Credit: Jeremy Selwyn/Evening Standard SIR – Your recent leader and letters (May 25) drew attention to the multiple nonsenses emanating from Whitehall – particularly the ruling on amateur choirs. Yesterday there was also further confusion over travel rules. What the public needs is a guide on which of the Government’s pronouncements are merely advice and which have the force of law. I fear that we have become so supine during the pandemic and the lockdowns that we are losing the confidence to trust our own judgment. Edward Sharp
SIR – The suggestion that our freedoms will be curtailed beyond June 21 (“Vaccine not enough to avoid self-isolating”, report, May 25) has nothing to do with protection from the virus and everything to do with extending control over us.
