I'm surprised cases in the Netherlands, where restrictions are pretty much lifted, are lower than the UK.
Just took a look at the Netherlands Gov Covid web site. You still need covid passes to go to bars and restaurants and face masks in public indoor places....thats a big difference to the UK!
Edit: My mistake, face masks are mandatory on transport and in bars/restaurants but its up to the company in question whether they require masks for supermarkets and other shops.

21/100k NL 381/100K (!) UK may do more testing but that's a huge difference...
Ireland is also higher than many mainland EU countries but restrictions still apply and the Pfizer vaxx is given to 12+
NI isn't great either not sure if antivaxx ejits or something else.
I guess we aren't leaving the house much this winter... a luxury we can afford though. It's not over, UK double vax rates are barely increasing... :(
