LONDON - The way the government made a decision to impose a quarantine on those people travelling from Spain to Britain was “shambolic”, the health policy chief for Britain’s main opposition Labour Party said on Sunday. “I can understand why the government have made this decision ... but of course the way in which this decision has been made in the last 24 hours is frankly shambolic,” Jonathan Ashworth told Sky News, saying the government had given those Britons holidaying in Spain no time to plan for a quarantine by bringing in the new rule with little notice.

what would he of done? come on what? what is his plan of action? how will he actually deal with a fast moving dynamic problem?

...from the connoisseur of shamols!

Bandwagon Labour 🙄

But Portugal remaining on the quarantine list makes total sense.

He means fast and decisive.

Totally agree. Spain in not having second wave nationally. It is just in Catalan region. It is like locking the uk down when they had the Leicester peak. Stupid decision.

Shambolic? Can someone translate that ? Or explain it ? Its a mixed word of diabolic and what?
