That said, no Government is ever going to say 'D'ya know what, fuck it, let's just lift all travel restrictions'. They have to be seen to be doing the right thing or at least attempting something. The vaccination programme has helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've surmised previously, it's a character trait that must be injected the day A Normalperson becomes A Politician - along with the triggering of the self-preservation, defending the indefensible and the ability to unabashedly lie genes.

Entropy Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 35 minutes ago, pongo said: Brexit has taken away my EU Citizenship. I wasn't even given a vote. From 2022 we will effectively likely need to apply for visas to visit EU countries. And we can no longer work there without restriction. Thanks to those who supported Brexit we have lost our rights and freedoms. Yes I also believe in free enterprise, free competition and the free movement of capital including labour. And I don't care where you were born - or any of that birthright nonsense. Your problem is that you know very little about the EU; I guess you never lived in any of those countries for an extended period of time. If you had any experience of living or doing business there, if you knew what they really are, you would not be concerned about the possibility of losing any freedom by getting rid of their interference in our affairs. For the avoidance of doubt, I talk as one who doesn't give a damn about ANY flag; I am no British nationalist or whatever other type of nationalist. Freedom and civil rights is precisely what I care about. We lost nothing by getting rid of the EU. The Swiss are perhaps the most open country of Europe (25% of their resident are not Swiss passport holders) and they are not in the EU or have any interest in joining it. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Banker said: It’s being reviewed, here’s a report on Guernsey plan https://guernseypress.com/news/2021/03/27/cautious-hopes-for-travel-to-safer-areas/ The report seems to suggest that they will vary the restrictions placed upon people travelling there from the UK depending on which part of the UK they have been to. They are hoping Aurigny will switch to flying to Bristol or Exeter rather than Southampton because the Southwest has less than 30 cases per 100,000 which is there cut off for travellers having to isolate. Southeast UK is above their cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get fucking vaccinated folks. The ONLY way all this shit stops is with massive take up everywhere. Some people I thought were friends aren't going to have it. They can FUCK OFF Governments, not just ours, are going to be scared of going back into lockdown or anything close, going to need huge numbers with some protection. We here and the UK are getting really close. Idiots (often the same who are most opposed to any restrictions at all) will slow us down. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arrested and sentenced 3 people for meeting up in a flat in Ramsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main risk when wearing a mask is touching it with infected hands. So if you are out going to multiple places, the safest thing to do is keep your mask on and not touch it. I don’t know why people are so interested in people wearing masks in cars on their own though? It seems to fascinate lots of people. I couldn’t give a shit.
