No good blaming Boris BT, the 'Science' says closing the borders makes no difference, and the PM has to go with the 'Science', he'd be crucified by the media, especially the Grauniad and BBC, and HM Opposition if he didn't. Dom's evidence to the Select Committee,

"He was told, and we were all told repeatedly, that the advice is not to close the borders, because essentially it would have no effect… you cannot blame the Prime Minister directly. That was the official advice. The official advice was, categorically, that closing the borders will have no effect."
