To be quite honest I don't fault them too much.
The government are doing the right thing by listening to their own experts, who know the situation in their own country better than anybody in the WHO (who are a total waste of space) or anywhere else. It's how good government is supposed to work.
How those experts managed to feck it up is another question, but again the government is doing the right thing by admitting the mistake and changing course.
It's far better than a certain idiot leader who refuses to listen to those who know better and would never in a million years admit he was wrong.
If your experts are saying one thing and the experts of other countries & the WHO are saying something different, surely the onus is on the government to make sure they're following the right advice? Rather than just assuming it's the right advice because it's coming from British experts?
It's not like they've come undone by some obscure flaw in a complicated plan. The extremely obvious problem that that multiple countries, health organisations, doctors, scientists and mindless internet posters were all screaming about turned out to be correct.
It's an absolutely horrendous, arrogant feck up.
