MailOnline has a harrowing story about a woman who discovered Mexico has been placed on the red list in mid-air as she was flying to Mexico City yesterday. The only way for her to avoid quarantining for 10 days on her return – and the £1,750 cost of doing so – would be to catch the next flight home. Unfortunately, the cheapest one before Sunday, when Mexico goes on the red list, is £6,878.
Furious British holidaymakers flying to Mexico have revealed how they found out that the country was being moved onto the red list mid-air.
From 4am on Sunday, people returning to the UK from Mexico will have to stay in isolation in a hotel for 10 days.
However, the Government has been slammed for giving only three days’ notice of the change, with the only direct flight from Mexico City to London before Sunday on sale for a staggering £6,878.
Travel agency CEO Paul Charles tweeted after the announcement: “Pity poor #UK travellers in #Mexico – some 5/6,000 who have to somehow get back before hotel quarantine kicks in on Sunday. Certainly not enough seat capacity.”
And holidaymakers have revealed how they found out about Mexico going red at the very last minute.
Claire, 30, from south London, said: “I had access to the Wifi so I found out in mid air.
“I just wanted to grab the tannoy and tell everyone because I could see all these families looking forward to their holiday and it was obvious they didn’t know.
“It’s crazy the lack of notice. I had no inkling Mexico was about to go on the red list.”
Another tweeted: “Landing in Mexico to find out it’s been added to the red list whilst I was up in the air, has got to be one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced.”
Father-of-two David Hing, 40, arrived in Mexico with his wife and children aged four and seven on July 31. They were supposed to stay until August 21 – five days before the travel list is looked at again.
Mr Hing told MailOnline: “We knew the risks and while at the moment it seems like a bad dream and is very stressful and I’ve been up all night looking at alternative options, we are just going to try to enjoy the holiday.
“It broke my heart when my two little ones said they wanted to stay on holiday and would lend us money if we needed it.
“The notice period doesn’t really give long enough to make changes especially when it’s hard to get through and talk to anyone at the airlines.
“The images of the food and hotels do not seem like they are worth the cost so that’s why we are going to try and fly back somewhere else first. I feel sorry for the people who were already on the flight from the U.K. and hope they can make alternative arrangements.”
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: No holiday is safe, according to MailOnline. Tens of thousands of people started making arrangements to go to France today, after its removal from the ‘amber-plus’ list, but Grant Shapps has warned it could go back on the red list in just three weeks.

Who gives a toss about a few dozen people’s holiday plans being upset?
The government is planning to vaccinate SIXTEEN to EIGHTEEN year olds, without their parents’ knowledge against a virus which is no threat to them, using a “vaccine” which has killed 1 in 31,000 people who have had it in the UK.
That should be the top story, the bottom story, and the story in the middle.
I think you might find that visiting Mexico has far bigger dangers than catching a cold.

Good interview with Anna, last night, on Unity News Network (on DLive)
https://dlive.tv/p/unitynews+uTC_R5Gng
All these lawyers taking action? It seems they are completely ignored by the judiciary. I’ve yet to hear of a single meaningful success.
Well actually I do because people (including you) have a perfect right to go on holiday without having to put up with all this lockdown hysteria.
I’m less sure about your vaccination point but if over 16s can have sex with all the risk that involves then I suppose they can make the choice about vaccination themselves.
Your sex analogy is nonsense. But parental consent to vaccines for the 16+ group isn’t the issue. In fact, it’s highly probable that a majority of parents would pressurize their offspring into having the snake oil.
There’s also the issue of informed consent (which obviously applies to all age groups). The one-sided view being put out by government and the NHS cannot result in informed consent – that can only happen if people go out and research it for themselves, including the risks of side effects and the actual risk which their demographic has from the virus itself.
Correct. It is one-sided thus there is no possibility of informed consent at present. This Canadian link came to light today (under a different article) which is quite useful: https://ocla.ca/a-letter-to-the-unvaccinated/
I guess that would translate to vigorously and intelligently researched informed refusal.
Sex is natural these still experimental products are not. Sex is a choice to coerce someone to have sex is rape. Young people are being coerced by the Government into taking this experimental product, so the Government is effectively raping the bodies of our young,
Actually, you’re a bit hasty there with the dismissive tone there. Mexico’s el Presidente recently told the CDC and Big Pharma that they can shove their vaccines where the sun don’t shine as they’re coping OK with Ivermectin, thank you very much. This Red list downgrade is a sure sign that all this oppression is coordinated and there is a hit list for those countries that don’t toe the line.
