I think back in March if the government had bit the bullet and bailed out the travel industry and refunded holiday makers it would have saved thousands of lives.
Tourism isn't the only thing that comes through our borders though. A lot of our food does.close the borders completely and permanently and we haven't got anywhere near enough food to survive.
I should have been clearer that I meant leisure travel. I class holidays as a luxury. The Athletico Madrid fans shouldn't have been allowed over too.
But if we allowed food in we would be allowing potentially contagious people in. It only takes one and it increases.
