Part of me feels sorry for those in Portugal but tbh only a small part, daft sods.
I certainly have some sympathy.
Yet again the Government fuck normal people over.
No warnings as previously stated.
No watchlist as previously stated.
Being very coy and evasive about the data they are apparently following.
Last summer we all knew it was a bit of a bullet dodging process with the air corridors, but the Gov said they wanted to try and avoid that whole farce again this summer.
And yet at the first opportunity they opt to repeat the farce.
People travelled to Portugal in good faith (as is possible at the moment), and have been left scrambling again after the pricks in charge randomly pull the rug yet again.
It's very easy to be dismissive of it all, and condemn people for having the audacity to fly abroad, but these people did absolutely nothing wrong, just like going down the pub/restaurant isn't doing anything wrong.
I will caveat the above that people do need to travel abroad with their eyes open at the moment, and I'm sure articles will surface over summer with some idiots bleating to the press about ''how could this happen'', in which case my sympathy would be in short supply. Expect the unexpected.
