Well Bodgit doesn't have to worry about closing our borders down to incoming travellers any more - the rest of Europe are busy shutting their's down to anyone travelling from here. While they say it doesn't stop flights and trains leaving Europe to bring people home to Blighty - how many are going to be sent out there empty in the first place?

On the same "theme" up here in Scotland I'm asking Nicola, "Have we similarly shut down our airports to domestic flights from England"? Same with trains Theo? I gather this variant virus has already crossed the Scottish border but we must still "hit the source of it" as much as practically possible and pray that tried and tested "track and trace" methods effectively isolate the prob areas and suppress the threat. I also gather that a heavier Police presence has been placed on the Scottish border to try and enforce the travel ban imposed by the Scot govt - challenging times ahead and "fingers crossed" that the mitigation measures are effective!
