Lockdown hotel mismanagement - are we surprised?

I’ve just read that only £700 is going to the hotel. £1000 is going to Serco for Track and Trace! If true that’s appalling after the 22billion they’ve already had.

Daisymae, I totally agree about the army. I also think they should be involved in enforcing lockdown.

Mrs. Tadayon sounds a few sandwiches short of a picnic eazybee. Lucky for her, that there will be people on duty 24 hours a day at her isolation hotel.

I am rather more surprised by the actions of a Mrs.Tadayon, aged 68, returning from a trip to see family in Dubai, who was not expecting to be placed in self-isolation because she suffers from a health condition "which means she needs to be around people in case anything happens" and was expecting to self-isolate at home. She will also miss out on her vaccination, scheduled for this week.[ As quoted in today's Telegraph.]
What was she doing going to Dubai in the first place?

Think that there's too many cooks in this. They need an excellent logistics person in charge. I rather think that the army should pop in again, apparently if you ask them to do something it gets done. According to Tony Blair.

It needed doing. And there have been examples from overseas of how to do it well.

Based on zero evidence, I suspect that the hand of cronyism is at play again. But maybe I am just bitter.

Don’t look to us in Victoria we have stuffed it up- again !

Nope - not surprised - just the latest in a long line of half-baked, inadequate, haphazard 'measures' introduced with the usual incompetence - what else would we expect?

Not at all surprised.
