None of the stupid policy changes (in both UK and France) have stopped me seeing my daughter in the UK at least every 8 weeks since my first Covid visit in May 2021.The "joke" is we can't visit our daughter in the UK and she can't visit us in France because HMG (the geniuses currently delivering the highest prevalence of Covid and Delta variant in Europe) has classified France as "amber plus", ostensibly because of the prevalence of the Beta variant (3% of French cases). This variant appears in French stats mostly because of La Réunion (and to a lesser extent Mayotte), islands 9000km away off Madagascar. With all the confinements on both sides of the Channel, we haven't seen her for a year and were hoping that July 19 would at least bring a little family reunion. To add to the farce, this world-beating regulation apparently has a loophole: its restrictions only apply to people coming from metropolitan France, not to people from any of the overseas bits. Incompetence, or sheer bloody-minded bureaucratic lunacy?
I am currently on holiday with her in UK.
What's your problem? Is it the additional costs? That's the only real barrier I experience each time I plan a trip back to UK. Saying I can't visit my daughter would be false. Why is your situation different?
