It's weird how certain people believe that freedom of speech means we all have to listen them.

Indeed. The right to speak ≠ right to be listened to.

and the same people seem to think we are unable to criticise them as calling out their lies and nonsense attacks their freedom of speech

NEW: No 10 spokesman says PM told Cabinet that there are ‘early signs’ that ‘Omicron is more transmissible than Delta’.

Spokesman: ‘We are able to move relatively swiftly’ with more restrictions (i.e. Plan B) if needed.

Wasn't plan B to reintroduce face masks? Haven't they already done plan B?

Asked how he has established that no rules were broken by holding a party for 50 people inside Downing Street during lockdown with drinks and a Secret Santa, Boris Johnson tells Sky News that "I have satisfied myself that the guidelines were followed at all times." https://t.co/noEshWRDUE

Thanks, but that doesn't answer my questions about what plan B is. In October, their plan B was:

'Plan B could include legally mandating face coverings in some settings, introducing mandatory vaccine-only Covid-status certification and asking people to work from home.'

As they have already started introducing these things and they are still talking about it not needing to be implemented; what is plan B now?

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-autumn-and-winter-plan-2021/covid-19-response-autumn-and-winter-plan-2021

"Plan B
If the data suggests the NHS is likely to come under unsustainable pressure, the Government has prepared a Plan B for England. The Government hopes not to have to implement Plan B, but given the uncertainty, it is setting out details now so that the public and businesses know what to expect if further measures become necessary.

Given the high levels of protection in the adult population against COVID-19 by vaccination, relatively small changes in policy and behaviour could have a big impact on reducing (or increasing) transmission, bending the epidemic curve and relieving pressure on the NHS. Thanks to the success of the vaccination programme, it should be possible to handle a further resurgence with less damaging measures than the lockdowns and economic and social restrictions deployed in the past. The Government would provide prior notice as far as possible to the public and Parliament ahead of implementing any necessary changes in a Plan B scenario.

The Government’s Plan B prioritises measures which can help control transmission of the virus while seeking to minimise economic and social impacts. This includes:

a. Communicating clearly and urgently to the public that the level of risk has increased, and with it the need to behave more cautiously.
b. Introducing mandatory vaccine-only COVID-status certification in certain settings.
c. Legally mandating face coverings in certain settings.
The Government would also consider asking people once again to work from home if they can, for a limited period. The Government recognises this causes more disruption and has greater immediate costs to the economy and some businesses than the other Plan B interventions, so a final decision would be made based on the data at the time."

The government keep saying they are not looking at introducing plan B restrictions though, when they have already started.

He found another way to irritate me the other day. I had to drive the in laws somewhere. He sat in the back and decided to run his own sat nav on his phone, even though my car has one. He then kept telling me if his was different and recommending I followed his.

What a beautiful analogy for the replacement of Norway’s relationship with the UK via its EEA agreement with Liz Truss’s CHEESE!!!-based post-Brexit free trade deal

You know that Downing Street Xmas party that the government party denies ever happened, well @itvnews has exclusive footage of a mock Downing St press conference four days after in which head of broadcast Ed Oldfield and @AllegraCOP26 joke about it. https://t.co/PfWLmZeXQW

Why's it only being shared now if it was a year old?

Easier for the cops to avoid any investigations?
"Why do people want us to investigate something that's already happened?"

Not beyond the realms of possibilities there were a few journalists either invited to the party, or actually there.
