Football isn't important. How many times was it mentioned. Joke

Gatherings of more than 6 people from different households not allowed....but 22 football players from different households can gather together for 90 mins plus ....am I hearing this wrong !!!

[ianglenn]

Why doesn’t Dominic Cummings chair the briefings himself instead of leaving it to his minions? After all he is in charge of this circus.

[lionpride]

The infection rate in the UK is still in the thousands and judging by the gatherings at beaches and beauty spots they have no concept of social distancing and mask wearing.

That makes no sense.
Government: "We are past the peak"

If sports come back, you might as well open all the religious buildings too. Just shows what people deem important or not
