Social gatherings of more than six people will be illegal in England from Monday - with some exemptions - amid a steep rise in coronavirus cases.
A new legal limit will ban larger groups meeting anywhere socially indoors or outdoors, No 10 said.
But it will not apply to schools, workplaces or Covid-secure weddings, funerals and organised team sports.
It will be enforced through a £100 fine if people fail to comply with police, doubling up to a maximum of £3,200.
Several exemptions apply to the new rules - which come into force on 14 September - with households and support bubbles bigger than six people are unaffected.
A full list of exemptions will be published by the government later. | |

£500m spent on the campaign to get people into restaurants, cafes and pubs again. Money wasted. | | | |

This will likely carry on until the other side of winter now then. Not sure how sports venues and clubs, the hospitality industry, hotels and the like are going to survive now. Bleak winter ahead with ever increasing numbers of job losses.
It feels like the country is on a bit of an edge at the moment, going to be some big trouble in the cities. | |

Does this effectively close the pubs again? | |

I dont think so, you just cant have more than 6 at a table | |

You would think so. No point in opening for just 6 people at a time.
I thought the way forward was going to enforce lockdowns where the virus was springing up again.
Don’t get this at all. | | | |

Hopefully so, but it talks about no more then 6 inside a house or even in a garden, so hopefully this can be clarified. | |

Back in the summer the rules were pretty much limited to 4 then 6 whether in a pub or at someones house | |

The problem is young people having huge house parties and gathering in large groups in parks etc. Having a socially distanced meal with people you live with is fine, but you won't be able to mix with other households.
The nightlife and pubs also needs sorting as I'm sure it will, just as we discussed earlier in another forum. Boris is addressing the nation tomorrow. [Post edited 8 Sep 2020 23:13]

So you can have numerous tables of 6 in a pub or restaurant but only 6 in your house regardless of how many rooms you have.
If things are so bad how can they let football matches continue? 22 blokes running around breathing heavily grabbing and shoving each other, and near on back to normal goal celebrations, all without the benefit if a mask ðŸ§. You can say that they have their own group bubbles, but after a game they will be mixing with friends an relatives like the rest of us. The whole thing us a farce. | | | |

No one complied when it was 6 people, the government has thrown hundreds of millions of pounds at systems and kit that doesn't work, doesn't fit or doesn't exist . They have turned down the chance of working with other European countries in sourcing equipment which due to economies of scale would have saved us millions. Our so called world class testing regime is rubbish. But guess what, the friends and extended families of these ministers ordering it have done alright haven't they?
As for localised spikes, there are a hell of a lot of them, it's national. | | | |

So on Sunday kid’s football at Millbrook Rec there were hundreds of kids and adults
No social distancing all stood close on touch lines.
At Harley Davison’s garage there were about 200 bike riders all gathered
No social distance.
I get it’s outside but the 1 metre plus is forgotten who is going to stop them? | |

Furlough schemes for Germany and France are 24 months
For Australia and Ireland 12 months
For us 8 months
We had a worse first wave than all of those. Schools are getting locked down again within a week of going back. The teachers (and their unions) who btw have been teaching and working through this were right. The crank media and the government weren't. Neither was the leader of the opposition Starmer who went along with Johnson.
All they care about is their massive profits and commercial property portfolios.
You are nothing to them. | | | |

How long do we have to be led by such incompetent fools?

And 5 years after that because thankfully freaks like you are in the minority and we'll never have the socialist snowflake government you crave. | |

When are we going to learn to accept risk and stop destroying our country and our children's future? Thomas Jefferson once said "I prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery" Wish we had leaders of that calibre now.
Are ,we happy to suck the joy out of living, so we can live a few months longer at the end of our lives? | |

You need to do a bit more of a fact check regarding furlough in Germany, France and Ireland.
If a business still needs a furlough scheme after 8 months then the business is doomed and is just going to become a taxpayer liability.
Do you honestly think that schools should remain closed and everyone should remain on furlough?
Do you think that is viable... if so, how and why? | |

Mental isn't it. People think money grows on trees. The government have done all they can, it's up to everyone to roll their sleeves up and get on with things.
The issues with regards to the hotspots of Covid are clear to see. The government need to educate the younguns to behave themselves, shut down pubs and bars without social distancing in place, educate South Asian communities etc and then the virus would drop back down. [Post edited 9 Sep 2020 9:40]
