- toomuchtodo 5y agoBrexit was a choice, while the fiscal, monetary, and societal response to COVID was necessary and unavoidable.
- QasimK 5y agoI disagree that it was unavoidable. I said to my family in February that the UK should stop all - absolutely all - flights into the country. The cost of this would have been miniscule compared to what ended up happening. (Not just flights - everything except essential goods including via trains, ships and lorries. Certainly all people should have been disallowed entry.)
