I follow roughly 50/50 for active users who talk about British politics vs Irish politics on twitter.

I have always known exactly what was happening in Ireland. I am still not fully sure what's happening in the UK. And I'm living in England. https://twitter.com/laineydoyle/status/1249127908876128259

It has been terrifying watching one of my countries' governments shut down everything while the other remains business as usual. It's been frustrating watching businesses and organisations in the UK make decisions to continue as normal until forced to close despite the evidence.

And this thread doesn't even touch the difference in isolation periods - 14 days in Ireland vs 7 days in the UK. It's ridiculous!

I've been following Irish guidance rather than British guidance since they cancelled Paddy's. Ireland will undoubtedly come out of lockdown first.

When that happens, I'm just going to be winging it. All I know is that I don't trust the British government one bit in any of this.
