Someone can come from Spain or Italy and spend 5 days holiday in the Lake District however someone from London can't. What a total ******* balls up by the UK government....

Glad I don't have to use buses at the moment as I have a claustrophobic condition and the wearing of a face mask would be unbearable.
I don't like the new normal - I want the old normal back!

They also have to get from the airport to where they are meant to quarantine....

It's nonsense because of the exclusions...
Coronavirus (COVID-19): travellers exempt from English border rules - GOV.UK
Then we have the Cummings clauses:
...they must not go to work, school, or public areas, or have visitors unless they need essential support... They are also not allowed to go out to buy food or other essentials where they can rely on others.

Or is it 1% thinks it's a bit late, 99% say it's very late?
Mostly very late but there is value in restricting movement as it's hard to enforce where people are actually coming from - a canny person could move around quite freely (for a given value of freely) by taking advantage of which countries are accepting visitors from where. The nationality on your passport means nothing.
