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...
