How about refusing to close the border from India in case it offended the Indians?

I mean I could go on and on but maybe answer those for a start and we’ll see where we go from there?
You’ll have to wait while I seek out a publisher for the book I would have to write to answer that lot.

This is not a pandemic thread. However, I don’t blame you for this attempt at distraction since my essential point is that no-one asked for OP to be ‘let off the hook’. And I know that you cannot prove otherwise, which shows up this argument for what it is.

In my view, an appeals panel would probably uphold the original decision, but at least OP would have had the wind taken out of his sails.

More distraction. This is about the Owen Paterson case. Happy to deal with other questions in the relevant threads.
