Confused about what to do over the festive season? You are not alone.
The Government hasn’t a clue either.

Boris Johnson is now saying we shouldn’t cancel any plans. We have had a blizzard of advice but absolutely no clarity.

Beyond evil
During his short life Arthur Labinjo-Hughes suffered unimaginable cruelty.
It is unbearable to think of the torture and barbarity this six-year-old endured at the hands of his father and stepmother.
The way they treated him was beyond evil. And while they hold ultimate responsibility, it is right that a review has been launched into the role of the social services.
One questions that must be examined is whether lockdown was a factor in Arthur’s death. The NSPCC and Childline both reported an increase in calls when schools were closed and restrictions were in force.
It is heartbreaking to think how many other children may have suffered during this time.
