We were following the science and that says 2 metres is the safest option, however as we cannot get parents to work, stuff safety, make it 1 metre and stuff the consequences. It won't affect Johnsons kid, private education can afford to be digitally connected and distanced

Another policy dropped because they cannot make it work. They've been under pressure for weeks on this and the eventually fold, just like they did with foreign NHS workers surcharge.

It’s not a rule, it’s a risk assessment said Patrick Vallance on tv. AntisocialDistancing

Now the real reason the UK is so sick is clearly because Boris Johnson doesn’t know what he is doing and needs to be removed from office.

Science gone awol. Don’t follow the politicians. They are lying to you.

Politics first people second. That’s boris and cummings

If you can't make safe fit one's agenda, simply redefine what safe means! That's the BorisHasFailedBritain way!

It's not science saying that, it's his project to get parents back to work asap for the sake of the economy, not public health.

It would be good if he waited and got his changes in place and working properly before moving onto next. Ie test, track, trace. This should be working Before any more easing of lockdown

so . . .'follow the science' means 'follow the money' nothing to do with teaching & learning or a child's well being? Glorified child minding to get the plebs back to the production line?

After schools have spent thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours marking buildings

And why was it 2mtrs, cuz it was never science backed 🤔🤔

Brazil reported over 30,000 new coronavirus cases in a 24-hour period since the outbreak began. COVID__19

Has he not yet scrapped the metric system?

This will double the risk...

This seems mad- the virus hasn’t gone away

Combine distance education plus digital classes. No need for Physical classes now

2m or not 2m.🤔 That is the question 🙄

Soon they will enforce the rule again when cases spike which will make the public put less trust on the system for handling the situation in such a confusing manner that jeopardizes people's livelihood

Scrap the metric system too
