Hotel Quarantine for all arrivals in the UK? - Page 7

Oh.  looking at how close that date is I sincerely hope it all goes well for you and as you say U.K. national with a house so it’s surely reasonable to assume you can go home.  good luck amd let us know how it goes please.  

I believe the majority of the spreading is done in the schools and then back home to their parents !

Boris is surrounded by a very very good team and has done an amazing job in my opinion. All this against a backdrop of an unknown evermoving disease. Instead of criticism which is si easy, how about some praise for the situation we are now in, leading Europe by a long way thanks to a very intuitive and forward thinking health minister. We are the envy of all, and my heartfelt thanks go out to our wonderful government. 

What colour is the grass in your World 😁

Just one of very many articles , this is the Observer.   “. Michael Gove has conceded that Boris Johnson missed five consecutive emergency meetings in the buildup to the coronavirus crisis, and that the UK shipped protective equipment to China in February.

The government faced intense pressure on Sunday over its initial response to the pandemic, as Labour accused Johnson of having been “missing in action” during the crucial weeks when the virus first arrived in the UK.

Gove initially insisted a Sunday Times story detailing failures during this period had numerous inaccuracies and would be corrected.

Asked on Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday show whether Johnson missed five meetings of the government’s Cobra emergency committee, and about the shipment of hundreds of thousands of items of personal protective equipment (PPE) to China during February, Gove refused to comment.

“I won’t go through, here, a point-by-point rebuttal of all the things in the Sunday Times story that are a little bit off-beam, but that will be done later,” he said.

But in a subsequent interview on BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show, Gove, who holds the cabinet role of chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, accepted that both claims were correct. He said missing Cobra meetings was normal for a PM.

“Most Cobra meetings don’t have the prime minister attending them,” Gove said. “That is the whole point.” Cobra meetings were “led by the relevant secretary of state in the relevant area”, he argued.

“Whoever is chairing those meetings reports to the prime minister. The prime minister is aware of all of these decisions and takes some of those decisions. You can take a single fact, wrench it out of context, whip it up in order to create a j’accuse narrative. But that is not fair reporting.”

Gove is correct in that prime ministers do not always, or even routinely, chair Cobra meetings. But it is common for them to do so during a major crisis.

well i take my wooly hat off i think that pensioner  friend of yours is doing a vital job, do you not think he deserves a medal, not only is he endangering is life but he dont seem to be getting much thanks, as i said in my previous message its ok to give a helping hand, last year my wonderful wife made gowns for the hse (nurses) and i did my little bit as well seanie

Quarantine in a hotel is only from the countries in the red list , if not you can stop at home , I would go quick though because this could change any time as it’s a heck of a lot to look at four walls in an airport hotel , plus it apparently does not include food . I mean can you believe it ? Imaging aiding two weeks of Red Chef to the nightmare at double the cost probably ! 

Yes Nicola drives me up the wall with her inability to agree with anything , and how she makes it look like she is doing it all on her own with no assistance from the Uk at all ! Let’s hope that they don’t seperate like we did from the EU! 

If we have all these nee variants coming up all the time our only hope is that any of the 5 vaccines circulating world wide can do the trick to let us get back to some kind of a life . It’s our only hope , I think it mimics herd immunity so fingers crossed , I am fed up of lockdown and home schooling , don’t get me started . Despite my best efforts is this going to be enough ? They have effectively lost almost a year of school as they had not caught up from last year when the second and third lockdown started . 

Luckily it’s summer so the numbers are going to be low giving us time to cover the whole population vaccine wise . I think if the Germans don’t want the vaccine then let someone else have it and not waste it as some protection is better than no protection . Roll on summer hopefully we can join you all on Olivia beach , socially distanced Ofcourse ! 

Hopefully wee Nicoliar will be toast soon and Scotland can concentrate on health, education and the economy not division and  embittered battles with England. Nationalist politics is ugly politics.

Hi val, good luck with your journey home,, we will be returning to uk next week,, have arranged for pcr tests to be done the day before we travel to santander, I have read and listened to all the guff about travel, hopefully we can return to our home in uk,, as you say the hotel charges do not take into consideration that £170.00 per day is probably more than a pensioners income per week, also presume that everyone has a mobile phone or technical ability to fill in the plf on line, what is a qr code and how do you find it,, its OK for bojo and Hancock to issue threats if you don't comply, we don't have minions running around doing all this for us, it's an absolute nightmare,,,,, hope your journey goes smoothly,
