The "rule of six", which prohibits gatherings or groups of more than six people in the United Kingdom, came into effect on Monday amid a growing division among the British over the measures introduced against the coronavirus by Boris Johnson.
Scotland and Wales have deviated from the rule, introducing an
exception for those under 12 years of age
.
The conservative daily
The Daily Mail
has launched a campaign - "Save Christmas" - to force the "premier" to back down.
The latest battery of measures introduced by the "premier" to contain the arrival of a second wave of Covid - already above
3,500 daily infections
- has caused an angry reaction from dozens of Tory deputies.
According to a poll by
The Daily Mail
, 59% of British people are in favor of the "rule of six", compared to 21% who oppose and 20% who do not know or do not answer.
Johnson's decision to announce the creation of a special force to monitor compliance with the Coronavirus rules ("covid marshalls") has also sparked angry protests.
The United Kingdom remains
the country with the highest coronavirus deaths in Europe, with 41,628 government-
recognized
deaths
to date.
The mismanagement of the pandemic has caused the Conservative Party to drop 26 points in polls, tied at 40% in polls with the Labor Party.
The same poll by
The Daily Mail
detects a majority opposition (40% to 26%) to Boris Johnson's intention to modify the Brexit agreement and violate international laws.
