Shameless He is so bad. In every way. Probably the worst thing the Conservatives have done. Make Piers Morgan look good. I wouldn't go that far. He hasn't broken the Tier 4 lockdown rules by jetting off to Antigua on holiday whilst simultaneously and hypocritically calling for more lockdown misery.

So yes, people in Tier 4 are already in lockdown.
