Concerned that British holidaymakers arriving back in the country may lie when submitting lateral flow test results, ministers are planning on requiring testing to be done during video calls with ‘health advisers’. The Mail has the story.
The Government is planning to replace the requirement for double-vaccinated travellers to take a PCR test on their return to Britain with a much cheaper lateral flow swab.
But the Health Secretary is said to be concerned that those taking the tests could lie about the results.
He is proposing travellers do their lateral flow test on video calls supervised by a health adviser from a private firm, the Times reported.
This is similar to the way some pre-departure tests which were scrapped last weekend were conducted.
No date has been set for the change but there is speculation among travel industry leaders that it will be around October 25th, the start of half term for many families. …
Airlines and tour operators have been hit hard during the pandemic, and have accused the Government of being too slow to relax and simplify the rules for international travel.

I for one am sick and tired of this ‘reclaiming our lost freedoms’ crap spouted by politicians like Hancock. They were not lost, they were taken away by this mendacious government. We should never forget or forgive that.
Hear, hear! Our freedom is our inalienable right – it’s our liberty that’s been removed. “Take your freedoms back” always irks me when it’s chanted at rallies – I never gave mine away.
Oh dear, ‘sick’ AND ‘tired: you must have a bad case of covid!
GFY and your testing Wancock.
“Despite this success ….”
FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed. I come to LS to get away from the lugenpresse…
before freedoms can be restored the population MUST adopt the bio security state… this is what is happening now people… get ready for it
nobody is getting out of this without a fight… this is the new normal they were prepping us for
Since the vaccines are clearly not the route out of this nightmare why are we celebrating that 6 million people have been conned into having an experimental jab that come Autumn may make them chronically sick or kill them?
https://videopress.com/v/GlfqskjO thats why
Who cares.
Sorry for the Kevin the Teenager response, but I really feel it’s all this deserves.
It feels like the politicians have lost their minds, the coercion and comments from them, especially Hancock are outrageous now. Maybe they see their plan falling apart
Do you really think that Handcock has a mind? His two degrees demonstrate a functional intelligence in the narrow field he studied, but outside of that he is as thick as 2 planks. To have a mind you need emotional intelligence and he has none of that; he is only concerned with keeping his job. In the group of incompetents we have in Government he and Gove are the two worst
If only.
I have a letter from NHS Scotland telling me that I have an appointment to be given the vaccine. I have no recollection of asking for this. Who is responsible for deciding whether I should have any form of medical treatment?
I had one letter and 5 texts, all ignored lol.
My plumber said he wasn’t keen on the idea but did it anyway. Probably speaking for 95% of UK population. God help us.
So at what point does Handjob say we would go back to normal if only those anti vaxxers would just take the experimental vaccine like the rest of us. Sorry, until then your life is going to suck until we forcibly inject them or relocate to this lovely new holiday camp called Treblinka. Being true democrats we’ll let the vaccinated decide the option by a vote lol.
It’s all gone the way I suspected it might to date and I fully expect to lose my job and livelihood in the not so distant future, swiftly followed by a cell and then possibly a firing squad or whatever method is cheapest and efficient.
We’re at the point where people have to choose between what is right and what is easy. I really don’t see many opting for the former, especially with that ever elusive carrot being dangled in front of them. If the worst should happen i’ll die happy in the knowledge I won’t be around for what comes next !
Not much faith left. Not going quietly however, that’s what keeps me going more than anything.
If they were so sure of themselves they would lock all us non vaxxed in a secure compound, like a leper colony, until we all give each other the Covid from which 99%+ will emerge unscathed. Sorted.
NC – I share your feelings on the blame being gradually shifted onto those who won’t take the vaccine. I have been fully expecting this and suspect it won’t be long before comments turn to “regrettably the slower than expected vaccine take up is going to mean that we will have to remain cautious and will impact the speed at which we lift restrictions”. With ‘cases’ and deaths now plummeting, to the point where covid has virtually disappeared, the search for new excuses is undoubtedly now a matter of priority. The new requirement for mass testing openly reflects their desperation to maintain high case numbers and public fear levels. Putting the blame on the ‘anti-vaxxers’ is an easy score as they know they will get the full support of those who have had the jab and who already view the unvaccinated with suspicion and open disdain. I have no intention of taking the vaccine but am uneasily aware of the unpleasant pressure which I will face over the coming months. Sadly, it has already started from within my own family.
“Britain has passed another milestone in its vaccine rollout with six million people now fully vaccinated against Covid. Almost 32 million have also received their first dose. Sky News has the story.”
How many people have been killed by the vaccine?
That would be a good piece of investigative journalism.
32 million genetically modified Brits.
I wonder how many of them understand this fact? 0.03% of them?
