IT is reported that some parents have been faced with a long journey to have their children tested for Covid-19.

If, as prime minister, you can be persuaded that it is perfectly normal to go on a 60-mile drive, with your child in the car, to test your eyesight, then of course you will believe that parents will think it fine to undertake a 400 mile round trip to obtain what is necessary to get their child back to school. Won’t you?
