Look what happened in Magaluf. Apparently (The Times again), a lot of the French cases are coming from tourist areas like Brittany Doesn't bode well for my trip there in 4 weeks Quote

You may be right. What surprises me is that it's been done by a government that have been brilliant so far. It's so out of character. Quote

I think it is knee jerk potentially also. But I don’t know what other option they had. It was this or let it run. And letting it run wasnt really feasible for my way of thinking. Quote

ZiggyStardust Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Slovenia go onto the UK 'no need to self isolate' air bridge list from tomorrow. Finland have just put Slovenia on their 'need to self-isolate for 14 days' list, from today. Quote

There's genuinely a woman on my wife's facebook feed who has been rabid in her criticism of the government for not taking CV seriously enough. She's always having a pop at anyone suggesting schools should open (she's a social worker) and has parents shielding etc. Weirdly, her attitude towards CV is suddenly completely different now it threatens her fortnight in Benidorm. She's stopped posting memes about Boris dithering with the lockdown and is now saying he's an over zealous fool. Utter plum Quote

I can see that sooner, rather than later I will be herded ( by some factor - either age or colour rather than rebellion and dissent ) into some camp somewhere where I will be asked to take a final shower. I am not kidding. Before they do that I suspect there will be a tax taking maybe 50% of all savings out of every persons account. Money will be useless as it will no longer be legal tender - so any under your mattress will have to go into an account and be "seen" so they can tax you - all in the name of this virus of course. Any money I leave to my child or my mother leaves me will be taken at the death of the person. This is the new communist fascist state and we are already in it. I didnt allow it. I cant fight back alone" Quote

It makes sense though. Hopefully now that it's been agreed, we'll start claiming back when tourists come over here and use our NHS, as for some reason successive governments have never really bothered (which is a scandal) Edit: Just checked, apparently nothing has been agreed yet: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44850972 Edited July 27, 2020 by Sweep Quote
