Greater Manchester mayor says rule ‘creates an incentive for people to gather in the streets or at home’

Good morning. Boris Johnson only announced the rule forcing pubs in England to close at 10pm six days ago, and it only came into force on Thursday, but already he is under pressure to abandon it. This morning on the Today programme Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, said he thought it was counter-productive. He explained: There needs to be an urgent review of the emerging evidence from police forces across the country. My gut feeling is that this curfew is doing more harm than good .

Just close the pubs

Wake up people. If MP’s don’t social distance, don’t wear masks, have bars open past 10 and do what they want. They obviously don’t believe the rules save lives do they? Stop letting them control us with nothing more than this false test!
