I understand your situation, it doesn't seem fair. From my point of view i know of a few people who have had groups in their house and in the garden during the warmer months, to even that up, i know even more people who haven't. I suppose the government believes that it has a chance with businesses that aren't going to follow the rules, it has zero chance when dealing with plebs, it sadly means that the large majority of sensible caring people are penalised because of ****wits who possess zero respect for others.Quote:

She'd have to go to the pub is she wanted to socialise at all, because they've got bar staff there.Quote:

A terrible situation. Drakeford can't form policy based on a minority of arseholes though. Could you imagine him saying 'Do what you like, because some people are quite likely to **** things up for others' This board would go into meltdown, enough people hate him already based on little in my opinion.Quote:

Not judging that they broke the rules, don’t know if they did or didn’t but like the people household mixing getting ill in the valleys, surely they will start to get the message at some point, usually like all things, when the shit hits the fan.
Amazed at this, but it’s so young people can socialise for their mental well being isn’t it?Quote:

What the hell is wrong with some people, this is what we are battling against, a teacher ffs!

He has to be seen to be doing something, and to be fair to him he could have done a lot more draconian things and has resisted the pressure to do them.Quote:
