Boris Johnson faces anger over England’s new Tier system - BBC News

The Prime Minister has defended England's new coronavirus restrictions that begin when lockdown ends on 2nd December.

Many Conservative MPs reacted angrily when it was revealed that almost the entire country would be placed into the two highest tiers - with many areas that have low infection rates facing tougher controls than before.

They're calling for a more locally targeted approach. Boris Johnson said he realised it was "frustrating" but insisted that the restrictions were necessary to curb the disease.

Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by deputy political editor Vicki Young in Kent, which has been placed in the strictest tier.

People don't care!!! This is what happens when you don't. Business suffer and a lot of us losing jobs!!! What the f**k.

Lots of rural areas with almost no cases stuck in higher tiers, they need to be held accountable

Of course he's going to face anger, the Tier system might as well be Lockdown for many people in England, so you can hardly blame those who are not on his side

They were seeing if you, the people, put up with the 'arbitrary, ' no matter how unreasonable it was.
It was compliance testing, now they're just conditioning you more and more. At some point you're mean't to be greatful that *they let you* have 5 days for a holiday.

No need for anger - businesses just need to open.
