And that's the problem...
This is being tackled from a political angle, not 'science led' as claimed.
(It would be the same whoever was in power in the UK)
Where there is trust in a leader (such as in NZ), then people are mostly happy to go along with decrees because in the whole they believe it is in their best interests...
There hasn't been a trustworthy leader in the UK in living memory, so it's no surprise that whatever they invent next many people will simply ignore it!
As a matter of interest, I wonder how many people realise that there is no appeals process against the draconian fines that are planned?
I wonder if this will extend to other 'penalties' in the future under the guise of a never ending 'emergency' situation?
