Whatās āas often as he canā?
Presumably itās not daily, or even weekly.
Which sort of means the idea that he ālivesā in Belgium rather than Ireland is moot.
From what you say it strongly appears he actually lives in Dublin and likes to get back to Brussels an odd time to visit his mot.
Depends what you mean by commuting, doesnāt it? It sure doesnāt sound like commuting to me.
Heās probably trying to mate.
Thatās not the case. Heās rarely back for more than a day
Do we sack him or force him to live in Ireland? Whatās the solution here?
But itās not a pointless system. Itās a very imperfect system. You just say itās pointless because it inconveniences you.
Debating semantics when new Liz Hurley content is being bumped in the Auld Birds thread, smh.
Back where? Brussels or Dublin?
The LA Clippers are bringing in a capacity crowd for their next game and thatās in California so Iād presume most places are more or less back to normal
Dublin.
Theres a lovely but of cut and paste to that thread
Ok. Iāll ask you a direct question. Can you explain to me the point of applying MHQ to countries where there are little or no variants of concern while having more or less open travel to the largest well of the only variant that may actually be of concern?
Iād say itās pointless.
Heās rarely back in Dublin for more than a day and yet you say he works in Dublin? What does he do in Brussels so? Does he work there?
Does he work in Dublin in the same way @Fran used to work in Dusseldorf?
Iām going to the gym
Because itās better than nothing. What is your solution right now as regards travel to and from the UK?
He has to go
Iāve already set it out for you (you ignored it).
Rapid testing four hours prior to departure in addition to PCR before travel, rapid testing on arrival, MHQ for people who test positive on arrival until they get a PCR test (to be released if negative, obviously).
Edit: it isnāt better than nothing. The biggest risk by far is the UK. Letās call it 99% of the risk. Doing something about the 1% and saying itās better than nothing and putting our feet up is silly. Itās not better than nothing, itās a nonsense response. Iād call it doing the ostrich.
Personally I donāt know why anybody would bother travelling through choice given such rigmarole.
I thought you wanted travel and tourism opened up?
Which system do you think is safer, more transparent and more effective, our current one or my one?
I would have to compare the current restrictions as regards UK travel to your proposed system. What are the current restrictions for UK travel? I havenāt been to the UK since the start of the pandemic so I donāt have personal experience of them.
Surely though, the open border with NI renders any restrictions moot? At least thatās been the argument of you and others for as long as I remember . Itās not my argument. Iām just raising it because that was the argument that was constantly brought up.
We need to stop travel but we need to open up travel.
We need to start testing people properly at airports but these tests are ridiculous.
The UK is our main trading partner but we need to stop travel from it.
We need to say weāre open for business while simultaneously shutting down.
This mandatory hotel quarantine is a disgrace but itās also a disgrace we donāt have it.
This pandemic is over but Iām sick of seeing people waltzing in through the airport untested.
We need to cut down on travel but we need Mr. Generic Arrogant Airline Executive running the country.
We need to support laid off workers but we canāt afford to do it so we shouldnāt.
Itās not right that people can commute to work here untested but theyāre essential workers so itās also right that this is the case.
We need a realistic, down-to-earth regime of travel restrictionsā¦ thatās completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots.
