Hi
Not able to understand why quarantine isn't being implemented for French and UK travellers?
I googled the question but only got the facts there is a reciprocal agreement not to quarantine but no explanation as to why ❓
If any county is safe to allow in I'd have thought it would be Germany.
So please does anyone know why we aren't quarantining french.
Cheers Mike
Keep safe peeps

I think it was the original plan but Macron phoned Boris and had a whinge and they changed it

Will be a bugger to enforce when all and sundry attempt to transit through France to come here. Our customs are not what you'd describe as on the ball.
Maybe they assume the french hate us so much they just won't come

would it be the French coming here though? I'm not far from tilbury docks, loads of very tanned French turning up there..

Just because they've been living in a French refugee camp doesn't make them French

They've said it's about 'management of a common border'.
Not sure why it's only France when Belgium, Netherlands - even Denmark, Norway and Iceland could argue that same point. Maybe proximity comes into it? I'm guessing the ROI don't have a quarantine period?
It can only be finance based as there's no logical reason for it other than that

I thought the EU had blocked this because it's admit one country admit all policy 🤷🏼♂️

could be - I've not heard anything since that initial announcement but they did say there'd be further discussions and you can see the EU point in that case

Don't suppose Stanley Johnson applying for French citizenship has anything to do with it...

Amazing , the great minds on here & the media world can't give a reason why the decision was made, I understand the rhetoric & the facts quarantine is being ( or not) implimeneted but no rhyme or reason the decision was made in the first instance.
If anyone can explain "why the decision was made I would be greatful"
Cheers
Mike

i gave it my best shot Mike - thing is, if the people who made the decision choose not to give us an explanation or any sense of rhyme or reason then it leaves us all equally in the dark...
maybe it comes from the same collection of brainstorm 'post-its' as the 2m distance, and 100,000 tests...

Forgive me but I have just looked at the evil 😈 mail online and they have an article stating the government have now decided to place French travellers in quarantine, but still no explanation as to why the decision was ever made in the first place.
I know I'm a dog 🐶 with a bone 🍖 now
I also appreciate wrong decisions can be made, but if you can relationalise why you took the decision that's fine with me.
But as yet its not clear why it was decided.
I'm glad the decision has been reversed.

There is an article in the Express and Star
The Prime Minister's official spokesman told reporters: “If you look at what was actually said in the joint statement on Sunday night, it said no quarantine measures apply to France at this stage and the key words in that sentence are
‘at this stage'.
Seems no one knows anything for sure these days, i cant work out if its the politicians or journalists.

Its probably both, politicians on both sides twisting, sampling and distorting the facts and the media are worse!

It's down to a lack leadership which leads too a lack of transparency.

Yes even though things are up in the air Macron should pull his finger out and make a decision regardless of the R numbers in his and other countries

Maybe they were exploring the option of a "travel bubble" similar to the Baltic states.
