Abolishing tests for entry to U.K. not in our best interests.

It seems to be purely in order to appease the travel industry. Madness IMO.

Even if they drop the requirement of tests for returning nationals they could still keep them for foreigners. After all every country I want to go to requires a negative test.

I’m with you on everything you say, why can’t those in charge use some common sense?
It’s a pity the motto for Politicians isn’t ‘Protect and Serve’

Everyone is hailing the abolition of covid tests for incoming passengers to the U.K. as though it is a positive move.
I recently flew to the U.S. to see my grandchildren. Knowing that everyone on the plane had a recent negative test gave me a feeling of security on the long flight, and again on the return.
I shall shortly be off again. Everybody on board will have a recent negative result BUT, on the return flight I could be mixing with people who do have covid. They will potentially infect those on the plane and bring more infection into the U.K. Why are we not protecting our country by keeping covid out?
