I despair. It's like moving one step forward and taking a giant leap backwards
I’m supposed to set a good example and not go all OMNI, but it’s difficult to see beyond this. The UK has been pretty much out of step with the whole of the rest of the world (Belarus aside where they’re still playing football!) throughout and this seems to be just the latest bizarre example. Either we have a quite brilliant set of scientists who understand this better than anyone else, or there are other factors at play.
As has been said several times, if this turns out to be as draconian as reported UK plc will take a severe battering. One wonders, if this is political, whether it might change if the airlines kick up a massive stink this morning.
