Re: Coronavirus
Several months ago I joked (sort of) that we're only a few steps away from men in long leather trench coats and wire rimmed spectacles stopping you and demanding to see your "papers"
Well we just took another step closer.

Re: Coronavirus
I dont think checking you have a valid reason is unreasonable.

It's not good politics as there's no extra capacity in the UK, so the UK vaccinations would fall behind. The electorate of Australia might be happy but the electorate of the UK wouldn't be.

Re: Coronavirus
Did not expect to see this, would have expected UK Covid 19 death rate to be on the decline now.

Will be interesting to note the divergence between vaccinated groups and unvaccinated groups when they update it.

It's not checking though is it. Checking is asking you at the check in desk whether you packed your own bag, or whether you have banned substances in your carry on. Checking would be at the same time asking if you have a valid reason for travel and you replying yes I'm off to Frankfurt fir a business meeting. That's checking.
This is making you carry around a document authorising you to travel. This is the government saying we don't trust any of you, you must explain why you are travelling in writing and if you don't we'll fine you, oh and yes don't worry you do live in a free society.
