His recent actions and dictatorship imposition of endless rules are killing the support of everyone I knew that once supported him.

I supported the early decisions, I grugingly supported the lockdown.

But over the last few weeks its just been one knee jerk reaction after another, and as per previous post, a lot of the general public (that I know of, and myself as well) are getting pretty cheesed off with all these constant (and inconsistant) rules for something none of us have see any evidence of (other than on TV).

I went out for a meal tonight. The rules forced me to wear a mask to walk 20 or so feet from the door to my table, and the same when I left.
A trip of about 10 seconds each way, Im sure it made all the difference (esp as its almost a certainty there is no CV19 anywhere near the place).

I had to keep asking staff to repeat what they were saying to me because their masks muffled their voice so much I could not make it out (a noisy environment).

I happened upon the official government site on masks, which states ;

Not exactly a ringing endorsment of their usefulness (and presumably thats real masks, not the homemade/makshift ones many people use).
The PM is reacting to the way the virus is spreading. If he did not react, the measures taken up until that point would have been inadequate to achieve the required results.

However, I must agree that enough is enough. There is growing pressure now for a different approach - one that I have been advocating for sometime now. Protect the vulnerable and let the rest of the population to go about their business.

Hopefully,the Commons debate on 6 October will achieve just that. I just hope they don’t force the older population to shield, because many of them are still hail and hearty. Some of us are even healthier than some people in their 30s and so it would be massively unfair to subject them to such restrictions.
