    So any guesses at which MPs and Celebrities who will be caught breaking the Tier Guidance?
    Most celebrities live in tier 4. Check their Instagram, Twitter etc

    There’s still going to be plenty of people that will ignore the guidance/law anyway and do as they please at Christmas. Already heard in local papers, on the radio and even people talking generally they won’t be adhering to it. 
    What's changed? There's a significant minority who haven't cared at all in the past months. No reason for them to change their behaviour just because it's Xmas day.

    Nothings changed. Just pointing out regardless of the tier there will be plenty who mix throughout Christmas because they think they are above everyone else and deserve the rules to be different for them.

    Looking at the number of Londoners with suitcases in the stations just before the restrictions took effect, there may not be enough left to mix.

    I hope  those who decide to ignore the restrictions will not be accepting NHS treatment if / when they catch the virus.

    The OP having exactly the same arrangements a day later as they would have had on Christmas Day isn’t putting anyone more at risk. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    They don't care - I feel sorry for the people that they infect though.

    The "North" hasn't recovered from the 2nd wave yet but is very likely to get battered by a 3rd wave very soon thanks to these idiots
