I still don’t get it,the government & public think the UK is in control here. If other countries still insist on tests,you’ll still have to get tests. The UK lifting it alone is pointless,it needs coordinated rules. Now if only we could coordinate laws & rules with Europe 🤔

It's stupid the previous advice is created so infections stay down. This Government is hell bent of ignoring all advice. I just hope Europe bans us all from traveling. We are not protecting ourselves or others.

Labour can holiday in an overpriced caravan and shit in a bucket in the rain then.

nice
