The 10pm curfew might not be working quite as the government intended – 7 favourite responses

As you’ll know by now, the government has imposed a 10pm curfew for pubs and restaurants and such like as part of its latest strategy to help tackle the coronavirus.

Except this video shared by @kirstylewis6 over on Twitter suggests it may not be working entirely in the way they intended.

The clip of London’s Oxford Circus just after 10pm went wildly viral because, well, have a watch of it for yourself.

Saves the corona the bother of going out during the day, it can just wait ’til 10pm.

The plan to ensure that everyone leaves the pub at exactly the same time appears to have a downside https://t.co/0fz9210ipM

Government’s going to kick themselves when they remember people use transport to get from places they are to places they want to be https://t.co/rtDbTHzZNv

To conclude …

Surprised that Cummings and his crack team of weirdo super forecasters didn't see this one coming https://t.co/DWwtAjYNeZ

I’m sure that at this very moment he’s rewriting his blog to make it look as if he did
