Australia did have a problem of illegals arriving a few years ago. They announced that in future every single one would be sent back from whence they came as soon as they arrived. They stopped coming overnight.
It isn't rocket science.

Unfortunately, having been part of the EU, Schengen zone or not, the UK may as well not have had a border.

I appreciate that you have concerns with family members working in the care industry, but you're saying very little about the lack of preparation regarding distancing and ppe from care management. Unless that is also the government's fault...

1st March ,despite the UK having it's thunb up it's arse  :-X we have shat our pot full  :(
 2nd March for Coronavirus guidance for clinicians and NHS managers,time to order some PPE  :o oh dear  :-[


Masks, visors ,and washable (at the care home) uniforms all sorted long ago for my daughter
not NHS approved one use and throw away items ,but things can be washed / sanitized

P.H.E etc should inform care homes or other care sectors ,including dentists etc of possible need to buy such items as soon as information is available (11th January then  ::) )

True, but our glorious leaders don't have that excuse for not controlling borders any more. They are still arriving on the south coast every day, and apparently the camps in France are being hit hard with Covid 19.  Pritti said she was going to put a stop to it as soon as she took office, but she is just a pound shop Margaret Thatcher. She talks the talk, but talk is cheap.

Technically they've only been able to do that since Feb 1st, and it might be argued that most governments have been some what distracted.

Also, what we have been told publicly is probably somewhat different to anything that may or may not have been done as Batflu developed. The time will come for questions and lessons, but now is not it.

I reckon Virgin are just stamping their foot because a bailout is not forthcoming. See how much we will cost you if you don't come across.

They don't tend to play that game :-\ besides their Gatwick operation is 100% holiday travel, and there ain't going to be much of that going on any time soon.

No word yet from whether Norwegian will keep their base their now that they have had their bailout approved...

Must say i'm a bit disappointed about Virgin pulling out of Gatwick.
When I stay there with work, I use the same Premier Inn as most the staff  :D :D :D

One of the sadder side effects of that particular news, is they have quietly decided to scrap all their 747s :'(

True, they were gradually doing that anyways, but that's that.

Also in response to Stemos suggestion about it being a ruse to call the governments bluff...

It's not.
