Could this be why all these variants are getting in ??

My Son has just arrived back from working in Japan, he says he had more checks to get out of Japan, but arriving back at Heathrow everyone on the plane was just waved through and told to keep on moving.

Fortunately, he works for a reputable company who have organized all the relevant checks.

It's the responsibility of Border force to check inbound pax. not the airport staff.

The government resources mean that we get what we vote and are willing to pay for . It's shocking that there were minimal checks . Those arriving were tested with a negative result before arrival and will have to have paid for more tests after arrival, which is a little reassuring.

if other people are meant to be smart enough to see what you meant rather than what you said , why shouldn’t we expect you to be smart enough to realise the folk on the desk are doing the job they have been told to do

nobody is being “waved” through into the UK from japan without passports being checked that was just lies, if actually what you mean is you dont think the covid specific checks were detailed enough it has nothing to do with the workers being lazy , and everything to do with what policy had been written for the checks they need to complete

folk just going to work doing their job as told , hardly their fault

If everyone was checked and tested before leaving Japan and was a non stop flight and assuming the aircraft was also treated before they all boarded... What were they going to catch en route?

Genuine question.

Some big assumptions there. But testing isn't fool proof. We know from the stage managed test crowd events that everyone attending was tested and yet some still apparently caught it in open air events. So 14 hours in a hermetically sealed metal tube might be a bit more likely...? Hence why people should quarantine.

I think the point the op is making is that some other countries seem to be a bit/lot more rigorous with entry and exit procedures. The semantics of the arrivals process... Who does what.. Where.. When.. I don't think was particularly the relevant point. Just that arriving passengers from Amber / red list countries should be managed to minimise risk of bringing infections in.

Don't forget as well that the fact a policy exists does not mean it is being actioned, actioned accurately and effectively or enforced. Not does it mean that the policy's are effective or sensible or achievable... (eg the fortress around care homes which had no chance of being delivered as we could nt / wouldn't test them)

Beautifully explained thank you .... I was going to put a whole response on my myself but thought better of it in the end, some people are just not worth the effort

I wasn't making any assumptions to be frank, I did say it was a genuine question but forgot, those don't seem to be allowed.

Seriously, are you always as rude to someone asking a simple question.

My friend works at the airport and it's the same for flights coming in from India and Pakistan, which have increased since the new strain from there

Also don't forget we have hundreds coming in by the boat load down the coast daily! Have a great day now!

I don't think anyone's being rude. Sorry if you feel I was... As I wasn't. Just having a discussion. Arent we?

Bit pedantic but OK so I assumed the plane would be treated

It’s surely not the airport staff, border control or anyone else who works at the airport who is at fault. It’s the follow up on everyone who should be self isolating at home or at hotels thar needs to be tightened up. Once they leave the airport. How many go to the shops for essentials?
