It's not rules if the are not enforced.
Lockdown is police/army checkpoints on streets.
Too many rules now, change too much - who can possibly remember what is ok in which area now? Clarity of message is important, especially when talking about things people don't like doing.
1.8 mln people bookng holidays abroad FFS, it's like nothing happened.

People will not follow the rules now; maybe they will if and when the situation really gets worse and there will be hundreds of daily deaths again.

The only alternative will be to block off roads and literally confine people within certain districts, with handheld IR thermometer temperature checks at checkpoints before anyone is allowed in or out. The snag is not everyone with the virus has an elevated temperature.

Well it depends upon if they follow "I'm a ******* moron" Hancock's advice:
Matt Hancock also confirmed that households in the areas of the north of England affected by the additional lockdown measure cannot visit each other at home – but they can visit households outside the affected areas as long as they observe social distancing.
He told BBC Breakfast: “Strictly, the law that we’re bringing in is that two households cannot meet in the area defined but obviously any two households should follow the social distancing rules.”

Manchester lockdown
My town is literally on the border so just out of the zone.
I’m concerned about the Mancunians coming over the border for their non socially distant means and pub visits super spreading in my town.
