“Consultations” are only there for legal or PR reasons - toltal waste of time

This thread misses the historical issues with communication from Westminster.
Most information and decisions are taken prior to consultation with the regions. This is covered in this series:
Coronavirus: Could the world have been spared? | Financial Times
Specifically this article:
Will coronavirus break the UK? | Financial Times
When you then read this article, within the series, it becomes clear the mayors and devolved First Ministers are being kept out of the loop on crucial information and a London/south east centric approach is being utilised that has meant Manchester, for example, came out of restrictions too soon some months ago, which has had a worsening effect when we fast forward to the present day.

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you of a few local business ventures that have been forced to close due to theTier3 measures insisted upon by Fatboy Blonde.
The local brassiere maker has gone bust. The submarine company has gone under and a food blender manufacturer has gone into liquidation. Further, a dog kennel maker has called in the retrievers and an origami company has folded.
A local strip club has gone t*ts up and Interflora is pruning staff in every branch.
We have just been informed that Dynorod has gone down the drain and tragically, the local ice-cream seller has been found covered in nuts chips and raspberry sauce: he topped himself.
