You are unfortunately stuck in the colonial days, where Britainnia ruled the waves and Brits knew best.
In science and medicine we are indeed world leaders. So I am more than happy to trust in what they say, more so than other nations.

It can hardly be considered to be irrelevant to identify where cases are taking place to isolate the people and communities most likely to be carriers. Many, non-Conservative voters, and those in other countries would consider such actions prudent.
what does how you voted have to do with anything?

It may be prudent.. but not possible if people are self isolating if they “think” they are infected. We can’t track it accurately now so it’s irrelevant.

We don't have the capacity yes, need to? Well, the effective testing regime in South Korea appears to be working. Essentially, we have manufactured a reasoning to justify being underprepared for this eventually, and swallowing it. Indeed if we don't have an accurate count when do we deploy more serious measures as we approach the peak?
What difference does testing make? At this stage

Yet, we are not actively stemming the infection.
Trying to slow it, not stop it. We can’t stop it.
