EXCLUDE CHILDREN FROM THE RULE OF 6
Make children in England exempt from the rule of 6 restrictions in line with Scotland and Wales.
Our children have suffered hugely over the course of the pandemic already, and despite scientific proof of the minimal impact they have in contracting and spreading the virus enabling the reopening of schools and mass mixing, they have been thoughtlessly and unnecessarily grouped in to the new limit of 6 when socialising.
The UK public are not stupid, the rules do not need to be draconian to be understood. Let's have a common sense approach and think of our children!
