“Based on the current data” is a selective way to plead ignorance about the ongoing trend and the likelihood of the trend continuing in the absence of any intervention.

It will probably be better to target restrictions at this hotspot if it doesn't - returning to school bubbles, remote teaching, after school clubs scaled back, distancing and masks with secondary kids, accelerated vax take up, local restrictions in Bristol etc, rather than a national approach, but then we did see last year that local lockdowns weren't wholly effective.

It’s certainly better to target restrictions than not, however failure to implement any only leaves the sledgehammer approach of national, extended restrictions, restrictions on trade, gatherings, etc. Which is entirely undesirable but inevitable if rises go unchecked against a backdrop of waning immunity, slow booster rollout, slow teenage rollout, etc.

Which is why it has little to do with personal responsibility at all - for the many people who through employment or otherwise have no alternative but to share enclosed public spaces with covidiots.

People hear what we want to hear. The warning klaxons are ringing, OB. I hope you’ve not paid the deposit for the CF Christmas Party.
