no kick back, they seem to be Teflon coated and nothing sticks.

I'm now reading reports that the Indian varient is no worse than the Kent one.

Friends in high places, and the competition is so inept we're stuck with them!

Maybe we'll see a Guy Fawkes moment if this continues . . . . but with the result....

They've proved the whole way along they're inept at protecting the British public by refusing to close the borders. The kick back they will see from this, is it is a variant they willingly/knowingly let in.

I can't see why they would deliberately let this variant in , but I can't see why they couldn't control the borders better after everything that has gone on this last year.
Australia and New Zealand don't mess about controlling their borders do they?!

How did Kent get the blame for a virus, I thought the virus came from China in the first place ?!

Errors in governance seems to have become a popular expression, which with enough obfuscation and getting kicked around for long enough will become historical failure.
Nobody accepts responsibility and nobody is held accountable.
Just my theory anyway. Can be applied to various situations.

It's where a certain mutation was first discovered. There are loads of varients kicking around.

I don't think they deliberately let it in, but their incompetence in closing the borders and controlling people coming in from India as lead to the inevitable spread of it.
Too little too late, which has been their mantra all along (except for the Vaccine).
IMO they're too scared to annoy people (their friends who own these companies and who will later give them high paying executive roles post parliament employment) closing borders rather than preventing deaths

BoZo was supposed to be flying to India to secure another winning (/s) trade deal so was reluctant to authorise a lockdown and risk upsetting PM Modi. Eventually the clamour became too great and a lockdown had to be authorised.

Regarding Oz and NZ - they are easier to lockdown since they're at the end of the line, so to speak. The UK is a crossroads with people passing through to other places which makes it harder to lockdown (and we're not very good at organising either, which doesn't help).

The UK should be a doddle to lock down, we are an island surrounded by nothing but water, no land mass to just stroll across. Iirc .. it served us well between 39-45 but for some ridiculous reason we still have a problem sealing the doors!
