Nah. Not saying there isn't any truth in what you surmise might be their "plan" more that planning isn't this governments strong point.Unless as pointed out above this was an accidentally on purpose plan.
Let as many non vulnerable catch it as possible but retain plausible deniability that this was the intention by saying it was really naughty newspapers who printed the story of a plan they were trying to keep from them until Monday
So its their fault really not the government.
And/or the naughty people who went crazy all weekend expecting it be off the table next weekend - so breaking the rules by default. When, of course, they should have known better.
Someone else to blame either way as no government can knowingly encourage young people to go out and catch it as some will inevitably get ill. Though they calculate not many will be very ill. So on balance may be good.
If secretly that's exactly what they would like them to do but for obvious reasons could never say so. As encouraging people to get sick is not going to win many votes.
May not be what is happening. It could just be incompetence. There is plenty of precedent for that. But it would be stupendously incompetent to keep on giving weekends notice to let the virus spread one last time before publicly claiming they now have to do all they can to stop it spreading.
If only we had Mary Queen of Covid in charge.(sigh).Unless as pointed out above this was an accidentally on purpose plan.

Where are they getting pissed?The giving people chance to get pissed again , every time it is anounced before the weekend for next week or late at night behind a pay wall , so badly handled still
Ask @peoffrey he gets about a bit :)Where are they getting pissed?
Haha. Funny you should say that but I was thinking of starting a sweep on , 'Peoffreys Friday'.Ask @peoffrey he gets about a bit :)
I am only jealous 20 years ago maybe.Haha. Funny you should say that but I was thinking of starting a sweep on , 'Peoffreys Friday'.
Fair play to him. I'd only managed to bars tonight before the guilt kicked in. An early bath for my conscience, I'm afraid.
I think herd immunity has always been the plan, they didnt expect so many people to die early and i think they shit themselves but have gone back to it , no need to send the students back , you and i will know about the open university, no reason they could not have done that remotely and got their grades . Uni experience is a poor excuse , especially going into winterUnless as pointed out above this was an accidentally on purpose plan.

We need to hire her PR firm.If only we had Mary Queen of Covid in charge.(sigh).
Has anything you’ve seen since March ever looked like ‘someone had a plan’?The more I read on this, the more I think this was someone's "plan" to get a big and quick spread amongst youngsters in the hope that once they've had it, they can't get it again, and spread it widely later in the year ?
I understand that they have probably spread it unknowingly in the community, but for many this is where they probably picked it up, as most didn't have it when they went back.
Brava :)Unless as pointed out above this was an accidentally on purpose plan.
