'Welcome to England!’
And what a welcome, if you want to, or have to, come from over 30 high risk, red listed countries.
In its latest move to keep out visitors and the virus, whatever the variant, the government has announced draconian rules. Quite a rIgmarole.
Before you depart you will have to prove you are infection free. Forget to fill in the form and that’s a £1,000 fine.
Inflight, complete a questionnaire. On landing go straight to jail - no, to your hotel, booked for you by the government.
No concierge to greet you, probably the security guards who will watch over you for your 10 day stay. No sightseeing. You will have to stay in your room. No room service - three meals a day. Trays left outside your door. No housekeeping; do it yourself. After two days you will pay for a test, a second one on day eight.
Test positive and you have another ten days. Miss them and £2,000 will be added to your bill, although you will then enjoy another four restful days.
When, safe, you complete your stay/sentence you will check out and get your bill - £1,750.
Make sure you get it right and pay up. Failure could send you to another safe haven - one of Her Majesty’s 117 prisons.
The good news is won’t be charged there. The government will pay, at the average cost per resident, £43,000 a year.
If you think you might escape quarantine by giving false information, think again; you could end up in gaol for up to 10 years.
Welcome to England!
