Y TF is every1 banging on abt getting THE FAMILY TOGETHER over Christmas? Hv ppl forgotten this ends up in a food fight, several of the family getting stupendously hammered, a major argument concluding in some1 getting arrested & another in A&E vowing never 2do the same next yr

Do you know ANYONE surveyed? These polls do not match the people i meet.

Bollocks.... obviously only asked 3 left wing rag office staff for that dodgy outcome!

You're lying bast*rds....Pure & simple...

...and Jeremy Clarkson played the drums in Abba!

About 48% of the UK public are thick as pig shit.

It's a great excuse to avoid the in-laws

Sorry but that's clearly untrue. Is there anyone who seriously believes that if we have Lockdown over Christmas that we won't have a Lockdown in January as well?

Best-ever bullshit from the scum Guardian.

How can you compare the U.K. public the guardian & Twitter 😂🤷‍♀️

What are you gonna do about father Christmas, seran wrap the chimneys?

It's like choosing between a turd and a polished turd.

...Or how about you just ignore the nonsensical rules coming from Downing Street, and just carry on as normal.

The talk about ‘The Public’ like they asked everyone. Nonsense poll.

Probably one of those'accurate' you gov polls😂😂😂😂

Yes, because people are going to do what they want regardless.

So a Guardian journalist did a survey among her bitter childless 40 something colleagues? Gotcha👍🏼

Christmas is a perfect season for a lockdown. Don’t understand fuss about it being busy and us moving everywhere then. Wrong.

I beg to differ 😂

We don’t have to have either...

TeaJunkie1 Oh good. I mean Christmas is like a lockdown anyway

liars

All the new year resolutions to join a gym and to get fit will be broken before 1 January!

Neither would work for me

Nonsense, we don’t believe you. Lockdown is forever with this current government.

Your piss poor attempts to manufacture public opinion are embarassing.

Bullsh*t.

Not sure this actually needs to be a choice. Govt propaganda has been as successful as any totalitarian regime of the past in this divide and rule, with fear as the stick.

I doubt this is true

I‘m not in lockdown.

Bullshit

Another load of rubbish! Prefered is going back to with family no lockdown ever again!

So what exactly was the leading question you asked the public this time?

All this for a virus 25% to 50% are already immune, with 99.5% recovery rate, No asymptomatic spread... and we know how to treat it now....

FakeNews

Who did you ask about this? Why are your reporting the real facts on why we don’t need to be in lockdown at all?

More bollocks from the Guardian

When your rag dies, I will gladly clap on the doorstep

...because everyone's quietly planning to break the rules anyway...

Firing squad preferred by UK public over hanging... How lovely if they were to give us a choice.

January is a horrid month. Would prefer a quiet xmas instead .

Fake news hack clowns

Another Faux survey pulled out of a magic hat. Not 1 person I know has ever said this

I would rather “non essential businesses”- shops, hairdressers, etc - reopened for good on 2nd December. I also want compulsory muzzling ended. If Christmas is a permanent casualty of this panic, I won’t mourn it.

Fact Check. The media doesn’t know the people.

Classic case of a false dichotomy (and I’m not even a doctor!) StopTheMadness

Neither is an option to you know

What public, nope not having it. Boris and Mengele can piss off

The world has now officially lost the plot. Complete and utter insanity. I just don’t even know what to say anymore.

Lies

Bullshit.

Utter bullshit Guardian!! The British Public would like this Government to stop mass testing with a test unfit for purpose and stand up and tell the truth, if it wants to keep any respect then tell the bloody truth and stop this utter madness! Lies Lies Lies!

You forgot the third option. Neither!

Wonder what the question was....

lol

Restrictions will continue until Spring. IT's FUCKING SEASONAL

Yeah... sure. Lies. Lies. Lies. Who writes this rubbish?

Bollocks it is. Neither is preferred.

Who are these utterly joyless Scrooges? January is a terrible month anyway, and like hell will I be locked down for Christmas. I'm having a normal Christmas and the government can stuff themselves in a turkey. They will not dictate family matters.

