Don't Save The Date...

4 weeks allows time to gather more data and also will move the window of who has been fully vaccinated, since Delta really seems to require this to be effective.
At this point, most of us can do most of the things we want, albeit with some faff. 4 more weeks after so long, seems worth it.

Although, since cases are rising even before Phase 4, delaying 4 weeks is not going to quash a 3rd wave. If there are problems, we can expect things to get stricter again.

They are just delaying the inevitable lockdown until after England crashes out.

You've heard it on here first...

Well of course that's generally what they do. Wait a day or a week or tweak the wording so they can make a point about how they're independent, then do what we do

What of all the times England delayed and then copied Scotland?

The truth is that Scotland is quite a different country to England and has different demographics, which can be easily seen by looking at the Highlands and Islands council boundary and population density there. 11 morons turned up to protest outside the Scottish Government building last week.

Have a look outside number 10 Downing Street now. The BBC reported there being hundreds of folk protesting. The one thing that all countries in the world have in common now is that the number of idiots who can't even grasp basic science is on the rise.

Looking at you 'reddog' and the rest.

It's not on the rise, we just have higher expectations. Our view of how well people should be educated has risen faster than the education
People have always been grossly uneducated about science, but most of the time you never realise as it doesn't come up unless you're chatting with strangers in the pub, how regular folk think. Covid means they are more vocal.
