Everyone is aware that that is the prevailing advice.

I'd go away because I'm under 30 and healthy but the travel restrictions constantly changing would put me off TBH.
I think their point was more that it's highly likely that if you book a trip now, by the time you travel:

Flight will be cancelled
Either the destination or the UK will end up on a quarantine list
The destination will ban UK citizens
We will all be in Tier 4 by the end of January

They're not being virtue signallers necessarily, more saying "save yourself the hassle as it probably won't happen".

FWIW, I cannot see how we won't be in a national lockdown again by the end of January.
