Dear Supporter,
As Britain remains in a state of lockdown, I have spoken to an increasing number of people who wonder why they should sacrifice their normal life when our borders remain open and our authorities fail to run basic health checks or quarantine on new arrivals into our airports. Ever since February 21, when the Italian region of Lombardy was put into lockdown, I have railed against the fact that air passengers have been allowed to pass freely through our airports without scrutiny.
It is therefore bizarre – to say nothing of irresponsible – that it is only now that the UK is even considering a two-week period of isolation for people arriving from overseas. Any subsequent inquiry into this pandemic will show that Britain allowed the continued importation and spread of this disease.
