It's just plain fact now for much of England that Macron closed the borders not out of genuine pandemic health concerns following the government announcement of a major mutant strain, but that he did it cos he hates us over Brexit and because you can't trust the French. It works.
I don't know what political change you could ever hope to achieve against such a powerful and omnipresent client media consistently manipulating the public with lies and base plays to kneejerk emotional responses every day for decades. The permanent devil on England's shoulder.
