'Inexplicable' decision to lift restrictions on about one million people contributed to scale of outbreak

Failure to introduce quarantine at the start of the outbreak saw up to 10,000 infected people enter the UK, accelerating the spread of disease, an investigation by MPs have said.

Taking back control

No shit... I’m shocked that allowing thousands of people from countries that had outbreaks to come to the UK unchecked was a problem!

Not the government then?

Almost like the Government should’ve put some sort of controls in place . . .

Holbornlolz It was coming anyway

I remember when Heathrow wasn't going to close down. Ninnies!

No shit.

WendyPuerto How many from the EU?

And yet people are travelling now? 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄 Just stay in the UK ffs

And we're not even saying this in hindsight. Everyone thought this was completely insane, as far back as January. But Conservatives knew better.

NO they did not!! This virus was running rampant undetected since fooking January 😑😑 it is the only conclusion that fits the facts!!

Olgachristie Don't forget they told us we didn't need to wear masks & to leave all the PPE for those who needed it NHS etc for FIVE MONTHS , before telling us all to wear masks

Should have gone into quarantine (as per the cruise line passengers) but we had no where to put them so should have been told to stay home, or not been allowed in if they weren’t staying at a private address Utter fiasco

World Health Organization says : ' Pile up the populations in URBAN AREAS to support land & rental speculation, trade & tourism of mass, intensive agriculture ... it's criminal. Eveything must be rethought : spatial & town planning-social ecology-direct & economic democracy...'

MargotLJParker 1 million wow..the country is a Shitshow

I think we get now that inertia by an inept govt sped pace of the virus. Can we all move on now and hope and pray they get on top of it?

It was so obvious at the time there really seemed to be only one explanation for the decision to abandon tti. This appears to be supported by the statements from Sage scientists Vallance & Edmonds at the time & the Times report re Cummings.

Imagine my shock

At the time it was so obvious. I saw truck loads of Chinese tourists, thinking 'hazard'.

They should test people at the airport!

Oh just keep posting 'BORIS FUCKED IT ALL UP 1000'S MORE DIED' Then apologise for enabling this shitshow of a Govt.

Is this a surprise to anyone? Don’t know a single person who thinks BorisJohnson has managed our Covid response well

Another inexplicable one to add to the list then, but they're still leading in the polls. What does it take, for goodness sake?

Wow, thats horrific!

As a right-winger here, what's the point in having the Conservatives in power again? 'Because Labour would be worse' is not a compelling enough argument.

We know this. Should have gone straight into quarantine

I wonder why it its inexplicable? It was explained at the time by CMO & CSA exactly why the policy changed By all means criticise the decision, but don't pretend that it was made for no reason. It's what the scientists told ministers that formed the basis of all these decisions

Probably less impact than the illegals coming from france

How’s that possible when Covid doesn’t exist apart from those poisoned by last years flu vaccine. It has not been isolated and the tests don’t test for it even if it did. Colds, flu, cancers can all test positive. Don’t believe me, ask.

No 10 ditches plan to shield over-50s after backlash from ministersProposals to extend shielding to some over-50s this winter have been abandoned after Cabinet ministers mounted a backlash against the proposal Another kite crashes and burns. We pay tax to our government in return for them to solve issues of public interest, not for them to hand the responsibility to charities. Time they did their jobs and stopped passing responsibility to others and do your jobs. This was never on the cards to start with. It’s a piece of media mischief.
