Its weird, we have a government that spent years obsessing about supposedly "taking back control" and expends a massive amount of energy creating a hostile environment to immigration, yet when it has comes to the genuine threat from Covid we're 15 months in and we still haven't got a grip of our borders
The Indian variant is here, according to Sage it appears more transmissible than the Kent strain and is set to be become the dominant variant. The good news is it doesn't appear to evade the vaccines. That said, it does increasingly look like June 21 now will not happen
I'm afraid we're in this position because of Johnson, he got better but just doesn't learn and takes huge unnecessary risks.

Yes he dithered and delayed and waited the best part of 3 weeks to put India on the Red list because he had an different agenda centred around an International trade visit with his mate Modi
So do we really our lives back this Autumn![??? ??? ???](/images/smilies/question.gif)
If the answer is yes, the solution (and unpopular one) is to continue to suspend all International Leisure travel until things are under control GLOBALLY and further tighten the border which mean tighter controls on incoming passengers. Unfortunately, only proper hotel quarantine is really effective....
Evidence suggests it also what the public wants...
