Wendy and I, sitting here in Crete, are not encouraged to return to the U.K. Each morning as we read the news it is nothing but bad. We certainly have no desire to return to a country, which appears to be in chaos? It is evident that some of these issues are a global problem but it is evident that for Britain, the combination of Brexit and Covid has caused an huge strain on both our economy and our people. We are not alone, the pandemic is world wide and every country has suffered but for a country as “advanced” and wealthy as ours, we appear to have quite quickly and far to easily fallen apart! The reasons are both simple and complicated but listening to the contradictory explanations and meaningless rhetoric, you would think that nobody has a clue , why it has happened? Talk, as they say, is cheap, from this distance it appears that the action is far to slow and full of political manoeuvring. As with all crisis, the reasons are many but it seems to me there is far to much discussion and precious little urgency in doing something, anything, about it! Introducing even more legislation is pointless, bring the army in should have been mobilised immediately, though some training had to be factored. On the upside, being unable to drive our cars will help the government meet its carbon targets! As for temporary visas, well need I repeat myself.
We have faced bigger crisis and at a time when we were nowhere near as advanced as we are now! Still it seems with all our progress, humans go into panic mode at the slightest hint of shortages.
Stay well
