UK: Travellers Must Give Reason for International Travel

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Is saying "I want to get out of this dictatorial state which takes away my rights without the approval of my elected representative" a good enough reason? Is this a law? Did it pass parliament?

Yes, it did. See below if you fancy a turgid read. It did not go through without a lot of concern by MP's. The law includes a 'sunset clause' which means an automatic expiration of the restrictions at a given date, whereupon M'P's can vote to extend them. The next date is, I think, at the end of March.

The more people get vaccinated and the less hospitalisations and deaths, the quicker these restrictions will lapse. The UK is nearly there. However, when it comes to international travel, I would expect tighter restrictions upon entering the country, not less.

it's easier to enforce nanny rules in an arse-end-of-beyond nation of suburban curtain-twitchers

more difficult in a diverse cosmopolitan global hub

Met him in person. Definitely not a troll. As for usefulness, I can attest to that when I wanted to get rid of my Garmin.

It's boggling my mind just how many people here seem to be under the delusion that every other country in the world haven't also put various travel restrictions in place in response to the pandemic.

Half the thread is people criticizing the UK response for being too little too late and the other half is people who've somehow managed to get the idea that the rest of the world is allowing free movement while Britain alone has fallen to the fascists. :facepalm:

G'donya Nerd.
It's great to see the British Bulldog fighting spirit is still alive.


Keep the home fires burning
Fight them on the beaches....
Bring back the Spitfire!!
The chalky cliffs of Dover, those sacred borders of Civilisation itself, shall forever stay White.

and all that.

My lord above, what do Australians and Brits in Cambodia think of all this nonsense? So many tout things about human rights but approve that one must appeal to the government to live their lives.
