I'd rather have lockdown end normally as planned in 2 weeks time, go back to a clear tiered system, have a 'relaxation' - to a certain point, say up to 8-10 people allowed to meet in a house - over Christmas/New Year. Then go back to tiered system following that as opposed to straight back in to a tough lockdown.
Trying to get police to enforce the limit of 8-10 will be very difficult for them to do though. Unless it's getting tip-offs about 30-40 in a house or something.
