‘Maybe a highly contagious strain of Covid and food shortages which further spoils everyone’s Christmases will teach them’.
Why people (not just you Bodicote) are tying this to brexit with an ‘I told you so’ attitude is as bad as Farage, Williamson etc on the other side when they were praising us for the (non U.K.) vaccine roll out and suggesting it was because of Brexit. There’s a bit of a difference in countries having extra checks on borders/delays and closing them all together with no notice because of a worldwide pandemic !
If the concerns about this new strain are correct, this could be serious for numerous reasons and not just for us. Everyone closed their borders to denmark when they found the mink strain so it’s understandable until some protocols are put in place....we are just getting our extra dose of shit Covid luck with it being a few days before Christmas. Hopefully on further research/info things will settle down but it’s a bit worrying.
In the meantime there are plenty of genuine issues that could be caused by Brexit and the governments handling of the pandemic to focus on, without trying to lump in the fact that this strain/variant and the ramifications caused, is something we as a country weirdly deserved for voting for either
Ps I will gladly take some of the above rant back if the new strain is some sort of government ruse to justify changing Christmas restrictions (I wish it was/hope it is !) !
edit - just heard port borders with France have reopened which is hopefully the start of some better news ! Fingers crossed
