The Far Eastern nations do it by interviews, reviewing CCTV and phone records. All a bit intrusive, but if it saves lives I guess that’s acceptable. I imagine that Les Francais do things slightly differently, and with bigger guns😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that Les Francais do things slightly differently, and with bigger guns😃 Have only lived out here for two years but it's interesting that being a citizen comes with a great emphasis on both rights and responsibilities. And yes - rights are protected - and responsibilities enforced - by "bigger guns". Track / trace far more devolved than in the UK using much more local knowledge.

Seems the person who flagged this up has received a lot of abusive comments from "supporters of the pub". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust the English and British organisations more than the Europeans. I'm not anti English or anti British which is why I believe the statistics and information released by the ONS to be accurate and truthful. Why should I believe information and statistics provided by non English and non British organisations and other countries to be more accurate and truthful than what the ONS tells us? Who said you are anti-English? Do you think the Europeans will fudge their numbers? Is that because you are anti-European? Do you think European citizens trust their equivalent of their ONS figures? Your post makes no sense. It’s just a rambling nonsense. Edited July 30, 2020 by Arnold_Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
