Four more weeks

At least.

Last night, the PM announced to the nation that the final stage of unlocking was delayed four weeks to July 21st due to the increase in Delta infections.

What he didn't say that the infection has taken over as the primary variant as he failed to lock the border down from India. It took 22 days for India to be put on the red list, 22 days in which people could travel over, not go into quarantine and just pass through immigration and go to any of the four corners of the nation, on public transport if they wanted, spreading as they went.

This was a policy decision by the Government, and JOhnson in particular, and is a monument to his failure of leadership and ability to make timely decisions.

That he was trying to curry favour with Modi over a trade deal, so wanted to do nothing to risk that meant he gambled, and lost, with the nation's health. Again.

More than that, the advantage of the vaccination program has been lost. Other European countries restricted immigration and are not seeing this spike in infections.

And so, here we are.

And yet, although the entertainment industry is put on hold for another four weeks, dancing inside is against advice or is it the law? A full Centre Court at Wimbledon is green lighted. Does the virus not infect tennis fans, then?

It is madness and such logic-defying rules such as this that further undermines the public;s remaining confidence.

Am now beyong angry, or surprise, just shocked that anyone else is.
