Yes absolutely and that's completely understandable.
Really, really sad news nonetheless.
This sort of story is why I kind of don't agree with the current position on borders. (hear me out).
I'd love to know how much money is ACTUALLY coming into the economy from the coach loads of grannies and gangans and other tourists.
How much money are they actually spending LOCALLY to boost the economy and how much are they spending in businesses with UBO's overseas.
Now from there we weigh up the risk to our vulnerable jabbed and unjabbed people. It's no stranger in terms of info that double jabbed people are dying as well, and a fair few of them.
I really think the border approach at the current stage was a bit of a desperate shank at the ball for want of a better phrase. To open them whilst infection rates were knowingly climbing in the UK at quite a rapid rate and the UK hadn't even reached freedom day, surely that is a decision open to scrutiny and the ins-and-outs of how that decision making and policy was implemented are surely worthy of another roadshow in PAC.
There has been deaths, and there has been a number of families now forever without their close relative/loved one, that they will never be able to talk to, or hug, or kiss ever again that may well come down to overall just poor decision making.
I know we need to get on with it, I know that. But we could have just got on with it a little longer with the borders closed.
I know people are desperate to see family, I know people are desperate to see friends, but we could have had a few less deaths if we just waited to see the situation in the UK plateau and just assess how it developed.
It could have really made a difference, and I know hindsight makes it so easy to comment, but it was utter sense.
To conclude I feel it was a bit of a 'inner-circle' 'the greater good' hot-fuzz-esque decision made by the old boys club...oh sorry CoMin I mean.
Does anybody have any points on the contrary to refute this?
If you want somebody like me with common-sense thinking in power, don't you worry I'll be standing in the 2026 General Election. I'm unfortunately just SLIGHTLY too young at the moment as I wouldn't be able to granny-farm. They'd see me on the doorstep and think "oo a young man in 2021. He probably wants to stab me for heroin money!"
