It is a sad fact that this thread has become more of an outlet for Tory bashing by people that just want to make political points no doubt as they like an audience and it makes them feel better.
There are not many countries where the population of that country think their government has done a good job. I follow Spain in detail from Spanish media reports and from people living in that country. Spain had one of the world’s toughest lockdowns yet after just a couple of months of it ending the virus is out of control again and according to the press and the locals it is all the governments fault, as they opened up the economy and tourist industry too quickly. The fact that their own behaviour has paid a major part in the spread again has been lost on them.
The UK government was criticised here regarding the quarantine requirements for Spain introduced on July 28th and particularly the Islands as it was not selective but national. Other countries soon followed including Germany in local bans but I note that Germany is now blaming a rise in numbers there from returning tourists so has introduced quarantine requirements from the Mediterranean Islands.
This is worth a read for those that said the government acted too quickly.
Some 30,000 German holidaymakers currently on the Spanish Balearic Islands face quarantine orders on their return. Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza have been added to Germany's list of coronavirus risk zones.
