Secure our borders properly until the pandemic is over

It’s good enough for everything else.

Plus it’s PCR tests on return.

Crew are relentlessly tested

Yes are you are correct its PCR, but its self administered. Do you trust the public to provide an accurate test?

It seems we have 270,000 Brits off to Amber countries this weekend, that's a lot of sick relatives

47% of UK population have not had a first vaccine dose and we have a variant rapidly becoming dominant we still don't understand

We need to consider the risk reward of all this when you consider what the human and financial cost for the UK in the past 15 months

You either trust the tests and how they have been administered for the past year or you don’t, it’s pretty simple.

You also have to have a test before you get on a plane back to the U.K.

That’s even before you get to vaccinations.

It’s not illegal to travel to any country, so it doesn’t matter if you have sick relative or not.

Is self swap at home with a lateral flow kit on day 2 and day 8 really good enough?

"Self swap". Is that where you start with the right hand and finish with the left?

From Monday Spain welcomes Brits...

No vaccination required, No PCR test

I know they want tourists but this is reckless and asking for a repeat of 2020.

Interesting from Wed France will allow UK tourists in but are taking a more sensible approach than the Spanish

a) Double dose Vaccinated + 14 days - 1 x LFT test, no quarantine

otherwise...

b) Test + 7 day isolation

Kids exempt - just test required

Seem they are keen to get the retirees in now and families come the summer holiday
