Second lockdown but very busy on roads.

Not sure this lockdown will be effective. People are being complacent and not taking seriously. I remember looking at TFL webcams first time round and roads were empty. Today they are surprisingly busy. What is everyone doing that is so essential?

Many have become sceptical of the charts and lockdown in general without protesting with Corbyn in central london

My partner said Acton traffic (dare I say) was fairly light yesterday morning.

More people working than the last lockdown. Eg Construction work is continuing.

You win the Shoehorn Award for getting Corbyn the Bogeyman into a post.

Plus delivering children to school and picking them up. Schools were shuttered last time.

Yep, it's a total joke. Hammersmith and Chiswick anyway. Ton's of people out and about. Most shops are secretly open. You just have to knock on the door and they let you in and then lock the door. Loads of teens sitting about everywhere. I get the feeling that this second lockdown that no one is following it or really cares.

Which shops are "secretly open" Chris?

Peter Mielewczyk ● 2184d

From the top of my head, Adventures in furniture, the sunglasses shop (designer), CEX in Hammersmith. I don't know .A couple of the clothes shops on Chiswick High road. You can tell as the shop workers are inside and I keep seeing them opening the doors for those waiting outside. It's quite a few. But honestly I don't blame them.

Yes, groups of lads in the local park, and tape the council had put over the exercise machines pulled off and macho men doing their stuff to ghetto blasters...however I am feeling pretty good today looking at the news from the US. I know Biden has had a charisma bypass but nothing could be worse than that cruel, arrogant, dangerous bully.

I don't think there is much they can do with the kids as they are all coming out of schools and then hanging about. Kids are kids and will always hang about. Just saw this from last night Central London. Seems pretty crazy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDOGbOG_72E&ab_channel=RTUK

It's lucky that infections were already falling before 'lockdown' started then, isn't it?

What do you base that comment in Susan?

I meant ‘on’ not ‘in’
