As usual, they cock up the message...

"We're closed."

"But if you do come, get a test and isolate."

Muchly ambiguous!

I'm guessing we're all in the same boat.

Better than just come and do as you like I suppose. Might stop those with the disease coming in and dissuade others which can only be a good thing.

get a test and isolate.

Big potential Loop hole here, who is going to check to see Isolation is actually being adhered to?

Will the illegals need to have a test before jumping in the dinghy to cross the channel?

Well, they say they are going to be a lot tougher on checking up. They should ask for people to volunteer to do that in their area. I’d volunteer.

Indeed

In 1st lockdown my nephew and girlfriend came back from Mexico.
Landed at Heathrow, got public transport back to uni town....Glasgow, then following day went out to get food.

As it happens Mexico then had far fewer cases, but it's the principal

In this Era, checking is not all that difficult.

Everyone coming in should have to have there mobile "Tagged" so it can be followed, the track and trace could be programmed to auto follow the device.

That is as long as track and trace works??

What happens if they leave their phone at the address they claim to be staying at and go out?

staying at and go out

Auto calls made by a computer, if not answered BANG, you are caught, simple, or just too simple for the government to organise??

South Korea had a track and trace operation using a similar technology, it is not rocket science?

South Korea has a reliable network.........

What about if they got their mum or dad to answer?

You just simply divert your calls to a burner phone

Defeating these systems really is not rocket science
