UK Govt: Oh, er, we actually can't do that.
But keeps telling people: Get ready! Get ready!
Also understand that the govt has no obligation to sacrifice your kids jst because it decided to go for something it knows it is not ready for.
Even if 100 % of the ppl had voted for that, only sensible thing to do is to say: "We promise you bungee-jumping, you'll get bungee-jumping, but not b4 we have enough cords."
