Rest assured I was NOT trying trivialise Ebola or indeed turn it into a North South argument but in any other country the message would be rammed home that ALL border entry points regardless of geography, should be under the same critetia not a select few.
As you state 90% of traffic is coming through LHR LGW Eurostar so therefore 10% might permutate through other points of entry, shall we say it again ....that's 10% !
The Government and headline writers should have made it clear that ALL entry points need rigourous evaluation NOW !
Suggesting three specific points have checks introduced now whilst we get our act together on the others suggests a somewhat more relaxed approach !
It's a discussion I had over coffer with one of the NWESTs senior medics , it was he who raised this point, he shook his head in despair, there again what does he know.
