Final indecisions

HOLIDAYS in France should be removed from the orange-plus quarantine list. Spain should be excluded from the list. Covid cases down for a fifth consecutive day.

So why is it difficult to react with unbridled enthusiasm?

For this, the blame must be placed directly on the government, which has done such a hash of its virus directives over an extended period of time.

Christmas was on, then off. Freedom Day has become Freedom Delay.

Passports for vaccines, once an inconceivable imposition, are now firmly on the table.

Vacation destinations appear and drop off risk lists almost faster than planes can get there.

When there is a new Covid policy every day, who can blame the public for becoming less and less compliant?

It doesn’t help when the reasons for the rules are confused, poorly explained, or just don’t exist.

Take the latest suggestion that football fans will have to take a double hit to enter stadiums with more than 20,000 people.

Transmission is therefore a risk in Burnley (capacity 21,944) but not in Brentford (17,250). Good luck working that one.

There is an important line between a government that listens to criticism every now and then, and one that flip-flops almost as a default, stumbling until it is successful.

With his luck in the polls dwindling, Boris Johnson had better find her quickly.

Gold in check

REUSING canoes used for illegal migrants Crossing the Channel and giving them to groups of young people can, according to a source, make the most of a bad situation.

But we must not let the public relations stunt blind us to the humiliating failure that enabled it: namely the inability of Home Secretary Priti Patels to stem human trafficking by insensitive gangmasters.

Despite Ms. Patel talking about her unwavering determination, nearly 9,000 illegal migrants have arrived on our shores from France in 2021 to date, with the total expected to reach 22,000 by the end of the year.

As the situation escalates, it may not be long before every child in the UK has their own boat.

Bet now on Team GB for a gold medal at the 2032 Olympics.

Pride before fool

There are several words for a married father of four seemingly in a drunken stupor as a group of flashing beauties nearly half his age frolic around him.

Pride and Dignity Wayne Rooney’s watchwords for his management of Derby County hours before weekend hotel scenes are not the first that spring to mind.

I was sure the long-suffering ex-England wife Coleen will have some alternative suggestions.
