He must have lied about his destination, surely. Because, as yet, we have no permission, from Greece, to fly there?

Lol. I think I did. If you rate that a rant. You're gonna need a tin helmet when and if, it does happen.
Real reports, like this, have a place in the Covid discussion section of any forum.
if any part of the report had deviated from the truth. I may agree with you. But it doesn't. I'd also agree if this were in the lounge section. But no. It's in a section dedicated to discussions, thoughts and articles, just like this.

It's just a personal thing really, I get annoyed with people on FB who just continually share news reports. They don't comment, or give their views and usually aren't interested in any kind of discussion about it. They just share it.

I'm usually interested in hearing people's views, I'm just not interested in reading re-shared news articles all day, especially as usually I'll click on them and it will either tell me to sign up, or disable my ad blocker before I can read it anyway.

He flew via Bulgaria, so guessing there's no restriction to fly to Greece from there.

I'm also aware that these newspaper sites rely on clicks, something I'd rather not keep doing.


Quote some of the important bits, comment, give me your thoughts and I'll care.

So not just residents of those countries. Anyone, even if they've just flown in from a non listed country? Seems a bit counter to common sense.

Tory corruption has always been a thing. Sadly Labour left it too late to get a younger leader so we are left with a Gov that allows corruption. A gov that does nothing to help low income households a Gov that over the last 5 years have allowed Councils to rob the poor and disabled. A Gov that allows councils to charge everyone council tax yet the Gov gives no money to pay for it. A Gov that doesn't count Rent or council tax as outgoings if they did they would realise 40 hours work on minimum wage minus P.A.Y.E rent and council tax leaves workers with less money to live off than those who do not work . Do they not realise some folks are good at maths, and can see the argument floored.

This has been a common tactic for years

Someone I knew had a diving school out in Egypt - when UK flights stopped flying to sharm because of the laxness of checking at sharm airport (I’ve been it is lax) and planes being blown up - everyone just flew to turkey first and went from there
