"Apple - We will make a free track and trace system.
Google - We will help, then it will work across 99 percent of phones. Should be ready by May.
UK govt - No, We'll make our own version.
Apple and Google - you'd need our help.
Uk govt. - No we dont, Dom's mate says he can do it.
Apple and Google - off you go then.
Dom's mate - can I have your propriety code.
Apple and Google - hahahaha. No.
Dom's mate - why not?
Apple and Google - Because your system breaches international privacy laws by ripping peoples contact data and storing it on your servers so you can use or sell it later.
Public - It does? F' that!
Hancock - our world beating system is up and running, at a cost of only £120,000,000
NHS - no its not.
Hancock - we have hit a snag.
Public - Whats that?
Hancock - It doesn't work on iPhones. Or Android. And nobody wants to download it.
Whole world - really...?"

The government haven't done another u-turn though. fools. Apple and google have had this sewn up for time, I can't imagine why people wouldn't sign up to a tracking scheme that collects and stores all their data. I'm not sure if they are puddled or they think we are all puddled.

If you have a 'smartphone', your data is already theirs.