Interesting, I did not know that. Thank you.
Yes, Mexico one of a literal handful of countries that doesn’t require vaxx or test for entry.
I didn’t know that either, thank you.
How many others don’t know it?
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there. Has Mexico’s President been feeling suicidal of late?
Indeed. One fears for his life. He’ll be a target for one of the drug cartels, like Pfizer or Moderna.
“Who gives a toss about a few dozen people’s holiday plans being upset?”
I do rad.
Stories like this are grist to the mill for us lockdown sceptics as this will enrage not just the unfortunate travellers caught out by this nonsense but also the hundreds of thousands of would be travellers who don’t want to suffer the same fate. Hopefully, bit by bit, they’ll start to wake up as to what’s happening and say enough is enough and join our ranks in protest.
It’s a fair point. I suppose as long as people are getting pissed off with the government and starting to question the narrative and motives it doesn’t matter if it’s happening for the wrong reasons.
Some person or persons must have made this decision. I suggest that all those who have been inconvenienced find out who exactly these people are, and sort them out. This is blatant piss-taking and bugger all to do with a ‘virus’.
All people aged 16 or over are considered to have capacity to make their own decisions over medical treatment, mental capacity act 2005. Any decision made by a person aged 16+, irrespective of whether that decision is thought to be in the person’s best interest or not, it should be followed, although legally a 16/17 year old are children under the children act. A 16 year old can obtain the contraceptive pill or the morning after pill without parental consent. The contraceptive pill increases the risk of DVT, which I doubt is pointed out when it is prescribed. If you have any regular medication from your GP, are you told the possible side effects? If you looked in the BNF for side effects you wouldn’t take any medication, even over the counter preparations.
Those who consent to this, deserve what they get.
I do not consent.
I’ll still get the totalitarian treatment if I were so foolish as to travel abroad atm. I’d just have a better justification for my righteous outrage.
‘I do not consent.‘
That’s them stopped then.
Just found out Costa are asking you show them confidential medical info in order to enter their stores.
Just deleted their app, hope you do too.
This is in Ireland i think.
No its also here in Essex. Our cleaner was round earlier and was told she was refused entry as she is unvaxxed…no words
I apologise…my wife says she just heard it was happening in some stores and hadnt actually happned to her personally. Probably only a matter of time anyway though…
Some are operated as franchise, so I guess the franchisee has some degree of authority to make their own decision in this area?
The little bit of power over a personal fiefdom that drives so many to become small business men and women.
Great way to destroy any remaining high streets and shopping malls.
Interesting business model. Presumably they’re not expecting to be in business in 2030 so don’t need the custom of those who are the only likely market because they have not taken what shows disturbing signs of being a terminator jab.
And those (the majority of their customers?) with the auto imprisonment app are likely to be sent into isolation at any moment. Bye bye customer for at least 10 days when they might get pinged again if someone else in the street has pinged or ponged, dinged or donged or whatever maybe ‘forever’. Jeez!
If you’ve got shares in any of these complicit idiotic organisations, better unload them sooner rather than later.
Once a profitable part of Whitbread, and now sold to the well-known purveyor of health drinks, Coca-Cola.
I think that the word “crap” is inextricably linked to the name “Costa”.
The coffee there is crap anyway…its boiled to hell and seems to take about 1hr before its supposedly drinkable. Stores also always smell with crap all over the floor and terrible service. Hopefully such a decision will speed up their demise
Well, Costa have taken over many of the old WRVS cafes in uk hospitals and keep popping up on train station platforms too. It’s likely a move to protect their cosy commercial interests, and I wonder if the hozzies have demanded it.
I’ve been told, but not corroborated that any unvaxxed french will be unable to leavr their homes from beginning of October.
Told by whom?
Costa in Kidderminster (2 stores) is perfectly OK with normal people ie: Maskless/non sanitized/non social distanced.
Really shit coffee, so blessing in disguise.
Do they also refuse people who wisely don’t have this random but instant imprisonment app?
I really can’t understand why anyone would install such a disgusting thing tbh.
Maybe I’m just stupid.
