All right, the holiday season is coming. Christmas is here, and we're all being released from this lockdown.

Super exciting. We're going to get our freedoms back. We're going to be able to go do anything we want or will we.

And when you look deep into this new tiered lockdown system, unfortunately it looks quite the

contrary because 99% of the UK is still going to be in tier three or tier two lockdown.

Now let's look at tier three.

It means pubs are closed, restaurants are closed, bars are closed, shops are closed, cinemas are closed, theaters are closed, and you can't mix between households.

Looks a lot like docked down to me. Tier two means some of those things are open, like restaurants and pubs, if of course you order a meal,

but you can't mix households, which means it's still a de facto lockdown.

And so we also are being given five days near Christmas where we can mix with our families,

which we're being told is going to cost us another 25 days of further lockdown.

And the prime minister yesterday said,

expect harsher lockdown measures in January.

And I don't know how you get much harsher than tier three.

And so I just wanted to call attention to the fact

that we have been now conditioned for lockdown.

We're like a dog, a Pavlovian dog.

And when we hear a bell, we go hide in our doghouse.

And now we've been conditioned by our benevolent overlords

to thank them when we get a few days to mix with our family,

to thank them when we can a few days to mix with our family, to thank them when we can actually return

to our place of work and make a living for our families.

We thank them when we're allowed to go to a cinema
