In my experience more people aren't following the rules this time. One of my wife's best friends is having a terrible time at the moment, she has a husband with dementia who has no/reduced daycare and somehow she's messed her direct payments up and expects my wife because she's high in Adult Social Care to go into her house and sort it out! My wife is well torn between following the law and protecting me and also helping out a longstanding friend who has always been there for her.

Her and her mate can book a covid test online (no proof required that they have symptoms before turning up for the test) and if both negative form a support bubble. Can't spread covid if they don't have it.

My gran is in a support bubble with my parents despite living hundreds of miles apart, so she can go visit several times a year. Them's the rules.

But we already have another support bubble, you can only have one AFAIK.

It isn't against the law to provide unpaid care for someone else.

Guidance for those who provide unpaid care to friends or family - GOV.UK

It isn't care, she already has care hence the direct payments, basically there is a support service for it, but thinks my wife can short cut it, which she can't.

You said in an initial post your wife could help but now you are saying she can't as it is to try and queue jump.

It was of its time (1986) and actually was part of a movement that changed South Africa mostly for the better.

I went in 2008 and it was a whole lot better than I expected. But seeing the armoured and armed personnel carriers in the apartheid museum was chilling.

My south African friend tells stories that are scary.
