Ridiculous and there will be no quarantine as diplomatic travel. How many are going. Over a week now since New Zealand stopped their own citizens from coming from India into their strict quarantine because so many had COVID when they got to NZ.

Madness, but same for all the leaders coming here to the G7 summit a fortnight later. What are they thinking?

The red flag should go up for India---a no-go area !

After all our efforts...
This guy thinks it's ok to visit a country where the virus is rampant
Apparently, this particular strain may by vaccine resistant
It beggars belief

It'll serve him right to catch what I caught in Dec.2019 when two women from India were visiting relatives here for Christmas, coughing spitting and spluttering in a hospital bay opposite to where I was !
He'll know about it then as he only had a taste of the virus.

No doubt we’ll see him dressed up in various types of fancy dress. He’s an absolute f***wit for going and remember he’ll be taking a huge group of people with him as well ( but maybe not Jennifer). It’ll be interesting to see how the mice play whilst he’s gone. Gove is still unbelievably quiet and invisible so is clearly upto something

I was hoping when I read the thread title that he'd had a Maharishi moment and he was off 'to find himself'and wouldn't be back! Ah well I can dream!

No it’s not what we need the virus is rampant there the man is a total d....head.

Has he ran out of photo shoot opportunities in this country? A chance to wear different costumes perhaps? Is he taking his official photographer (or is it two?) with him?

India is in the middle of a very bad new strain
The mans ab idiot I hope he stays there

Kamiso Fri 16-Apr-21 20:16:01

Perhaps he’s going to try and sort out the mess that Macron created.

Doodledog Fri 16-Apr-21 20:12:02

I hope he has to quarantine under strict conditions on his return.

There is a nasty variant in India which has already made its presence felt here.

Are there any rules Johnson recognises?

EllanVannin Fri 16-Apr-21 19:52:28

Just what we need ! The world's gone potty.

Bearing in mind we are discouraged from travelling abroad because of the virus, should the PM be travelling to India with their numbers soaring. Risking himself and entourage and possibly bringing infection back here
