I understand that the Sontaran High Command in Hounslow House are in communication with their cloaked mothership hiding behind the Moon to see if they can set up an invisible force field all round the boundaries of LB Hounslow. If Vanessa sees people bouncing back from the middle of her footbridge and falling into the River Crane, Susan finds that she is unable to reach her postbox, and the Bees find that most of their fans are unable to reach Wembley on Saturday, we will know that they have succeeded. Hopefully most of the Brentford squad live outside the borough, so they will still be able to give the Swans a drubbing. However, any disruption to the tube or train services through the borough can be assumed to be normal, and not a sign of a new lockdown, whoever is imposing it.
