TUI return flight from Zante - all passengers to self isolate

bradders1983

Wales have added 6 Greek islands to their list. So there you go Shapps, you dont have to add whole countries in one go.

...and don't you find this silly behaviour between our home nations rather disjointed and churlish as well.  I know the wee-one would like to lead independence for Scotland and do anything possible to stir and wind up Boris, despite hurting those that live in Scotland.  Not sure why the Welsh Assembly are joining the game now.   Completely pointless to divide and have different rules. 

We now have the ridiculous situation that someone can not fly from Rhodes to Glasgow without a 14-day quarantine upon arrival, yet could fly from Rhodes to Newcastle and take the train back into Scotland, keep quite and get on with life.   Ditto fly to Bristol and drive over into Wales.

The stupidity of our political "leaders" is beyond a joke.

You’re still meant to isolate if you land in England and then travel to Wales or Scotland. Your locator form says where you have been and where you will be staying.
legally you could probably remain in England for 14 days rather than go home and stay in isolation.

But couldn't people that live in England holiday in Zante for instance, come home and then have a day shopping or sightseeing somewhere in Wales with no checks?

"But discrepancies between different UK nations makes it even harder as someone could, theoretically, fly into Newcastle from Greece and drive into Scotland. That person should self-isolate for 14 days, but no-one will be checking."

Doubt that any of the politicos have got the "right" answers, however Nicola Sturgeon seems to be more so than Boris.

She would certainly have shown Dominic Cummings the exit door in quick time had he been within her administration.

Different rules ?

I think this will shortly become the next Dominic Cummings issue where people in the end just ignore the officials and do as they please.   

A flight carrying 180 passengers back from Crete to Cardiff has half on board who live in Wales go into 14-day quarantine, the other half of the flight living in the Bristol area or west country can jump on public transport on arrival, do as they please, go back to school, work and get on with life.
Others returning from say Maderia going to Glasgow where the CV19 infection rate is higher than the place they have just been for two weeks have to isolate for 14-days.

The disjointed, illogical and ill-thought out rules are quite frankly ridiculous and the public I think are starting to see through this nonsense.

People have short memories about Sturgeon.  Quite early on in all this, long before the Cummings nonsence, her own chief medical officer (or deputy) effectively did the same thing Cummings did. Nicola then got up there on the podium and defended her to the hilt.

In the end she resigned anyway but absolutely no different.

NoodleDoodleMan

Catherine Calderwood was the Chief Medical Officer - Nicola Sturgeon initially defended Calderwood's ill advised visit then changed her judgement after the revelation that it was her second such visit to the holiday home.

Boris on the other hand has totally ignored all opinions except his own, and Cummings is still in position.

Therefore very different.

She still defended it, exactly the same. Thick as thieves, politicians.  Also she never sacked her.
