At the time they travelled it was perfectly fine, it's not their fault the quarantine rules have suddenly changed with no warning ⚠.

LOL. It was never fine. If the virus is still out there it can be caught and passed on. I do blame the government for allowing travel whilst this is still around.

Learning that a nightclub was open of Saturday night not too far from me. Apparently the place was rammed. No social distancing. Open until 3am. ( A mate told me. His son was there)

Do you blame your mate for allowing his son out (& have you told him) ;)

Just because the government advised it was ok to travel doesn’t mean it was safe to do so, definitely not perfectly fine.

Selfish and irresponsible is my view of people wanting to travel abroad at the moment, that view might not go down well with some but Covid is still out there and dangerous.

BBC Breakfast tv and Radio 5 all yesterday morning, holiday makers good, government bad.
They're at it again on the tv this morning.
I heard a lass on the radio yesterday who was saying her boss said she had to go back to work once she'd got back from Spain (she was still going to go on Tuesday morning/today), her boyfriend was self employed and wouldn't get any pay for the two weeks after the holiday. No brainer, don't go!
I really do wonder how many people will actually self isolate for 14 days once they come back.

I heard a couple that come from my area interviewed from the airport, they were going to Spain yesterday they decided to go anyway. They needed a break they said, well there’s many struggling at this time and would love to get away on holiday.

We have been lucky in our area with very few cases and I think it’s madness to go to Spain and potentially bring back the virus.

I agree, but it could also be the flip of this and they take the Virus to Spain don't forget! Is the UK not in a worse position than Spain right now? Some of the 'blame' should be on the countries accepting flights and holidaymakers, however, when certain areas rely on Tourism for vast portions of their regional revenue, it must be a terrible time for them also.

My wife has a work colleague who say the same, despite having six weeks off on furlough!

It was torture for some!!

Both Mentally and Physically.
I think thats what some people don't understand. The way it affected so many people mentally was horrendous, it's to easy say it wasn't hard all you had to do was stay home and enjoy time off but for many that can lead to or make worse mental fragility.
