Easing up has belly-flopped

HAVING been locked down as tight as a maiden aunt’s corset, getting back to “normal” was bound to throw up surprises.

But how have we managed to get to a place where, in England in six days’ time, we’ll be able to go to the pub after a game of bingo, but not visit the gym?

We will be able get our hair cut, but not get a manicure. And our children can go to the cinema, but not to school – unless they are in certain age groups.

We will also be allowed to play tennis, but not cricket.

In fairness, the Government was never going to get it 100% right and has still faced criticism for going too far in unlocking.
