I wonder whether we should really be lamenting the latest delay of so-called freedom day quite so much. Confusingly, under new rules there will no longer be a maximum number cap on partygoers, but social distancing must remain enforced. In effect, this means no dancing and no singing but plenty of time for praying. Marquees – wait for this – are required to open 50% of their walls in order to count as outdoors. Of course many secular couples are outraged, particularly since vaccines and testing are now freely available.
