2 areas.

One was between London and Brighton.  The other was out Oxford way.

Liked the Chiltern Hills.

Cheers

Cheers. Yeah, from here where I live, we'd see that as the South.

Don't get me wrong, with the 32 boroughs of London, Brighton and Oxford only being placed in tier 2
-yet the little village of Bempton in the East Riding of Yorkshire being locked down in tier 3,
the political optics seem far different from the way the media have portrayed these separate communities.

It's the manner of categorising districts that I find difficult to appreciate. Villages that are separated by miles
ordered to hunker down and have a lousy Christmas, whilst extremely built-up areas that are common in cities
have a more relaxed ruling due to a trick that the Prime Minister offered to the nation.

Liverpool was deemed a city where the deadly plague was running rife and then a testing regime was put in
place a couple of weeks ago. The media made a big-thing of the Kung Flu being a shadow over the city and
heavily focused on it with massive dollops of fear-porn.

When the announcements came to decide that after the nationwide lock-down a tier-system would be activated,
Liverpool was said to have 'earned' their position in tier 2 due to that testing trial. This, even though the amount
of people who actually took part in the trial was low, showed that if you went long with the Government's requirements,
assured the punishments would be lesser than other areas of the country.

So what happens...? many councils of towns and cities that failed to reach that level asked for that testing system
because it seemed to be a way out of their situation! Problem + Solution = Reward.
Testing is now agreed as a low way of solving the Covid problem and yet, Governments (who have paid vast
fortunes out for the equipment) waved the testing system in front of the public as a magical key to their dilemma.

This isn't sour-grapes and I can understand how London, Oxford and the coastal wonderland of the LGBT community
can be deemed more important than some little village in the East Riding of Yorkshire. But I fear that the real potential
victims of this crippling virus are not being singled-out due to other factors that may not be politically correct.
