The Government sat on it's collective fat lazy arse and should and could have stopped flights coming in from China and Northern Italy when they saw what was happening. It didn't. Why - it didn't want to interfere in businesses (read Tory Party donors) making profits. It could have tracked and traced those that came in if they were showing any flu like symptoms and told them to quarantine. It didn't. It's likely the bug was here before Christmas and being labelled the worst flu in yonks, however, the Government only decided to do what it should have done in February (or sooner) last month and has now back tracked on that because Bodgit wants to go on another holiday, so effectively he has to let all of us go on a holiday, if any country is daft enough to let us in.

The mainly white and mainly youth are behaving irresponsibly, but when it became apparent they are the least at risk, what do you expect when we've a Government that makes it up on the hoof, lies on an hourly basis, shows double standards beyond belief and then wants to put the blame on our doorsteps for their crass incompetence?

Most people are behaving responsibly, but don't forget the majority of newspapers will use any angle make the Government look good. Those that aren't, well it wouldn't surprise me to find they've still got 6 months supply of bogroll and hand soap in their garden sheds to be honest.
