Such Wales of anguish
SO the devolved government in Wales doesn’t want English people bringing their dreadful diseases into the principality.
It’s decided that it can unilaterally bring in border controls in our supposedly United Kingdom.
Those in the Liverpool area, and perhaps people in many more English regions, will be banned from visiting a part of the realm which, you would assume, is free of Covid19. Only it isn’t, far from it.
Maybe they’ll build a wall and get the English to pay for it?
Or alternatively we might see a number of Berlin style ‘Checkpoint Charlies’ manned by hard pressed police who would otherwise be out fighting crime.
Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland, never one to miss a chance to decry the English, backs the plan. For her part she doesn’t want us to bring the disease northwards, even though it’s already well entrenched there.
How long will Wales be shut? If we don’t get a vaccine by the summer will it remain permanently tly closed to tourism?
This falling out is one of the consequences of devolution. When en you get one political party in charge rge in Westminster and others holding ng power elsewhere you’re not going g to get a consistent UK approach to many important issues.
And you have to question the motives behind the decision of the he Welsh Labour administration.
Are they sounding the death knell nell for their hospitality industry out of concern for health, or to spite the e English Tories? Maybe a bit of both. th.
