spread (b) not bankrupt pubs, is a 10pm close.
Look at the nick of Johnson. That is not the face of man behind a Machiavellian scheme.
It’s made way worse by the truthers, the Qanon stuff, the pedo tunnels, the freedom protests, and all that Online disinformation. In finding that all really disturbing, a few random folk - seemingly sensible - I follow on insta, posting Fucking “this is the truth” mix of pizzagate, tunnels and how covid is a lie. It’s so weird but it’s obviously a way for people to process the madness of a global pandemic and economic disaster. It’s really insidious and seeing it creep in all over, in little ways. I am Sure that’s having the desired effect of putting little doubts in a lot of people’s minds.

It’s just one of those empty jingoistic phrases that he uses. Very “British values” imo.

Daughter just back from uni for a driving lesson and says there are no controls (self or otherwise) over going in and out of other flats/blocks.
Just a matter of time before the university halls are all locked down.
