Thousands of words have been written about how illogical the 'pingdemic' is, and rightly so. The postponement of urgent measures to pay for social care – because the Ministers involved are self-isolating – sums up the absurdity. It is yet another way in which government success is being clouded by confusion and pedantic pettifogging, the rigid imposition of rules often for their own sake, or on very weak grounds.

An equally egregious instance of this is the way we have made it so illogically difficult to travel.

The Mail on Sunday has repeatedly pointed out that the families of the nation need and deserve a decent holiday, to help the country get over 18 months of gloom, confinement and separation from loved ones.
