    Can someone wise explain to me how it’s possible to know that the spread is due to people’s “disobedience”, rather than the government’s (some would say) hasty relaxation measures?

    3/4 The spread is largely due to households meeting and not abiding to social distancing. So from midnight tonight, people from different households will not be allowed to meet each other indoors in these areas.

    I spent a short while this morning reporting hateful replies to my tweet about the 48 hour boycott including a surprising amount of ACTUAL NAZI content. Anyway, it's good/terrible to be back.

    It's rainy, it's Saturday - if you want a comedy about a weird girl from Wolverhampton in 1993 who goes to Big London and falls in love with Alfie Allen singing a song by Guy Garvey, with cameos from Emma Thompson, Michael Sheen and Sharon Horgan, then this is the movie for you.

    At least ten tweets in this profoundly antisemitic tirade have been deleted by Twitter for breaking their rules. (This one is clearly one of the ones they are happy with.) At what point do you ban someone, ?
