UK not banning travel from ANY country? Not even ITALY?

I couldn't edit it anymore because I couldn't because of the 15 minute limit, so here it is, please disregard that first edition of this post in favour of this edited updated version seen in the quote above.

 

Maybe with less alcohol your gouvernment which viciously spoke against east Europeans woudn't have to fly them into the UK to do the work which must be done and your countrymen aren't willing or able to do.

Oktoberfest is a Munich issue not a German. The brand is just used to make money.

In my hometown Ebbelwoi is the traditional beverage.

Ireland's in the EU and they're hiring cheap labour too.

I maintain that the sooner we rid ourselves off the dependency of cheap labour found in the EU, the better, I speak about the UK of course, not Ireland; Ireland can do whatever except call themselves independent since they have to ask the EU in Brussels for everything and they're not their own masters.
We don't seem to understand in the UK that cheap labour from the EU is almost like a slave economy; the sooner we rid ourselves off it, the better.

Just get it through your head, the UK's better than Germany since we're more advanced and our history clearly shows it not to mention we're not in the EU.
You didn't have tea, sat around for half a century doing nothing with no choice while we had the industrial revolution.

Did your apple juice give Germany an industrial revolution? (If it did, was at least 50 years behind the British).
Also, UK took India, took opium and then pushed it onto the Chinese to get them hooked before trading it to them; They had a war about it, didn't end well for them;
we got 4 ports and the lease for Hong Kong for it.
Germany, not even close, no tea, no opium, no nothing.
We clearly were the dominant ones; why, because having tea with milk and sugar made it possible when the rest of Europe had to rely on stupefying beer and wine, that's why.

This is not up for debate.

 

Wait, if that apple juice is alcoholic @Blücher then you've got no point and admit that Europeans didn't have tea or a way to sustain that didn't get them drunk and so were just too drunk to have anything like the industrial revolution for themselves since, again, no tea, just cider, and for the record, cider is rank/disgusting and I never drink it (unless mixed with beer and blackcurrant in a concoction called a snakebite or 'snakebite & black').

But other than that; yuck! cider, imo.
Same as Jagermeister only I never drink Jagermeister because it's disgusting.

 

Well then you're thinking silly unfounded thoughts. I'm British actually, just living in Australia. Indeed, it seems that every country on the planet "likes" travel bans apart from the UK. Do you suspect that all of the travel banning countries are basing the bans on "some political ideology?

How could it possibly be known what infected people were prevented from entering the country and prevented from spreading?

So has the UK now officially abandoned the herd immunity idea? I'm thinking so, because the current lock down doesn't seem to promote much 'herding.'

 

So what can be learned do you think?

 

I sure you can think of a few

 

Perhaps you missed where I said, "do you think."

 

no...not really...its just that I work in financial markets and apart from learning to operate my remote terminal so I can work from home and communicate with my colleagues that's it for me - I'm not in the medical or disaster recovery or government planning world thus cannot help you any further. However, like I said I'm pretty sure you can think of a few for yourself....cheers mate.

 

Because U.K. is a full fledged Marxist nation like France and Germany

Don’t worry the USA is catching up and fast

 

Are you saying that this is why they don't have any travel bans?

 

Total rot. Have you even been here? The UK is a deeply conservative country. We've not had a socialist government since before Thatcher.

 

It can't be all THAT conservative when there's no freedom of speech. And when the main Conservative political party isn't calling for the removal of hate speech laws.

 

No freedom of speech?
None?
Get the f@ck outta here.

 

Where there are laws which can see someone prosecuted - with possible JAIL TIME - for expressing an offensive opinion, there is no freedom of speech. It's that simple.

 

No, it's not that simple.
North Korea has no freedom of speech, the UK has a few restrictions on the freedom of speech.
Do you see the difference?

 

Well people can SPEAK in North Korea, so there is obviously SOME freedom of speech. There is obviously far LESS freedom of speech in North Korea than the UK as well as most other countries that I know of. There is no RIGHT to free speech in North Korea, but then that also applies to every country in the world other than the US as far as I know. Comparing the UK to North Korea isn't fair. How about you compare it to other Western nations where people CANNOT be locked up for offending someone, even where there is no right to free speech - say a country like Australia.

 

Who was locked up for offending someone?

 

Mark Meechan- AKA Count Dankula - FACED a possible prison sentence.

 

Was he locked up?

 

No, but the crime CAN lead to prison!

 

Do you know what his crime was?

 

Yes, he made a video with a Nazi reference. What's your point exactly?

 

My point is that you don't know what you are talking about.
What offence was he convinced of?

 

Breaching the Communications Act. What's your point?

What about now? Do I still not know what I'm talking about?
