Hugging was never *not* allowed, but the fact absolutely no one in the media checked or questioned this, & that the commentariat seems A-OK with Michael Gove instructing the public on when they can/cannot embrace other humans, is why we’re now living in twilight totalitarianism👎 
Ordinary people are just using their common sense about all this. The elitist fantasy of population micro-controls via regulations, statutory instruments, Govnt webpages that change every day, or Michael Gove’s disturbed stream of consciousness, are just that. Fantasy...
Also, this is the sort of territory where you will more or less never see The Fact Checkers who seem to have become more comfortable punching down than actually holding power to account.
The lifting of a hugging ban that literally does not exist is on every single *front page* today, and is also a topic of conversation on BBC #r4today...