As I had 2 holidays cancelled last year, I won’t be planning any trips abroad in a hurry. As far as I’m concerned the foreign travel industry is at best moribund if not dead. Why would anybody believe or trust politicians when they can change their tiny little minds at the drop of a hat.

Haha what a joke. Just saw that the price of imprisonment goes up to £2285 on the 12th Aug too. I’d be tempted to just stay over there and not come back to this hellhole.
There are quite a number of hotels in and around London which aren’t ratholes and cost rather less for 10 days, even if food (edible stuff, not quarantine fare) has also to be paid for.
I think that the £2285 over 10 days probably breaks down to about £200 for the room and the hotel, about the same for the slop, and the rest is security guards and bunts for the hotel, and the government eminences grises. Not sure if a stick or two up the snout and down the epiglottis is included in aforesaid Shapps Ransom.
The whole forced quarantine of healthy people thing sickens me. I don’t understand how anyone has decided that this is ok other than they just assume it will only happen to other people.
It is merely to “discourage the others”. Why has Boris not been punished for letting all those Indians in a few months ago? It’s OK for him to let in billions of viruses?
What would happen if you just refused to pay? They can’t send you back
I thought the ‘quarantine rat hole’ had to be paid for in advance – no proof, and you don’t get on the plane.
Hmm probably yes
‘Enforcement’ by gangs of cowardly, anti-social thugs in hi-vis, that is what would happen.
Have you seen the video of the woman in New Zealand who was quarantined on return to that country? She refused to fill in some form or another or refused consent to some procedure or another, as was her inalienable right, and was placed in what was effectively solitary confinement, without food. Her quarantine period was extended in addition, and when, upon her release, she talked to staff and security at the hotel, very few knew she was there, although some had heard rumours.
That’s what will happen if you value liberty and personal autonomy.
You don’t understand ‘how’ (presumably you mean why)? Should you be voting?
‘There are quite a number of hotels in and around London which aren’t ratholes … ‘
Those are for
illegalimmigrantsbogusasylum seekers.Yet these travellers REFUSE to see they are being manipulated. How many chances do you need to know you’re being controlled or abused?
Can they not circumvent the rules by flying to a green list country before returning to the U.K. That’s what I’d do.
right because you clearly won’t have to declare where you’ve been for the past 2 weeks.
Not if you fly in fro the USA.
You could try if your passport hasn’t been inconveniently stamped along the way but do border controls screens not show where you flew out to? Might be a bit hard to explain why you flew to mexico if you were staying 2 weeks in the US.
I’m often asked where I’ve been when returning so I presume they’re checking against something.
They haven’t got a clue where you’ve been, other than the stamps. The screen is a standalone database that indicates whether you (or precisely someone with your name and dob) is wanted for terrorism, Interpol, people trafficking, deportation etc
It also checks your passport number (and visa number if applicable) to check it’s not been withdrawn or stolen.
Obviously you identify as staying in a green-list country for the past two weeks.
Or perhaps wear a EUFA lanyard while walking past Border Farce.
silly me, I should have realised that.
If they spend I think 10 days in a non-red list country beforehand then yes its possible. Maybe they could sneak across the border into the US…
How would anyone in U.K. know where you’ve been. If you fly in from the USA no one knows how long you’ve been there.
I don’t think you’d have to sneak across the boarder, just cross and the Biden Administration will fly you to which ever city you fancy.
Yes but you need to stay for 10 days
I must confess I find it surprising that Boris is allowing himself to be manipulated in this way by is SAGE advisors. Every time he places a country on the naughty step he is enraging thousands of his voters. To what end? All variants of Covid will make there way here sooner or later and there is nothing that tinkering with the rules can do to prevent it.
Whoops – should rea ‘make their way’.
He is an extremely stupid, cowardly worm and highly malevolent.
If the vaccines work, or even if they don’t, why bother with any further regulations? Micromanagement sows seeds of control that sprout later.
Poor old ‘pressurized’ Bowis!
SAGE have been pretty quiet lately. While they’ve been a disgrace, it’s the politicians who are making most of the running now on pushing vaxxes, vaxx passports and travel restrictions. It’s all politics. “Boris” is the Big Man.
To what end? God knows. Drunk on power, stark raving mad, pursuing a New World Order, you name it. Whatever it is, it’s bad.
