Where do you draw that particular line?

I don’t think you should draw a line. I know it’s a contentious subject, but as a visitor to the UK, if you don’t want the vaccine, don’t come. There’s enough dead already and whilst it may not make a huge difference, every little helps. I’m coming back to help look after my dying step-mum in a few days. I certainly wouldn’t have an issue.
My point was more that other crimes are not considered as serious/ warrant similar penalty.10 years is fair enough. It’s not for lying it’s for introducing a pathogen that could kill thousands.

I.e. carrying weapons
Some sexual offences including those where children are involved
Yep, visitors are allowed except for the red countries I believe.Well three things:
- It's British Nationals not just visitors that have to quarantine. Not even sure visitors are allowed in.
- What other medical treatments / behaviours do you then go on to make compulsory? Measles vaccine? Seems fair. HPV vaccine? Yeah, not such a bad shout. Ban smoking? Ban alchohol which kills thousands. Ban being overweight? Great indicator of heart disease which is the single biggest killer....
- As said up there, vaccinating people at the border means others in potentially higher priority groups, and therefore more vulnerable will be bumped back

And I actually do think they should ban smoking....
Whoever is organizing it all, they probably deserve a medal.
You could possibly end up with people just flying into the U K for the mandatory vaccination. If it wasn’t readily available in their own country. Dafter things have happened !.What amazes me is why nobody has suggested mandatory vaccination when you arrive. Refuse, get put back the a plane from where you departed.
It’s not clear if you are asking do we need more vaccination centers or more vaccine. But there is a shortage in vaccine I believe. Demand is higher than the availability at present.One thing I am interested to know, the UK now has so many vaccination centres, are the manufacturers producing more vaccines than can be administered now? And whilst the job that is happening now is certainly impressive, do we need even more.
You've barred communists from the UK? Surely that'll have an adverse impact on sales of cabbage?Yep, visitors are allowed except for the red countries I believe.
Turnips are fine though.You've barred communists from the UK? Surely that'll have an adverse impact on sales of cabbage?
The 10 days quarantine is probably inadequate.In countries where the pandemic is unchecked, many cases, variants (mutations) will occur naturally.
The UK is managing to undertake a very comprehensive vaccination program and the virus will be greatly controlled and ever more so. Now when it is ‘managed’ and fewer cases are occurring the likelihood of a variant occurring fall to an exceptionally low possibility.
So if some burk brings a variant in and lies about their travels, the variant gets a hold and into the community, the variant is resistant to the vaccine and now the UK has to return to lockdown measures again... If one person dies of the variant let alone thousands; is it not manslaughter? Murder even? It could cost the UK many billions. 10 years is pretty meaningless against that.
I come home to Jeanette listening to the PM and the others briefing; the BBC pick up on him not answering a question about if he has booked a holiday this year! Then they asked everyone else they interviewed! Like it bloody matters, I just want to get out of lockdown so I can drive my car, paddle my kayak and go and see my mother!
Covid has probably raised peoples general hygiene too. How many people have had a cold or flu this winter? I certainly haven't.A fit (windsurfs, waterskies, cyles, etc) mid/late 50's friend had Covid badly last spring needing hospitalisation and oxygen. He was still complaining of chest pains in the autumn - eventually he got some tests which revealed blocked arteries. That explains why he got so poorly as he had an unknown underlying health condition. You could argue had it not been for Covid he was fast heading for a heart attack, etc.
