Also , if they can't afford a couple of hundred quid for tests then WHY would we want them coming to the UK anyway 

Nothing to do with affording it, just not required any more.

But as my first post it "should be required" to protect the UK's interests   

It was, now it isn't. The people who set these rules have decided that it's a bit stupid to ask people travelling from a country with way less cases than us to take a test.

I've always been ready to follow sensible rules but, personally, I think omicron is no more than a wet fart.

omicron MIGHT be no more than a wet fart, who knows ? no one long term 

but if the highly transmissible Omicron mutates with something more deadly ,which is possible 
then the UK will be keeping an eye out for it by running DNA sequencing of variants from other countries by keeping the inbound PCR system in place ,which they haven't    because the government has no planning skills .as proven ,time and time again during the pandemic .

I simply cannot understand why the UK government is dealing with the situation so stupidly, the evidence is clear that we are heading for a severe crisis but they seem intent of just carrying on regardless, it's like watching a horror film unfold in front of your eyes.

Yep

Arrivees have to take a lateral flow test within two days of arriving, if that is positive they have to do a PCR. That would pick up any ninja mutants.

you can fake a LFT ,and even done correctly it's not definitive
As you know from experience with your good lady wife

😂😂😂😂😂 Whatever. Luckily, you don't make the rules.

Should we stay indoors in case Martians invade?

That went ages ago, made a few bob on the trade in too 

[STEMO]

But.......I am considering another one. Renault, not captur 

[Rangie]

Oh my apologies Steve, I thought you had just purchased one still time to change your mind now though.

Nobody seems to have a clue what direction the virus is going in so just carry on and hope for the best seems to be  the attitude at present.

Which gives the wrong messaging, as people will just do as they please, devoid of using any common sense.

. 

I just give up with the government nonsense being spewed out at present, just rely on commonsense it's worked for me so far .

Trouble is, all the retards near you lack common sense.

I paid circa £180 for lateral flow tests and PCR bookings for my lad and his gf to travel abroad. From 4am on Friday they've been scrapped. I demand a refund.

Are they confirmed as not required on arrival?

Might be prudent to take the tests anyways

I don't know what that means. All the info is on the bbc

If you're talking their Pre and Day 2 return tests then you should be entitled to a full refund.

If you're talking the departure tests to leave the UK, then it would be unfortunate to be refused entry if you had cancelled them simply because the UK didn't require testing before they left only to find the destination still expected it.

Oh, and there should be a jab for anyone taking BBC news at face value

I'll be honest, I don't want another lockdown, and all the associated problems that brings.

But I do feel we need some additional restrictions - eg, table service only in pubs, limit indoor gatherings to a number of households, masks everywhere indoors other than own home - but because Boris the Baffoon has lost his party, he daren't remove his thumb from his arse.  Which will probably end in another full lockdown.


I know somebody who went to an even of about 40 people shortly before Christmas, 30 are now positive, and 6 are in hospital.

(Despite them all having PCRs, as far as I know, none of them have been informed of variant)
