Is that to stop covid spreading to other countries MPGeorgeEustice?

Jesus these guys are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.........

What's to consider? Get it done! This government pod of incompetence specialises in closing the door months after the horse bolted!

It’s a bit late

Government considering closing the gate after the horse has bolted ...

Was it not UK pushing for EU to open for “tourism” in late spring! Shameful, the lot of you all. Then the rich Brits with dual citizenship with EU do as they wish.... ugggg the poor always hurt themselves

About time close it both ways no travel in if out fir 6mths

Goodness sake considering ,,why did you not implemented before,,now all kinds of COVID variant are all in ,,,UK ... vaccine fare enough you vaccinated millions of people but COVID still around the corner,, How many people dying in one day You must do something to win this,

Tick, tock...

1 year too late. Tens of thousands of deaths due to their inaction, incompetence and corruption.

An independent Scotland would have done that in March 2020.

'Considering'... navel gazing.

Don't think just do it

Should of done this from day one

What took them so long?

‘Considering’. True to form, it would be premature to take action *before we have a solid outbreak of both the South African and Brazilian variants, wouldn’t it?

Wow. Great first day for Biden. Killed 50,000 jobs. Rejoined 2 dangerous groups. Authorized killing more babies. Welcomed migrant caravans. Told ISIS to come on in. Snubbed Israel. Disrespected soldiers twice. Got caught with no mask and 3,000 died of Covid.

Absolutely baffled that the borders weren’t already closed.

Considering the situation in the UK I'd suggest focusing on not letting anyone out.
