In Britain there are more cases of Covid than in Italy and other European countries because “we love freedom”. Thus, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson responded to MPs who approached him with the hypothesis that the smaller-scale spread of the virus in other European countries is due to the measures they have adopted.

“It is possible that Germany and Italy have a lower percentage of Covid infections than we do because at the public and local level they have focused on a monitoring and testing system that really works,” said worker Ben Bradshaw.

“No, I don’t think that’s the case,” Johnson replied. “Actually, there is a substantial difference between our country and many others in the world. There are countries that love freedom and if you look at the history of this country for the last 300 years, it has always been at the forefront of freedom of thought and democracy. It is difficult, “concluded the prime minister,” to force our people to uniformly obey some guidelines that you consider indispensable. “
