I hate Johnson. But today I am hating MerCow too. What brass neck does she have to swan about Cornwall last week and break all the protocols like the other numb nuts and today lobby to ban British people from the EU. What a fucking cunt (sorry) every day of this nightmare is just ridiculous move after ridiculous move. I have a U.K. and an EU passport and still can’t fucking live a free life after doing nothing wrong. While this mob let the dinghy divers and refugees do what they please where they please. Where is the riot ? The world wanted to riot over much less important things than personal Liberty. Ahhhhhhhh. And I have been trying to
Ring BA for two weeks now about my travel plans and every single time I get told how busy they are and then they drop my call. Pathetic all of them. Pathetic

Covid gives Meerkat a bee-yooo-tiful opportunity to work off some spite over Brexit. Bear in mind that most EU bills were paid by Germany and Britain as net contributors. Now it’s only Germany.

As is always the case, their high level arguments shit on the lives of “normal” people. I completely see this current policy is spite for not being in the EU. But I can’t see how Johnson gets a free pass on the Indian Variant and she gets a free pass on ruining lives of not just U.K. citizens but EU ones too. I feel like running them all over with a tank and reversing over them to make sure they are dead.

A reward to the vaxxtards: ten days of your holiday (if you’re very lucky) go by, and on the eleventh they switch your destination back to amber and you spend 36 hours in hell, jamming sticks up your nose and fighting to get home in time so’s they don’t bang you up when you get there.
Oh, what jolly fun. Worth risking death for.

What actually happens if you don’t quarantine from a Red list country, i.e. you refuse to pay it (or can’t) – would they take you to court? would they be able to imprison you? I think the legality would fall apart in court given it wasn’t even passed in Parliament properly

It’s grotesque. They are making it up as they go along. And expecting us to take any of it seriously? These people are properly possessed. Though whether simply very stupid or actively conniving for a new Orwellian future is the key question. For a long time, I presumed the former, stupid always a more likely explanation than sinister, which can be very hard to maintain. I am seriously wondering now if some vast new future of active suppression is being attempted, freedoms deliberately denied, state powers impersonally imposed, the whole amounting to a despotic inversion of the liberties any free-born man or woman knew as a birth-right. I am still inclined to believe that stupid is the more likely explanation. If I am wrong, on the other hand, I suspect I am far from alone in asserting that I will do whatever I can to resist what would by then have become a new and very nasty tyranny.

I don’t know but so many of the conspiracy theories are now becoming conspiracy fact, that I’m starting to believe they were right all along. I’m beyond angry now. I’ve never bought into the fear – I’m like the Amish guy who when asked why there was no Covid cases amongst them, replied “we don’t watch television” – Build Back Better is a truly appalling idea and I don’t want to survive to see it anyway, and the thing that frightens me is how easily the majority of people have been duped.

“And expecting us to take any of it seriously?”

How can you not take it seriously? The Covid tests at the airport (or elsewhere) before flying is perhaps the biggest obstruction. It is very difficult to match the test, perhaps 3 or 2 days before a flight, and then make that flight. There is no guarantee that the private testing company, such as Collinson at Heathrow, will even have your results ready on time. What do you do between taking the test and waiting 3 or 2 days before the flight – just hang around around the airport or the streets of London/Manchester?

And if the test result is ‘inconclusive’ or ‘positive’ then what? These Covid tests between countries are the biggest block to free travel. As has been pointed out, now that the virus is (allegedly, as it’s all fake anyway) all around Europe, what’s the point of trying to limit its distribution any more?
Why not have road blocks all around Bolton, or stop people from travelling from Cornwall now that Cornwall has ‘gone red’?

Here are reviews about Collinson if you want to see what you’re up against. And, hey, if your Passport number / name is on someone’s ‘black list’ then they may just give you a ‘positive’ result just as a punishment for having said the wrong thing somewhere:

Here’s one typical reply to a complaint:

“Hi Helen, thanks for the review and I’m disappointed to hear about your experience. I have noted your comments regarding your booking journey and this will be shared with the rest of the team. Keep safe, Amy”

Why not just say “Thanks for your money you mug, now fuck off.” If you go to these testing stations and see the type of people working there, your heart sinks straight away. You can smell the con.
Funny how NHS ‘negative’ results aren’t good enough to be able to be used to leave the country – no, it has to be a private profiteering company, doesn’t it? And are they giving backhanders to the people who gave them the permits to operate?

To put it bluntly … this government is fucking with you.

These are little psychological games and tricks to mess with your mind and reduce you to gibbering wreck who doesn’t know whether their coming or going and will be pleased for even the tiniest morsel – some tiny glimmer of hope that there will some return to normality once again … but it never quite gets back to normal does it? There is always a catch somewhere – a price to be paid for your normal life back again.

