Why shut pubs at 10pm

[Deeranged]

Because Boris says so.

Because Boris says so.

Nippy is now saying the same.
Nippy is probably too young to remember how busy it was when the pubs emptied at 10.10pm after the ten minute swill ended.
It is likely that the streets in places like the centre of Broughty Ferry will be busy on a Friday and Saturday evening after 10pm when all the pubs and restaurants are forced to shut.
In my opinion there is more chance of the virus spreading then than if the pubs and restaurants were left to close at their normal time.

I reckon it'll make zero difference closing at ten, eleven, midnight or whenever. People accumulate in take-aways and at taxi ranks etc regardless of closing time. More futile, knee jerk nonsense from all the incompetents concerned.

I do not understand why the politicians accept as gospel what the scientists in the UK say about how to deal with this virus.
Initially it was reported that there would be 500,000 deaths from coronavirus in the UK then they changed their tune and it was from memory I think going to be 5,000 deaths.
In my opinion these scientists and health ‘experts’ do not have a clue how to deal with the current Covid-19 virus which will continue for years until eventually it dies out and is replaced by another virus.
People throughout the UK are slowly getting fed up with all these decisions by politicians and eventually they will decide that they have had enough and rebel.
What will Nippy and Boris do then. Either declare Marshall Law or for once listen to the UK people.
