Bring me home.

People stranded on quarantined cruise ships have been asking why the UK government hasn't sent aircraft to repatriate them? It's another example of the whinge culture that suggests that folk have the right to go or do whatever but if things go wrong rely on somebody else to dig them out of the shit. We've long witnessed this as mountaineers and sailors have taken on the elements and lost relying on the mostly volunteer rescue services to bring them to safety.
The Government have no money; they have tax payers money which could be better spent than rescuing the holiday makers always bearing in mind that most tax payers couldn't afford to go cruising around Asia.
