Which dictatorship?
I do not know whether government regulations telling us that we should or should not do in the present panic are effective or not. I
I do care when an apparatchik, such as Dr. Liz Robin, tells us, as reported in your paper, … we must all comply with government regulations”.
Medically trained she may be, but she has not been granted dictatorial powers, even benign ones. Expressing her opinion is one thing; dictating to us is another.
From the look of the streets there seems to be a lot of people who are disobeying her.
What does she propose to do about remedying this criminality?

“We have all worked hard to keep rates of the virus down in the county and so it is disappointing that infections are now rising quickly once again, but news of the variant can perhaps explain why this is happening. The impact this will have on so many of our residents saddens me, as well as the businesses that I know will once again have to close.
“Moving into Tier 4 will have an effect on people’s lives, but on its own it won’t drive down rates. We need people to do even more to break the chain of infection and stop Covid in its tracks.