Or we could just get on with life.

Why have you asked every single person in the UK? Or did you just ask a large group of lefties because from what I see on the streets and social media most dont want to lockdown christmas.

I call bullshit from Guardian, did they survey there woke writers. There is no need to block Christmas and no need to lockdown. Sooner the press start calling out this sham the better.

Says the Guardian! 😂😂

Nah 2nd lockdown was proven to be unnecessary. End of my tether now. We're all aware this is no longer about a virus. Fuck globalists, fuck big tech. Let's support our SME's and fuck the big chains.

We only hear of you as you can't sell your original product.

Why A total of 37,470 people in *England* have died with a Covid+ test 96% had a pre-existing health condition 54% were over 80yrs old. 92% were over 60 The total number of people under 60 with no underlying health problems who died with Covid this year: 339 UKCovid19Stats

Well, freewill is our god given right so get bent! 🙂 is my thoughts. The science is clear lockdowns do not work. It's once again a case of humans thinking they can control natural events and as per making them far worse causing needless deaths and ruining lives. Well done. xx

Because the public have been scared shitless!

peterjukes What do you reckon the bloke in the red suit would recommend (just quietly, ‘if he existed’), or his wife Mary. You know, Mary Christmas? Serious question, excuse the glibness.

peterjukes If you do spend Christmas with your family, make sure to say goodby when you leave. You may not get another chance.

Lets all get absolutely annihilated this christmas. We deserve it ya'll.

So agree with this.

You using the same polling companies as the US election?

I'm guessing they used the same polls as in the U.S Election huh?

More people are supporting Tory. What do they think of billions of tax money on weapons? Poor starving kids? COVID getting out of hand? School outbreaks? Serco / corruption? No deal Brexit and Kent becoming toilets? There are many more..

Course they do ! Nobody asked me .

Just do what we want. We ARE this country! The fines are illegal and until they import a few more illegals under the cover of Covid lockdowns....i will do as i please. Fk Boris, Matt Limpcock and the SAGE bullshitters. Merry Covidness!!! Ho fkin Ho

BREAKKNG: Faced with a £10k fine and probably a police beating and confinement for another month, Britons vote to miss Christmas

Good at least some common sense prevail better than Clown Boris trying to please public with 5 days Xmas relaxation which is death sentences in essence. Follow the science, not Boris bursting bs.

And we know polls always tell the truth!

I don't believe that..

There is no point in having a lockdown unless it is properly policed. Unfortunately common sense goes out of the window when people want to get drunk and have arguments with their family/fiends !! No-one seems to be asking to attend church !!

I spend every xmas in lockdown, best way to avoid any ppl! 😎

Bollocks to the lockdown enjoy Xmas with your family and just get on with your lives , stop living in fear ffs

Predictions: millions will visit family/friends during Xmas, regardless of any restrictions. Majority of that time indoors will mean transmission goes down, restrictions lifted. Then in Jan, many will flock to the sales, cases increase then another lockdown until end March

Bullshit. Here’s the real Covid numbers

Brits will ignore the festive lockdown, and will pay the price for it in January/February 2021.

No, not “New Restrictions In January” BUT “New Restrictions From January”. Restrictions will help FLATTEN the Death-Curve.

I think it’s ridiculous and illogical to even suggest one over the other. It shows what an utter farce this really is. Let’s just a scept thieve isn’t a bloody virus, we all know it and get on with thing s.

We’re already talking about lockdown restrictions in January 2021... when is this covid19 and its restriction modes will turn themselves off! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Perhaps by the 100 people you interviewed in Oxford, try asking the hate filled loons who think Brexit means all the brown people have to leave 🤪🇬🇧

Yep.

Soon

Erm no. We'll be doing as we please.

EmmaForni1

I call bullshit

Translation: UK public will ignore lockdown over Christmas.

Psychopathic

Happy Xmas from the Tories...
