The second lockdown might be depressing but these 18 memes about it sure aren’t

I can’t believe they’ve done this.

After weeks of being told to come back outside and embrace being a normal human being again in the name of half-price buttermilk burgers at Wetherspoon’s, yesterday the bastard government announced that the UK will be restricted to six-person gatherings. This means that many people who had made plans within the 30 person limit now have to make new arrangements, and it’s fair to say that Twitter hasn’t taken too well to the idea of a potential second lockdown.

We’ve collected some of the best memes about a potential lockdown and the new restrictions to life under the government’s latest announcements so that you can share the angst that we’re all feeling.
