The Penny Finally Drops On Borders

Notice Hancock is playing it tough over the prison terms

As if anyone would get 2 years never mind 10 years

The way to get tough on borders is not to let anyone in OR if they must compulsory quarantine them all taking them under guard straight from passport control to the nearest quarantine hotel

That would soon stop the 20k + ' essential travel ' journeys to a trickle

Ask yourself, how proportionate is this?
 
The government really needs to stop pandering to the something/anything must be done brigade.
 
A better solution instead of prison would be to immediately deport foreigners, and take away the passports of British nationals.
 
I can't understand the clamber for more and more draconian measures for the usual raft of hard left posters on here, take away our freedoms, liberties and our ability to even leave the house and it would not be enough. It'll be like watching the life of brian soon when someone comes back into the country 'and everyone is shouting 'Stone him'.

Proportionality and being seen to be tough are two separate topics.

He's basically said, look at how tough we are, we're really putting down a marker, and hoping we all forget its 11 months too late.

Simple.

If the government tries to follow a moderate course they'll scream for tough measures and accuse them of costing lives, if the government goes for tough measures they'll call them extremists who are jailing poor people and if the government does both they'll complain about mixed messages.

It's not about public health, it's about complaining about what the government is doing whatever the government is doing.

Point out once when I've said they've been too harsh. You can't because I've consistently pointed out the failings in implementing anything until it's been too late.

I've also credited the rollout of the vaccine, so you can drop the 'let's pick on the Government' bollox.

They've made a complete mess of it and literally 10s of thousands have died as a direct consequence. They need bringing to account for it, not be allowed to brush over it as completely unavoidable.
 
Correct

I am another who've championed the vaccine rollout and before that the economic measures implemented to protect jobs

Not too surprisingly vaccine procurement was one job allocated to the right person who knew what she was doing and didn't prevaricate

I'm no leftie - I just can't believe the reactionary and down right idiotic policies that had led us to where we are
