I’m pretty sure that the likes of IDS are only wheeled out to make actual Government pronouncements seem sensible and measured. ‘Why stay 2m apart’ he said this morning’, ‘when in other countries it’s 1.5 or even 1m?’ Because, Ian, if you were out and about at the weekend, you’ll have seen that many, if not most, treat 2m like 30mph, to be ignored unless there’s a danger of being caught or you already have 6 points. As Jasper Carrot once said of his mother-in-law’s driving: ‘She’s never had an accident; but she’s seen hundreds’.
