Tories on the border: migrants out, but Covid-tourists in?
SOLOMON HUGHES writes that although the government has talked tough on controlling who comes in and out of the nation, when it comes to making money from tourism and travel the gates have remained open — despite the pandemic

YESTERDAY the government announced that its planned programme of demanding inbound travellers have a “clear” Covid-19 test will be delayed until next week.
A year into a global pandemic and a government which supposedly has “control of our borders” as one of its highest principles still has minimal virus control at the border.
This failure is not new: the main form of “virus prevention” at the border, the supposed “quarantine” rules have been privatised and are even more half-hearted and ineffective than the “contact tracing” system.
