Re: Another U turn.
Well Keith, i would much sooner listen to the health professionals that i listened to last night on TV, than a bunch of critics trying to get political gain. Its a stupid man who continues on a path that is not working, and does not listen to experts, we all have had to change our minds and tactics when at sea and trying to solve a problem, i have experienced it many times loading heavy cargo. But thats just my opinion, kt

Wales' firebreak will end on 9 November- and the date will not change as a result of the prime minister's announcement on Saturday night.

Re: Another U turn.
If you take a car into a garage with a fault, the fault is easily traceable and fixed.
With a virus there are so many variables to take into account all the experts can do is predict an outcome.
Professor Ian Ferguson way back in March predicted 500,000 deaths it didn't happen.
Boris is trying to juggle the economy and the nations health, he tried to keep everything open and as normal as possible. Under mounting evidence of a looming crisis, with a predicted shortage of NHS beds if the rate of infection continued at its present rate, he was faced with a choice, do nothing, or change tack. He took the sensible option he changed tack, but some see this as
weekness or indecision on his part, and take great joy in belittling his choices.
It takes a brave man to change direction when all around are clamouring for things to stay as they are.
