So up to ten years in the pokey for lying about where you came from

Well, people were clamouring for a Singapore style approach to the virus - here it is

Now people are whinging that it is too harsh

Yes, but only if you lie about where you come from - its quite simple - don’t lie or better still, dont travel abroad

Just heard on the news that people staying in a quarantine hotel are going to be charged Ā£1,700 for their stay, wow, just wow…

That’s fair enough, isn’t it? Or do you think it should be funded from taxes?

Costs of deep cleaning, security, three meals a day, transport, and in some cases new air conditioning systems (individual room recirculation).

I’m all for it, I’m just surprised as I thought it would be ā€œfreeā€ to the end user. Do other countries charge?

I suppose that the people that are travelling can afford this as well so I have no problem…

Australia charges.

New Zealand is approx same cost as that, Australia charge as well but dont know how much.

I may be partaking of this quarantine at the beginning of April as My work visa runs out and they will not be renewing it as I am being nationalised and as I cannot go back to the Philippines I may be forced to return to UK.

Do not understand this backlash today.
10 years in jail for basically attempted murder is reasonable. But in reality because it is the tartiff for forgery that is aimed at those who produce the fake documents.
Ā£1700 for quarantine? Sorry, WHY are you flying?
A mate got stuck in UAE at start of pandemic. Family in Aus, he & 100k others had to choose to stay or go home.
He wrapped up his business waited 6 months for a quarantine slot & is now home.
That is a ā€œneed to flyā€ in a pandemic.
But why the fvck would you fly for any other reason?

As for vaccine passport means. Guess what. Sod Boris, nobody, no taxi driver, no hotel or bar owner is going to let anyone in even when you can travel again.
An airport transfer for £20 could put me or any of the guys out of work for weeks with no sick pay.
So the response is fvck right off.
Sod your anti-vax rights for Ā£20 we also have rights you selfish pr…

A chap I know, (an Aussie) flew back to Sydney a couple of weeks ago…his quarantine in a hotel would cost him $aud3000 which is about the same as the UK.

My mate’s family were in Melbourne he had to quarantine in Brisbane and then got hit by state border closure.
The flight cost was eye watering, so hotel cost was irrelevant.

Think many of the tweeters/fail types who annoyed me today still think this is for Ryanair weekend break types

:rofl:
