Tighten lockdown rules for the whole UK

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

To close schools, borders, introduce a curfew and ban all household mixing until all vulnerable people will get the first dose of a vaccine.
The third lockdown is no different from the November one, with the exception of school closures. We already know that no tier system has brought the hopes placed on them because of the new virus strain and because people are not following the rules. Today, more and more people do not care how their behaviour may affect other citizens. Therefore, the government must enforce compliance with these rules through more severe forms, and not only asking and giving advice.
