Banker Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Cambon said: No they are not. Stop it! A few thousand people, mainly family and friends visiting Jersey for the weekend does not save their tourism industry. I am not defending the pathetic way our government is acting right now. Quite the opposite, but the C.I.s are desperate for tourists. We are not. Our biggest problem is our lord and masters have decided that the virus is having a holiday and sonare taking two weeks off, when in reality, the uk is about to enter wave four a bit early (not expectated until winter / spring next year). However, the worst and therefore seed areas are Northwest where the boat goes , and Hounslow where Heathrow is. Think about it. Lockdown 4 in August? WTF are you on about, Jersey are getting loads of tourists. Jet2 are putting on 11 flights a week from multiple airports, easyJet & BA are increasing capacity & routes . The IOM is becoming a backwater & hospitality is being decimated & coffee & cakes won’t save anyone despite what you think! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/jet2-joy-latest-jersey-travel-20688166.amp Edited May 29, 2021 by Banker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanShimmin Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If the border isn't fully open on June 18th then expect protests. The population has been docile thus far. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been regular predictions of riots on the streets in this thread if people don't get precisely their own way. Along with some demands that other (younger, fitter) people go out and do their rioting for them. And yet the streets remain un-flooded with blood. Funny that.

Funny that. the biggest way to protest is to not spend one penny outside normal living expenses on any businesses MHK's have or any relationship to, Howie and the clowns in tourism think we are all going to spend our hoarded fortunes on staycations. They are fucking imbeciles and its getting a bit beyond a joke. From the BBC today "There are 870 coronavirus patients in hospital in the UK, latest government figures show, compared to the peak of 39,249 in January." Hardly sounds like a fucking 4th wave apocalypse does it. Can you tell i'm a bit pissed off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest will be mainly family and a few tourists. Unlike here, Jersey still has loads of hotels and a thriving tourist industry. However, if you go there as a tourist, you still run the risk of testing positive and being stuck there. Fine for returning locals, not for tourists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
