i don't disagree, the trade deal seemed more important than anything, but the point is that stopping travellers doesn't stop a variant already here, by the time we are aware of it, it's already too late. Covid was here in the uk long before march last year, so closing our borders in march wouldnt achieve anything. All borders need to be treated like red zones. Even then, there is evidence that covid is spreading in quarantine hotels, so that doesn't stop it either
