I seem to remember Theresa May threatening this in the 2017 election (along with the "dementia tax"). She called the election fully expecting to romp home against Jeremy Corbyn's commissars, but a hung parliament was the result instead. Much was said at the time that the Tories lost what was referred to as "the grey vote" because of this, which was a significant factor in May's failure to secure ...
@Carer .....1 commercial passenger plane coming from an infected country is one to many. Considering most people are being allowed to just stroll through the airport and go and see who ever they like. The UK is an island and as such we had a great advantage over most countries to limit people entering, but no the f@#$/^g government made a complete balls up of it. Don't get me started on all ...
And the 10k each mp got for the hardship of having to work from home

As for 40 flights arriving at Heathrow today, WOW, they usually have that amount in less than ...
@Carer .....airplanes......are u sure!!!!!!!!!!!!, because there are plenty in the sky and at least 40 coming into Heathrow today.
Grow in population, but sod all else.
The most exclusive might be beyond the average person's reach - but you can still find a bargain in Devon! Beautiful Salcombe in the South Hams has an average house price of just over £600,000 - almost three times the national average. Just along the coast lies Dawlish, population about 17,000 but expected to grow in the next few years as a number of large housing developments take shape. ...
@DEEDOODLE Not sure if you have heard, but there is a global pandemic known as Corvid-19 aka Coronavirus, where all holidays, including cruises, have halted, and ships (as well as aeroplanes) have to find somewhere to hold up until they are called back into service.
