[Sir Tigger KC]

Much hoo haa from the medjaa and everyone else who dislikes Boris about the government's traffic light system for travel, as apparently it's too confusing for people to understand and is causing chaos.   

Here's how I understand it :-

Red: Essential journeys only. Quarantine in a government approved hotel for 10 days on return. Take a bunch of covid tests before, during and after.

Amber: Essential journeys only.  Self isolate at home for 10 days on return.  Take a bunch of covid tests before, during and after.

Green: Any journeys allowed including holidays.  Go have a good time, come home, no quarantine required. Take a bunch of covid tests before, during and after.

Seems quite simple to me.

The system is not confusing, it's the idiot ministers who don't stick to the script. People will hear what they want to hear, so if a minister says it's ok to go to Greece, they'll ignore everything else they've heard.

The problem is people; they're too stupid/stubborn/idle/selfish to apply simple rules to themselves. Hence the modern cry of somebody should do something! That somebody actually means somebody else

I thought AMBER was "FLOOR IT / GO VERY FAST"

Scrap the traffic light system and replace it with something more relatable......

Pub open a bit
Pub closed.

Very easy to understand.

Yep, there is no sense of that magic, human, thing "Taking Responsibility" today in so many people as it once was back in the day.

People complain of the "Nanny State" yet when it suits them it is all about what the State can do, and should/ must do, for them all the time.  What nonsense!

Simple green for go red for stop , amber for the stupid/undecided
All depends how much you value your health/life. None of this is rocket science.
