Wouldn’t another option have been to give everyone a ‘free’ test.
Not that there is such a thing as a ‘free’ service, we taxpayers (and those to come for several decades) are paying for it all.

Nothing to do with privatized medicine, that's a total red herring.. people have had to pay for a variety of vaccines for the 30+ years I've been travelling abroad under various governments, as an example try turning up at the airport (even pre-covid) to travel to Mexico without a vaccine that you've had to pay for..
And you negate your own argument.. you accept that necessary tests are not really free.. they have to be paid for by the taxpayer
Yet your option is that the taxpayer pays for my family to go on holiday this year because I choose to go to Venice instead of Whitby
Understatement alert! This government have made mistakes...this isn't one of them