This government is using age old psychological abuse techniques to control people – isolate people and you can control them – once you control them then they will do anything for you – offer them the promise of a return back to normal in return for their total compliance and they will gladly comply … only for those promises to be broken time and time again by the abuser who will never let you go because they enjoy the power they have over you..

This is a sick and twisted government.

Don’t worry, the inevitable adverse reactions will be blamed on new, imaginary variants of covid and therefore all air travel will be suspended again to keep us ‘safe’……

I’m on a Greek island seeing my family, sorting out my little house here, and struggling with post Brexit bureaucracy. Thanks to the clown Bojo I’m near to losing my residency as I haven’t been able to get here to do so and therefore haven’t spent the required time in Greece. If I lose the residency, I won’t get it back now that the UK has left the EU as I won’t qualify. I say this just to point out that travelling isn’t all about holidays – and even if it was, there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m fed up of hearing folk saying “holidays don’t matter, we’re in the middle of a dreadful pandemic” (yes they do, and no we aren’t). They matter to those who will lose their jobs, they matter to pilots who have paid thousands of ££ for their training and are now delivering for Amazon and may lose their pilots licences, they matter to the lovely people of this island who rely on tourism to feed their families. To say I loathe this government is an understatement. My mental health is shot to pieces. If the appalling smarmy Hancock comes anywhere near me, I won’t be responsible for my actions. This island has zero Covid cases so why isn’t it Green listed? The system is utter tripe.

We are in a similar position having a canal boat in England but we live in Finland and it’s the Covid tests that are making travel not impossible but so very risky and difficult – difficult to match Covid tests and times, and if a ‘positive’ result is thrown up – what then? Also the expense of the tests.

This is deliberate and nothing to do with a virus. If it was to do with a virus, why not have free testing stations near your home or at the airports? Why is it always private companies with staff that just smirk at you as they know they are fleecing you. The whole thing is a gigantic con.

It looks as if this is not going to stop anytime soon – if ever. Here we have the boot stamping on our faces forever.

It looks as if we will have to sell our boat… we had intended keeping it and going round the English waterways for another 5 years or so, before selling it, but it looks as if we are trapped, and it’s not going to be easy to sell it if we can’t get to England. My partner tells me there must be thousands of other people in this kind of situation, Brits who can’t get to their properties abroad.

I would ask why people aren’t angrier – but, as we see, it’s all masks and fear of ‘The Virus’ (that doesn’t even exist) and vaccinations. So many people have turned into gibbering jellyfishes.

Yes, I have 5 friends who are unable to get to their properties on this Greek island from the U.K. 3 of those friends rely on holiday rentals to pay for their properties, which they were planning on living in come retirement. They cannot get to the properties to do maintenance, open up for rentals, anything, as they still work in the U.K. and cannot get the time off to quarantine. They aren’t wealthy, this is just the way they chose to spend their retirement monies, looking on it as an investment and a place to live in retirement. It took me many cancelled flights and a lot of persistence to get here, losing a lot of money in the process. Flights disappear before your eyes just as you are about to book them, or you book one and then get a cancellation email 3 hours later (I’m looking at you British Airways). This government don’t care. They are perfectly happy raking in £££ with their fingers in many pies such as testing, genome sequencing (Hancock) and suchlike. Yet others like myself and my friends, who have saved all our working lives to fund our dreams abroad and to support ourselves, just get trodden on. I loathe the government.

It makes my blood boil Julian. As do people who say virtuously “oh we aren’t going abroad this year, we’re going to keep the islanders safe by not going.”. Safe?! How safe is it when you don’t know how you will feed your family come winter because of the lack of visitors? Greece don’t have a furlough scheme. These same virtue signallers will expect their favourite taverna to still be there next year or the year after, with low prices. Well, it won’t be. Sorry, I know I ranting, but I’m at ground zero here and can see the harm done to these lovely people. My cost of many cancelled flights and hotels at various airports just to get here, pales into insignificance. Plus people deserve holidays. They have been screwed over by this government for months, stamped on underfoot, been led on a dance of fear and exhaustion – they need their time in the sunshine, relaxing. Now Shapps is muttering about allowing the jabbed to return without quarantine “but not for some weeks because . . . you know . . . we have to be careful”. It’s cr*p. They’ll find a reason not to do it once all the sheep are vaccinated.

For anyone who has reasons to travel to and from those countries, I am glad for them that it is now a little bit easier.

But in general, until all restrictions are lifted and there is no “list” of any kind, I am not impressed. These lists are just another part of lockdown and the corona madness.
