East and south european countries have been put on the list without a blick of an eye, yet when it’s a western country then it’s a discussion. Ok...

Its ok stay safe with this beauty!!!

Why? I am in Nice. No spread here

We’ll ignore it. The government imposing a quarantine on a country with a lower transmission rate than its own is ridiculous.

This is nothing to do with a virus this is all about trade and Brexit,,

Ridiculous, on…, out of the list. Stayed 4 months locked down in the U.K. because this stupid government failed to implement plans. Now in France where the situation isn’t as bad as the U.K. I’m also following the social distancing rules. I’ll go back & quarantine again?

Lolz...total lack of self awareness, we are the sick man of europe

But not with the illegal immigrants, they can still pile in.

Right.........

I don't know why. England has the highest Coronavirus deaths in Europe. We are a sick nation.

Can someone please give me a logical answer as to: if their rates so much bigger(I’m a little cynical it is) then why are we passing about with quarantines. Ban travel to and from France if it’s so high risk! WTF! JohnsonHasFailed

The UK doesn’t hesitate to ‘talk the talk’ but has always delayed when it comes to ‘walk the talk’

UK will not hesitate to add ✅France to quarantine list We WILL hesitate to: ❌Implement an early UK lockdown ❌Provide enough PPE ❌Discharge infected patients into carehomes ❌Delay pay rises for NHS Nurses ❌Test ❌TrackAndTrace ❌Sack DominicCummnings for an eyeyest

.

Tough talk considering we’re the ‘sick man’ of Europe.

Please add Ireland, for all our safety MichealMartinTD LeoVaradkar EamonRyan agree to it👍🏻

Would that include all freight drivers coming via France too?

Is there a point of that list? It changes by the hour. It is less of a guidance and more of a confusion.

Stop promoting this governments propaganda!

there are virus ridicoulous forbide travelling.Countries should tske care at home and leave people do their best

I see we are back to doing that thing we’re we think we are better than everyone else

But has completely stalled having an effective testing regim in airports and ports so visitors and returning citizens can be tested

I think it's more likely other European countries will be adding the UK to their ban travel list.

😂😂😂🤡

The global rhetoric of who can go where is counterproductive. Just stay in your country. Picking what nationalities may or may not enter is so fn juvenile. Seriously, just stay home. Especially Americans

It’s not like the Govt keeps track of people coming in and quarantining for 14 days. Doesn’t matter

Already 1 Jan 2021? 🙄 😃

When can we add the government to the UK population quarantine list. We have had enough of them.

No more weekend trips to Paris or the South of France villa for London's middle classes !

UK tough guy, flexing your muscles eh. 💪. Just remember we have the highest death toll in Europe...

Will the UK ever love foreign-language pop?Three summers ago, Despacito’s lilting Spanish lyrics dominated the UK charts, but since then nearly all pop hits have been in English. Is it just a language barrier – or a sign of a narrow culture? UK doesn’t even like foreign-language NHS doctors. I watch European TV and movies but the music isn’t for me. European dance music is fine but pop just isn’t for me. Joe le taxi.
