Would love to, but not until outdoor mask requirements at least are removed.

Bill Gates wants this to continue until next year so plenty more variants to go through until that is allowed

People will travel wherever they want to travel. In the US, the public has long ago stopped listening to the Biden admin, the CDC and Anthony Fauci. They have no clue what they’re talking about. One of my daughters just got back from Costa Rica where she met many Europeans, particularly French people. None of whom were rich or privileged. Stop envying rich people, it improves your life not at all. Go where you want to go.

From the very first moment the pandemic was announced there has been almost nothing but confused, contradictory and, at times, wholly incoherent messaging coming out of government.
There really are no words adequate to describe this, given the need for clarity.
I went from a supporter of the government to an opponent because of this incoherence.

There came a point when I could no longer believe the sowing of confusion was accidental.

I do now believe it is deliberate, and I think I understand the rationale. The purpose is to render the population docile, and – thus rendered – malleable.

I believe there to be a branch of behavioural psychology which has studied the effect of contradictory messaging of this kind, has studied the effects of the bewilderment that follows it, and has studied the extent to which subjects who are subjected to this kind of conditioning are less able to resist authority.

I believe the government has depended on this psychology, and has quite deliberately caused dismay, confusion and distress in order to make the process of controlling our behaviour easier than it would otherwise have been.

I believe this government to be reprehensible to a degree unimaginable only a couple of years ago.

Agreed. A new book that is out, ‘A State Of Fear: How The UK government weaponised fear during the COVID-19 pandemic’ by Laura Dodsworth is a most interesting read. She started writing this book a year ago! Scary stuff. This information needs to be widely disseminated. Only by having the courage to share what we discover, such as this information, will we ever regain our freedoms.

Unless an adult is legally termed mentally disabled, they should make their own choice as to where and when to travel.

The principle of FYTW on display. Whenever the proles ask “why” about something that does not add up, those four letters represent the all-purpose answer from the privileged class.

And as us Proles then reply, SNAFU, or even FUBAR, knowing we have been shafted and there is nothing we can do.

What happened to providing advice and guidance and letting people make their own decisions based on their own circumstances – oh that’s right it was totally forgotten about over a year ago. As we came out of the last lockdown Boris said he had faith in the commonsense of the British people then proceeded to do the exact opposite. Boris often says what he really feels, then crumbles when it starts to be criticised. Quite often his first instincts are right, but he lacks the courage of his own convictions.

Boris, that silly, glib, popinjay, has shown every single defect his silly Twit class carry. No Noble Warrior like his class traditionally was. – on top of the fact Covid broke him, my guess is getting close to death he found out he is actually a coward with massive false bravado, and this crushed him. He was Chamberlain dealing with H* tl er, Like Biden dealing with Xi, he was utterly the wrong man at the wrong time.

“Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man”
And so it was with Churchill, Nelson, Wellington, Henry V, but Boris strode on as Quisling instead.

“The principle of freedom under the law is that governments tell you what is legal and what isn’t and the rest is up to the people.”

Who makes up these stupid soundbites? Sure its legal to have unprotected sex with a person with AIDS, but the government, quite rightly, says they advise against it, advises steps to take to mitigate such actions, and why. ** That the covid response was the opposite of this – it made the sex illegal, and told you steps to mitigate covid which made it worse, and fined you if you did not fallow them as it made them illegal to not do.

The problem is this all is crazy, it is not AIDS, and it is not an intentional choice taken on risky behavior, like say sex is. COVID response is completely political, almost none of it has been about health, it may be hysteria, it certainly is about just ‘Doing Something’ to show the voters the elected are doing everything possible, it is absolutely for nefarious NWO reasons, it is certainly to put Trillions of $ into the hands of the ultra rich, and into the wealthy in general. It is to cause a huge recession/depression to Trickle UP the middle class savings into the pockets of the rich, it is to divide society into splintered and hostile groups, it is to destroy education, and it is to hurry up the whole ‘You Will Own Nothing And YOu Will Be Happy” as the Devos gang said through Charles Schawab.

Covid response is a war against the citizens, led by the Government. USA is 50 States which went from total lockdown to Zero lockdown. It is 100% known by studying them that lockdown did nothing to reduce covid, rather the opposite. Masks were 100% ‘Project Fear’. The covid response was merely to for ever change global finance, and my guess, to break the Middle Class and make all dependent on Government handouts, and so all clients of the State, and thus Owned by them.

You forgot to mention the health passports. Since the government is aggressively pushing and coercing people to get vaccinated it has to be for a reason. ITS NOT COVID! that much is obvious. Why the children? Clearly the government has an objective to have near 100% vaccinated. I can only think of two reason. One is bad and the other is evil.
The bad one is to have a health passport which morphs into a digital pass so that we are all tracked and traced wherever we go. No more popping down to the pub for pint. You will have get permission first!
The evil one is what the gene therapy does and turns the population into a nation of, essentially, junkies. Totally dependant on 2 or 3 “vaccinations” every year for life for what were relatively harmless viruses, earning pharma TRILLIONS annually. All because the first vaccine compromised their innate immune system and thus switched off everyone’s generic virus protection.

Frankly all this “Oh it’s confusing” is confected claptrap. If the £310 per person, ridiculous rigmarole and intrinsic risk are not a message that travel to Amber is not a good idea that is your own problem. If you want to stand in an immigration hall shine on you crazy diamond.
The press and the opposition look utterly pathetic. In the context of death across the world which we seem to have emerged from it is really petty to be moaning about holidays abroad.
To characterise the governments action as “reckless” is reckless in itself.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf and the fantastic Nic Cage “I lost my hand ” scene from moonstruck spring to mind.

It’s all media bollox. They come up with new scenarios to catch ministers out in interviews.
The RAG rules have been clear from the get go: you can only go on holiday to ‘green’ countries. As with a traffic light, you have to wait until ‘amber’ countries have been deemed safe. When they change to green, it’s safe to go.
Of course, as with drivers on the roads, there are travellers who will put their feet down at the first sight of an amber light!

I wonder whether the government’s sudden rush to declare it “wrong” to travel is fear of the total chaos that would be visited on LHR if travel resumed at significant levels.

The weakness of this interpretation is that it implies foresight
