But still have to quarantine for 2 weeks upon arrival into the U.K. A nurse or fruit picker from Brazil however, can start work tomorrow.......

We need someone to pick our soft fruit. Where are your priorities!But still have to quarantine for 2 weeks upon arrival into the U.K. A nurse or fruit picker from Brazil however, can start work tomorrow.......

That’s what happens when you have territory the size of the UK, with a population smaller than Scotland’s.
Social distancing is natural out there.
The population of London is double their entire country’s.

The two points aren't mutually exclusive.

Lazy nonsense. You think everyone lives in the country ?
How about the population of Auckland is double that of Liverpool ?

Hope she's right. Kudos if she is.

It really isn’t lazy nonsense, the laziness is saying “they’ve got less deaths there and are free of it now so she’s better”. I’m not saying she isn’t and @joe123 I totally agree with you there mate.
England specifically is immensely more populated, over a smaller territory than New Zealand, there’s 10x more people in a smaller area, with several larger international airports and the biggest economic centre in Europe, with London.
The amount of people travelling in and out and around the UK compared to New Zealand is ridiculous.
Comparing the two countries is a terrible argument to use as a stick to beat the UK government with. Use Germany or France by all means but not a country with more sheep than people.

You originally took exception to the point they have a competent person in charge.
The points you make are undoubtedly a factor but so is the competence of the person in charge.
The point made is correct and is not diminished by your post. The PM of NZ is by a margin demonstrably more competent.
I won't respond again as the argument is finished and more of your BS doesn't change it.

Why are you trying to be rude with it? I’m here to discuss it and make points based on the topic.
Anyway, I never said she wasn’t more competent but their success is mainly down to the population scarcity of the country and international travel into there, compared with just our capital city, which alone dwarfs NZ.
She may have faired better than Johnson in charge here, I like her more as a person but comparing the two now isn’t a helpful argument to make, they’re in charge of totally different ships and his job has been infinitely harder.
