Meanwhile, the BBC, Johnson and co in England are randomly reaching over and fiddling with everything else. It is a recipe for disaster, and 10's of thousands of deaths.<br /><br />A one size approach will not fit all, not when you have 4 nations, all with quite different domestic situations / public services. It's like France having control of Spanish broadcasting, and announcing gatherings of 500+ are fine while the Spanish government says these should be immediately cancelled. <br /><br />And why does England call itself the UK? Wales doesn't do that. Neither does NI or Scotland. France doesn't arrogantly call itself 'Europe' and announce domestic policy as if if applies across the whole union. It's just England that has this breathtaking arrogance, an arrogance that may get many killed.
