self-isolate for 14 days and provide details of where they will be staying under the plans

That is not a quarantine. The plan will fail miserably and immediately.

Indeed; too little, too late from the incompetent Boris.

 

He and his master are one trick ponies, and they can't even get that right!

 Will those who were vociferous in their condemnation of Sturgeon's support for Dr Catherine Calderwood be equally vociferous here?

 

As most of them are prominent government and Brexit supporters, somehow I doubt it!

Lol, what’s with the brexit infatuation? Are ye still in denial?

It is a fact; those who condemned Sturgeon and Calderwood are vociferous Brexit supporters, and express that support at every opportunity.

 

So I suggest you direct your question to them.

Ok, you couldn’t answer me so I’ll bell Farage later. 

Jeez man, move on for Christ sake.

Self quarantine didn't go well in Thailand. Way too little, way too late.

 

56 deaths in thailand, over 30,000 in the uk, thailand did, and is doing, something right.

Yes, but the self quarantine didn't work so was soon changed to forced, government controlled quarantine.

That is what the poster was alluding to.

Who rescues migrants in the Channel?

Those picked up in the UK zone will be taken to an English port and those in the French zone to a port in France

 

24 January 2019 UK starts returning migrants to France to 'deter' Channel boat crossings

 

Still happening.

 

21 May 2020 Home Office deporting migrants who cross Channel in small boats

 

Under the EU's Dublin Regulation, we currently have the right to transfer asylum seekers to their country of first entry to the EU if we can show that they made a claim in that country or any other EU member if they spent an amount of time there rather than merely passing through. 

 

Of course, from 1st January 2021 we will no longer be bound by any EU regulations and neither will any EU country in regards to us; so we will lose this right.

 

Yet another Brexit disadvantage labelled 'project fear' by Cummings and his crew when it was brought up in 2016!

 

Why don’t they stay in France when they arrive from wherever? Is it the fact that the UK offers them an easier life with  more free handouts? Latest figures show that Britain has only returned 6% of those illegal immigrants in 2019.

The reason given by most when asked this is either that they can speak English, not French, that they have relatives living legally in the UK or both.

You believe that, obviously. If they also believe it, then like you they are wrong. Asylum support: What you'll get and Eligibility.

 

After their initial stay in a reception centre, very few get a house or flat to themselves and their family. Most end up in shared accommodation, seedy hotels or B&Bs. Some never leave the reception centre until they are deported. Types of accommodation.

 

Of course, to get anything they first have to turn themselves into the authorities and apply for asylum, which may be refused; otherwise they get nothing.

According to Sky News; but they have published no figures with which to support their claim.

Scandalous that France appear to now be facilitating illegal criminal immigration to the UK. Showing once again how untrustworthy they are and that their word means nothing.

Hmm, if only there was some sort of pan European organisation where you could be a member and sit down and discuss your common interests...

 

Anyway, I find it funny that a government that paints itself to be the representatives of the little englanders has failed to do exactly what they’ve always asked for - closing the borders.  

It's pointless and it involves spot checks to the persons phone to see if they are at home or not. Hello it's the border force, yes I'm at home...

Totally off topic post removed.

Got any insight why HMG didn't previously implement the OP decision, nor, similar to Australia, no travel from airport to final destination but enforced stay at local hotels etc.

The UK government claim that there was no point introducing it until the numbers were in decline. Where the logic is in that, I've no idea.

Born-to-rule Tory incompetency I think explains it pretty well.
 

Actually worrying about the welfare of their people is beyond the comprehension of this current mob.
