Quote At the time there was no approved hotels in Turkey for the purpose of quarantine. And tourists had no restrictions once there so it was "just like an extra Holiday" they may well of tested negative before arrival in Turkey but than caught it there during their "extended Holiday" and then not isolated for the 10 days at home like they should. Not true. Travellers from India required to stay 14 days in approved dormitorieshttps://www.thenationalnews.com/world/europe/perfectly-legal-uk-citizens-flouting-hotel-quarantine-by-flying-to-turkey-1.1218009

But the deals are causing anger in Turkey, where a 7pm curfew is in place until May 17. Everyone entering Turkey must present a negative Covid-19 test, but only travellers from India are required to quarantine for 14 days in designated dormitories. Most tourists on short-term stays are exempt from the curfew.
Vision Travels and Tours, also based in Pakistan but which lists a UK phone number, tells travellers: “No worries, be happy … travel back to UK from Pakistan and have holidays in Turkey during Covid 2021.”
Quote I would of thought that If they can afford to go in the first place they should be able to afford to properly quarantineYep that's what I told you. £600 per person to quarantine in an approved hotel in Turkey, plus negative tests before and after, as opposed to £1750 to do the same in the UK. So for a family of 4 that's a difference of £4600. Plus, legally you have been tested as negative earlier.And you wouldn't do that?

Odd how the left were so keen to follow the results table when the UK had the worst fatality figures in Europe, yet when we flew ahead on the vaccine rollout they keep saying how 'it isn't a race' and 'no one is safe until we're all safe'
With the vast majority of the elderly and vulnerable now vaccinated, surely there shouldn't be all that many people who end up hospitalised on a ventilator now.
No because I wouldn't be traveling abroard in the first place. Why do you keep defending these people who are ‐ in the first place being irresponsible in traveling anyway and then deliberately circumventing measures put in place to try and protect our population. Especially when you are quick to jump on those people who thought it would be safe and an open space to go to the beach, just so happens that a lot of other people thought the same thing at the same time. Those people were getting out for some fresh air after dutifully staying g at home.
Travellers from Pakistan did not need to stay in designated dormitories
Quote Travellers from Pakistan did not need to stay in designated dormitories I thought we were talking about the Indian Variant Don't think there is a 'Pakistani Variant'. They are two different countries you know.

Rather than targeting just one group.....
Yet if it had been a monumental foc-up like in the EU, it'd have been Boris's, sorry Johnson's, fault wouldn't it
targeting just one group.....
Next you'll be telling me Starmer's name isn't 'Sir'
Quote Next you'll be telling me Starmer's name isn't 'Sir' Not sure. He hasn't got a County Court Judgement we could check against
'Pakistani Variant'
Can't they just make vaccination compulsory unless the individual concerned has got a valid medical exemption?.
