And stick the residents in prison because, according to that pie chart, they'll be safer there.
Prisoners make up 0.136% of the population..
Prisons account for 1% of outbreaks.
Prisoners therefore have about seven times the risk compared to the population at large.

10pm closing will be like 2pm last orders on Sunday was before 1988, a mad rush to the bar to get a last one in and then everyone leaving together and crowding onto the same bus, all of which negates the social distancing that had taken place in the pub throughout the evening.
But that's Boris's finger-in-the-air thinking and whack-a-mole policy making.
With coronavirus under control from early July, when pubs reopened, to early September, when schools reopened, it's blatantly obvious that pubs aren't to blame but they make a convenient scapegoat.

Turns out its doors closed at 10 not last orders.

Yes, and closing over an hour earlier will probably mean most customers going to the pub over an hour earlier.

Perhaps, although some will be at work so wont be able to go earlier. Plenty are also finished before 10 anyway. Rule of 6 and pubs closing at 10 seems pretty tame to me. I wouldn't be surprised if the pubs are closed again within a few months. We need to take measure but also need to provide financial support where necessary

Weekends have always been the only time of the week some people use pubs and it was the ridiculously limited noon to 2pm opening denying everyone leisurely Sunday afternoons drinking that at 2pm last orders on Sunday before 1988 caused a mad rush to the bar of the busiest pubs to get a last one in and everyone then leaving together.
Are you accusing me of having a major drink problem and/or simply being a complete tool ?

An alternative view is that the staff got an evening off!

The Sentinel says :-

"A rural area of Stafford Borough had 14 new cases of coronavirus in a week - according to new figures

The latest rolling seven-day update shows 14 cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in the Gnosall and Haughton area between Friday September 11 and Thursday September 17.

This is by far the highest of any area of Staffordshire.

Two other areas of Stafford Borough also had three or more cases over the same period - along with eleven areas of Stoke-on-Trent, three areas of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Borough and two areas of the Staffordshire Moorlands.

The data - which updates each afternoon - divides the country into 'middle super output areas' (MSOA), which have similar populations of around 7,200 people.

Although other MSOAs in the area may have had cases only areas with three or more confirmed Covid-19 cases between those dates are highlighted."

If they had cases at one of the farms that could be the reason. They'll bloody lump me into that local lockdown.

I doubt it, but who knows. In some cases people think it matters even less in a village...

Why is proactive being such a malignant cnut?

I mean more than normal?

And why hasn't the Year 9 lockdown @ Eddies graced our pages?

Standards are slipping.
