Hired heavies will be knocking on 10,000 doors per day according to British Home Secretary..
The British government has claimed that it intends to send private security contractors to knock on the doors of anyone returning from holidays to make sure they are quarantining upon their return, as required by law.
Home Secretary Priti Patel announced Wednesday that those returning from destinations that have not been added to the government’s ‘green list’ should expect to be checked on at their homes.
The warning comes after the government lifted international travel restrictions on Monday, allowing people to go on holiday, but with extensive caveats.
Patel claimed that 10,000 checks will be conducted every day by private contractors hired via the firm Mitie, and if people are found to be flouting quarantine or acting noncompliant, police will be called to deal with them, with the authorisation to issue fines of up to £10,000.
The government has decreed that a negative PCR test and ten day quarantine is required for anyone returning from countries it has not deemed to be completely safe to visit, including the popular destinations of The U.S., France, Spain and Greece.
Those returning will then have to take a further two PCR tests (at their own expense) and test negative to be allowed out of their houses after the ten day period.
“People will not go unchecked,” Patel threatened. adding “Significant resources have been put in place – millions of pounds – in terms of the follow-up checking of people around their testing and making sure they stay at home. It has been stepped up.”
Discouraging travel to so called ‘amber list’ countries, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told Sky News Thursday that “You’ve got to quarantine. People will come to your house to check your quarantine. It’s expensive. We’re not at the stage of saying to people, go to those places on holiday. Please don’t.”
Health Secretary Matt Hancock also claimed that the door to door checks are already underway, with 30,000 being conducted last week.
Boris Johnson told MPs yesterday that visits to medium-risk destinations are only acceptable in ‘extreme circumstances’.
The announcement came after millions of people had already booked trips to the destinations, and in many cases have already arrived there, prompting fury from travellers, airlines and booking agents.
Julia Lo Bue-Said, of Advantage Travel Partnership described the government’s actions as “typical nanny state tactics.”
She added “Surely the British public can make up their own mind if they wish to quarantine in order to visit an amber country. As long as protocols are followed, testing is in place and rules in the destination are adhered to we see no reason why we cannot be allowed to travel safely to amber destinations for leisure. Otherwise, make those amber countries red.”
In related news, it has been revealed that UK ‘Covid passports’ officially rolled out for use during international travel will eventually be used domestically to restrict the movement of the population, according to the small print on the NHS website.
If you don’t realize this has nothing to do with some stupid virus and this is nothing more than a giant communist plot and the great reset then I have a bridge to sell you in Florida
First they take your weapons and outlaw meaningful self-defense, then they arrest you for social media posts, and now they put you under house arrest for traveling.
Way to go, UK.
Ya know... there’s a proven solution to this problem...

Stalin and Hitler would be so jealous.
And the UK was set to lift most travel restrictions (lots of green list countries, now there are none)
Until Indians reinfected the country…

Daily phone calls and if you miss one, you get a visit the next day. And you have to install the NHS Track-and-Trace app on your phone.
And every day we hear about what the English are like, the appreciation for that document and what those people had to do grows immensely.
Britain appears to be a giant concentration camp run by deranged psychopaths.
…UK ‘Covid passports’ officially rolled out for use during international travel will eventually be used domestically to restrict the movement of the population, according to the small print on the NHS website.Checking a few international holiday travelers is small peanuts compared to THAT tyranny.
But Boris Johnson is such a “great conservative” and his propaganda machine will be demonizing his opponents like the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan to get you to like Johnson.
And a lot of posts will reflect the Kool Aid.
But I won’t be drinking.
A bit Hitler-ish there, England.
A simpler solution would have been to not let their people travel to certain countries to begin with.
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there are not enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.. ~Ayn Rand..
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - you know your nation is doomed... ~Ayn Rand..
The best part is “acting noncompliant”. So, if you refuse to bow down in submission to the fascist government, you’ll be arrested, fined, and perhaps thrown in jail.
This from a government that threw Tommy Robinson in jail for pointing out that the government did nothing about muslims who groomed women for sex.
Why do they have a Queen? So that the PM can do the dirty work and the people can look at the Queen and say “Ain’t Britain great?”
The Covid-19 pandemic crisis was about scaring us into submission, then telling us we’d be safe if only we would give the government more control over our lives.
Looks like the Nazis finally succeeded in their plans to invade the UK.
yes, it is run by deranged psychopaths
they’re called progressives
same over there as they are here.

There you go, you’re all crazy conspiracy theorists, as long as you nobody reads the “fine print”.
