Too many of you trying to be too clever.

The point is not whether it is a 'common travel area'. There is a pandemic on and there are rules between the different countries. These include mandatory negative tests and quarantine otherwise you will get refused entry.

The fact you can willy nilly get away without having to follow any procedures is not really very good.

What restrictions are in place between the countries you were travelling within?

Yeah, it’s such a fine balance between personal benefit and greater good. My point was that I don’t think countries are currently giving vaccines to kids to protect them, which doesn’t sit comfortably with me. As I’ve said I’d personally rather risk getting covid (after being jabbed) than make kids have a vaccine when it doesn’t appear to necessarily be of benefit to them

Appreciate everyone’s different though and it might well be that in time the benefit of the vaccine for kids outweighs the risks, I just don’t think we’re there yet

As an aside, this lot seem to think adolescents should be vaccinated.

Mass infection is not an option: we must do more to protect our young

As the third wave of the pandemic takes hold across England, the UK Government plans to further re-open the nation. Implicit in this decision is the acceptance that infections will surge, but that this does not matter because vaccines have “broken the link between infection and mortality”.1 On...

'Non-vaccinated travellers arriving from Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, the Netherlands and Greece must present upon boarding a negative PCR or antigenic test taken less than 24 hours before departure.'

Those are the rules for the first border crossing I did yesterday. It wasn't enforced.

No.

From 5th July the rules applied to non vaccinated. (Remember vaccination rates on the continent are largely lower than the UK). From this weekend there are new rules regarding a wider scope of countries, but they don't make any difference to me or where I've travelled from.

No I'm not yet.

Perhaps you should have done a bit more research before you started making sarcastic comments.

For EU travel here they consider those with a first dose to be considered vaccinated - I have a 'green pass' with only one vaccine.
A lot of countries are now over 40% fully vaccinated, BTW.
Have you not had any vaccination at all? Fair enough if you don't want to answer.

Even if he has been, they may not recognise it, the same way the UK doesn't with the EU ones....which is incredible.

No it's fine. I'm going to have it but I've just been out of the UK for the last month, so it isn't really fair for me to make an appointment when I can't commit.

I don't know how many young people in France and Spain have had it, but I assume it is less than the UK.

Man of the people. Most of us aren't sure what we're supposed to do either given the messaging has been so unclear.

Brown-lidded bin collections update - 13 July

Due to the high number of our crews required to isolate, we have taken the difficult decision to suspend garden waste collection from Wednesday 14 July with a review in two weeks' time. This will mean we have enough crews to collect scheduled household and recycling bins. Thanks for your patience.

Yet again,something’s happened on a Saturday to one of our government members so that all of the news tomorrow will be focussed on Sajid & his coming down with the corona & taking the attention away from ‘freedom day’ Monday…hmmm
There does seem to be a pattern of Saturday events such as Handcock getting caught out & Boriss wedding - well played MSM

Anyone that refers to it as the “MSM” as if it’s an offshoot of the Illuminati is usually jam packed full of conspiracy nonsense

The 7 day average at the beginning of the month was 17, it’s now running at 49. In what world is that a flatline?
