As an aside I have never voted for the current incumbents in my life, however I have infinite sympathy for people who are in daily meetings where the discussion is about not about how to keep everyone alive, but about the most pragmatic way to arrive at the fewest fatalities. It must be a truly dreadful experience. I know that there are people in this world (and this board) who are so rabidly political that they are unable to have any empathy at all on this point, but I would point out to them that pure political self preservation instincts would have made life a lot easier for our leaders if they had just instantly fallen in line with other EU countries.
