You got that right ritchie. Their Government's acted early and laid down the rules and everyone followed them for the common good. The biggest was to stop international travel other than nationals coming home and make sure nobody in Government was above the rules.

As a result, infections were relatively small, track and trace was easy. Bodgit sat on his hands for a month or at least the best part of it. Let anyone and everyone in, from anywhere - let's keep the economy moving. Flights from Milan and Central China were neither blocked nor were the passengers isolated, tested or anything else. Two of our first recorded people with Covid were a pair of Chinese tourists in York. I'll let you work out which part of China. Another was the fella that came back from an Alpine ski resort who spread it around like Lurpak. OK - he should have been allowed home but he should also have been isolated when you saw his full itinerary.

Bodgit still sat on his hands until Covid cases were popping up all over the place. At that point he completely gave up on track and trace with the NHS and local councils as he saw an opportunity for his mates to make money. So he gave them a pile of it and individual airlines eventually pulled some flights off their schedules. By the time he realised his mates weren't coming up with the World Beating App he promised us all - too late.

The genie wasn't just out of the bottle - it was everywhere. When just about everyone else was still behaving themselves and not going to pubs even though they were open because he didn't want to give pub owners and workers any money despite just about shutting down just about every industry in the country and paying workers to stay at home, Cummings suddenly decided to go walkabout and Bodgit decided it was OK. And at that one point, there you have it. Anarchy in the UK. If procrastination was an Olympic Sport - Bodgit would win every medal on his own.

Sooner or later there will be another national lockdown. At the moment Bodgit wants to procrastinate by putting some cities and areas into one of 3 zones, whether they have 0 cases (Anglesey) a moderate amount of cases (most of the country) or a high number of cases (Liverpool, Merseyside and Nottingham). Check the numbers. He wants to put and has put Lancashire into the same band as the Scousers despite them having half the number of cases. Manchester is resisting yet Nottingham despite having the same number of cases as Scouseland isn't even on the radar for Level 3. So, more confusion - no clarity of how and when you get out of these bands and the fuckwit wonders why nobody takes anything he says seriously any more.
