Is Racing Allowed?

I don't usually post comments with a political dimension on here for obvious reasons. However it's hard to discuss the topic "Is Racing Allowed" without reference to the current political situation, so I'll make an exception for once. 

I think it's clear that the government has totally lost control of the lockdown. There's no longer a UK approach to the lockdown, with different rules being followed in each country. For example, social distancing rules are different in England to Wales, and school reopenings are different too. The  advice from the UK government on the recent London protests was ignored, and piles and piles of shoppers were ignoring social distancing today. We probably shouldn't be too surprised, as if the governments chief advisor can ignore the lockdown why shouldn't the rest of us ?

I also think that dinghy sailors are usually pretty conservative, with a small "c", and tend to be law abiding types. But assuming we take sensible precautions like not using the clubhouse, maintaining  social distancing when we're ashore and being sensible when we sail I can't see we're doing any harm so why should we listen to those idiots in government any more ?
