No. I just have an cautious view of how to proceed. One that Mr Johnson should have heeded in 2020 when as an island nation we had the opportunity to keep the virus out and didn't take it
This is just total nonsense.
Would you like us imprisoned for 2+ years like New Zealanders and locked down at a moment's notice repeatedly like in Australia? That would be incredibly damaging.
It just wouldn't work here either.
a) Health regulations are devolved and the Scottish/ Welsh/ NI governments could have done something different.
b) You can't easily shut the border between north and south in Ireland. Many people work/ study/ shop across the border each day. At the same time, you can't shirt the border between the north and the rest of the UK. It's a political minefield.
c) Britain isn't an island nation like you think it is. Tens of thousands of lorries cross the Irish Sea and Channel on an average day. Dozes and dozens of cargo flights land here daily from around the world too. Britain relies on this trade to keep on going and feed us. Yes, Britain should produce more food here, but it doesn't and that won't change overnight.
d) Millions and millions of foreigners live here. We can't imprison them if they want to leave. At the same time, millions of Brits live abroad and it is their right as British citizens to return home.
