Just saw this morning that some German tourists had made their normal twice yearly holiday trip with their VW camper to their holiday home in Torrevieja. Shut down in DE, Closure of Com Valenciana, What a joke!!!

EU borders are open*. People are free to move around. 

Relax, mind your own business, you'll be fine. 

*except sick man UK.

Look, until EU countries close all borders, there is nothing you or I can do to prevent folk moving around and there simply aren't enough police to carry out road blocks 24/7 on all routes. 

My advice is to avoid any contact and to carry on in your own bubbles and being cautious when out and about and none of this will have an impact on you or those close to you. 

These are strange days and folk are adapting to it all differently and mostly just trying to get by without further harm to their health-- mentally and physically. So whilst you may not like the idea of someone travelling through borders, it may mean significantly more to them to do so and unless turned back, then they will feel entitled to be here.

Fish is way down the list regarding the contribution to the GDP of the U.K. we have freedom to control our own Laws and who we allow in..Germany had so many restrictions put on it after the war the only way forward for them was the EU.they may rule them but they won’t have any say how the U.K. is Run.that country should have been broken up a thousand times and distributed after what they done to millions.

Can you provide a link to these 'German rurestrictions ' that the defeated and bankrupt Germans put in place some 50 years before the the formal establishment of the European Union under the Maastricht Treaty to the detriment of the UK. 

Any link will suffice. 

Cheers.

The world has changed and I am part of a generation they are trying to kill off now!  "Mind my own business", Quite right today!

I have worked in many countries, seen violence, been the subject of corruption and seen corruption first hand by the forces of law and order, seen Witnesses touting their services outside courts in a major European city. Seen the pushers on the streets locally, but I have seen nothing!

Once I stopped a thief escaping, My wife from Palermo was very unhappy saying I took a big risk. These days the "3 brass monkeys" is the the way to go, keep a low profile and a nasty stick.
