...eds in parks and on beaches, the ability to go out for exercise right from the beginning of the "lockdown" and other breaches of safe distancing does not give us much confidence when it is compared to the virtual total lockdown that we have endured in Spain. Much has been sacrificed and lost and we fear that an influx of people from other Nations ( not just the U.K. ) will set us back and we will be left to pick up the pieces when the second surge hits.
I can understand your point about people coming in from abroad, and I think anyone would be wary of what will happen when tourists do arrive.
Your are right that the lockdown in Spain was more restrictive than in Spain, however you are wrong that there has been widespread disregard for the guidelines in the UK. The vast majority have followed the guidelines, including when going out once a day for exercise.
