The problem is that idiots don't understand this and there are a lot of idiots going around. Yep, with the situation changing by the second, Sturgeon is actually playing a blinder, and not in the sarcastic tone like above. Johnson giving constant definitive dates for stuff, then having to backtrack, is the reason there's such a backlash against him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let anyone visit Britain but if you're not from a reasonably protected country into the quarantine you go for a couple of weeks. Yeah this would be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Sturgeon resorting to populism. I wonder how the European Union will view measures from a country claiming it wants to rejoin and supports freedom of movement across our continent, which impede the rights of its citizens to that fundamental right. Pure hypocrisy after being hoodwinked by Sridhar's ilk. I hope Salmond takes her down. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intention of vaccinating is to get back to normal, champ Normal includes travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 8 minutes ago, WATTOO said: Like it or not, Holidays and travelling are top of most peoples want in life and now even more so, especially after the strain and stress people have been under for the past year. It's going to be very difficult to convince people to give up on their little bit of relaxation in the Sun and replace it with a wet weekend in Saltcoats !! Joking aside, I actually touched on this yesterday but if we're to ask people to "holiday at home", then we're going to need to get a better infrastructure in place, such as public transport that's fit for purpose, increased car parking spaces and road upgrades, we're also going to have to fast track planning permission for new Hotels, Restaurants & Bars, attractions etc and also look at completely overhauling existing licencing laws and relaxing many of the idiotic bye laws that are in place. Right now I'd bite your hand off for that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 PMQs specific question re targeted support for the travel sector. Response was basically no and the best support for the sector is getting folk vaccinated and getting the sector back up and running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrived the day they announced the corridor was closing so it was busy 1st week or so but soon got quieter but bars etc were only just closing as we left and it was natural season end anyway mid October. I felt the smaller towns and resorts seemed much livelier than Marmaris which seemed very quiet on my day trip in but I can't say I'm a Marmaris fan at the best of times. It was a sky dig (too sly obviously) about the parallels of people doing what they want but complaining about others doing the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong;.... So NS and JL spent all of lunchtime speaking about impending quarantine / travel restrictions, seemingly under the belief that this was going to affect ALL travellers into the UK. Now it turns out, not even two hours later that its only going to impact upon travellers from 22 countries on a 'Red List'. Communication between NS and BJ would on the face of it seem almost non-existent at the height of the biggest crisis facing us since WW2. No matter what you think of either of them, that surely can't be healthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pointing out that the demands of the UK population for holidays abroad will see that facilitated if anything that has gone before is an indicator. Was way to fly for me that !If able to travel I will travel, I'm in no way pro shutting borders. It seems my alliteration wasn't appreciated and taken as some kind of sneer. People have a myriad of reasons for non essential travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the correct answer for every sector whether that be hospitality, tourism, or entertainment. It's quite literally the point of the vaccine and why so much money was shovelled at speeding up development. NS is close to falling into the trap of allowing a tunnel visioned, non-elected professor to dictate political decisions with ramifications far outwith her area of expertise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
