5000 pounds fine for those who go on holiday abroad. Johnson wants to keep the British out of the UK

Johnson is not joking: £ 5,000 fine (€ 5,800) for every British person who goes abroad without justification. The sanction is included in the legislation passed by parliament last Thursday and will be in effect from Monday.

Holidays abroad are currently not allowed under the 'stay at home' rule which ends on Mondays, but the previous rule provided for a more limited penalty of £ 200. The government doesn't want the British to think they can go to Spain without any problems, so the new rule has heavily increased the penalty.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was "too early" to set new rules on travel abroad for the summer, not wanting to make any mid-term predictions, after announcing that everything should return to normal in June.

Under the current plan to ease restrictions, the earliest date people in England could go overseas for a holiday would be May 17.

It presents itself as another wave of Covid cases in continental Europe, as well as the slow introduction of vaccines in the EU, puts into question the resumption of holidays abroad, even if all this frankly puts into question the meaning of the campaign. vaccination, if there is still the fear of a new spread of infections.

Even the strict lcokdown still imposed in the UK is now less and less understood and accepted, with 95% of the population over 60 vaccinated and an invitation to 50-year-olds to get vaccinated, as well as an abundance of serums. Why stay closed, or rather ask for a vaccination passport to enter pubs, when the population is vaccinated in a high percentage and, above all, all sections of the population at risk are covered? This they begin to ask themselves more and more in Albion.