Why should he care what happens? What are “his voters” going to do? They’ve done nothing so far. He’s been put in power by higher forces, and must do what they say. For this he gets oodles of money. Someone has to pay for those nappies!
Anyway, Nature abhors a vacuum – does he have a new mistress already?
This was purposefully done by Kim Jong Johnson to show who is boss.
He is a totalitarian bag of shite.
What did bags of shite ever do to deserve such slander?
He is a totalitarian bag of shite, unlike ordinary bags of shite.
I’m entirely sympathetic to the victims. But why on earth would you arrange a holiday like this when this government of charlatans are likely to pull exactly this sort of stunt? It shows a level of no-think that is hard to credit.
Mexico is one of literally a handful of countries in the world that doesn’t require vaxx or test for entry. If I didn’t have kids in the UK, me and the Mrs would have been tempted to bugger off there for a few months. I suppose that’s not really a holiday as such.
Oh that’s interesting Julian. Are there any countries? Still requires working out how to avoid testing on return but it’s a start…
Costa Rica was another one, and I think Albania and North Macedonia.
Thanks! Costa Rica has been on my bucket list for a while – zip wires and sloths! But I was a bit worried about leeches in the rainforest…funny the things travellers used to worry about! Not sure that bloodsucking worms take notice of social distancing or masks but at least their anticoagulants might help people with their blood clots
Not necessarily holidays, people travel for all kinds of reasons.
Agreed. But the focus was on holidays.
Posted pretty much the same. All that grief for a week in the sun- even if you make it back without having to quarantine. I do feel for them but…Stark raving mad the lot of them.
Its being deliberately orchestrated to deter others, as is everything from this pernicious load of globalist dross
How to protest in your quarantine Hotel Hell. Set the fire alarms off.
Another brilliant psyop from the terrorist regime in charge.
The message? You can be travelling virtually anywhere in the world, we can hand you a bill for several pounds, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
How to make foreign travel as unattractive as possible for the majority.
THOUSAND pounds!
There is a lot you can do about it when you get back. These people deserve a taste of their own medicine.
Maybe Mexico isn’t too popular with the rulers of the world at the moment – I believe that both their President and Chief Health bod both recently questioned the vaccine “science”.
Tut tut, can’t break ranks can we.
No they have to March in Lockstep or else pay the price to the Globalist Elite scum that rule us all now. The fat pig dictator is just a puppet in their hands.
I have sympathy for those affected like this, but you need to ask the question – what do you expect when your government has done so much to destroy our liberties? This is just one more piece of dictatorial nonsense in eighteen months of relentless authoritarianism. The time to protest about what the government has done was last year.
I was thinking of Mexico if France fell through, simply because no need to partake in the stupid testing exercise to get there.
That’s probably why it has been put on the red list, can’t have those Jabby Dodgers going on holiday.
This is exactly why I’m not travelling or holidaying anywhere until this nonsense has dies down. Who wants to spend hours trying to get on a plane without really knowing what’s going to happen at the other end, then spend a week or two anxiously glued to the news to find out whether you’ve suddenly got to find a flight home along with thousands of others, then assuming all goes well still have to pay a fortune for tests? I genuinely sympathise with these people because it must be a nightmare, but is it really worth all this grief just to go on holiday? You’d have to be stark raving mad.
Shapps it appears is the new Matt Hancock a bumped up idiot despot who revels in the pleasure of causing unhappiness and distress. I hope he experiences at least a similar fall from grace as that of Wancock
Stop complying. Stop moaning. Start fighting. Don’t ever wear masks. “Exempt”. I always insist (politely) on others removing their masks for me (Hard of hearing) – they have to by law. See what’s happening in Australia. It’s coming here soon if we don’t stop it now. Don’t ever stop using problematic stores, services or businesses. Use them more often! Any problems – Complain directly to the manager in person (maskless of course) – then send letters to head office – don’t give in to negativity. FIGHT. BACK. BETTER. All the resources you need: https://www.LCAHub.org/
Yes britain followed the orders of their master and changed Mexico to a red country with No explanation. Mexico is using ivermectin with great success. Also their president stated he would not vaccinate children
. A Covid hero. He will now be punished for his decision. They are making sure of that. I would go to Mexico in a heartbeat
So when is all this “Rage” going to be pointed at the perpetrators of all the Sh1t FFS?
