It seemed that big bad american tach companies were not to be trusted and nice friendly British politicians were a much better bet. As Rross has been suggesting for some time controll seems to be the name of the game.

how you get people to trust politicians when politicians don't trust their electorate seems to be an insurmpountable problem for us.
The main problem with the Test and Trace scheme is that each country in the U.K. wanted their own Test and Trace scheme which was not compatible with other parts of the U.K.
The NHS Scotland test and trace scheme does not work in the North of England whilst the NHS England test and taste scheme does not work in Scotland. Devolution may in some people’s eyes be wonderful but when we need a reliable Test and Trace scheme we need a ‘one size fits all’ scheme no matter how unpalatable that might be to the SNP controlled Scottish Government where Health is one of their devolved matters.
