I am not judging who is right, but I would not call that "consistently strict".
It depends on your perspective, it’s lax from an Asian perspective but plenty of FTers are saying the UK government is being too restrictive. The UK government seems to be pretty obsessed by nudge theory, my guess is they’ve decided the cost benefit analysis is still OK even without major enforcement of the quarantine policies if enough people choose to follow it.
