Why have people gone on holiday in the last couple of weeks, surprised they can't get back as airlines and countries are closing borders. Anyone who is aware of what's happening in the world, could reasonable expect this to happen.
Now they are blaming to government for not helping to get them back, as if the government hasn't got more pressing issues to deal with. These people appear on the news complaining are just selfish bast_rds.

We live in a society where everything is always someone else's fault and the Government is a soft target to blame

A fine batting average sir!

Anyone who embarks on a political point scoring rampage is to be blunt, a very sad individual. probably a butt hurt lefty who just can't handle they lost Brexit, and got walloped in the General election and that Comrade's Corbyn and Abbott are yesterday's chip wrapper's.

personally I think the Government have played a blinder in what is an unprecedented situation.

Chill the fcuk out.

Cutting beds while the population increases doesn't seem like a sensible strategy but you'd imagine that all that had been factored in.

Nevertheless these weren't the actions of Johnson, but of Hunt and co from within Cameron's run. May....as much as I disliked her....was an even worse PM but to be fair was essentially a pawn policy wise to her advisers....still that was her call....A weak and actually not that stable a woman.

The NHS is a bottomless pit of funding and we will see what Johnson and co do.....however at the moment...it is what it is.....which is still far better than most countries in the world.

Let do that! I appreciate that you obviously know more than I do about the workings of Border Force and what can and cant be done, as I only worked for them for over 30 years but let me pick at your reply:
I refer to Teddy Eagles post of yesterday and indeed yours of this morning....no-one knows fully how this can be transmitted, it is possible for it to be transmitted on documents (ie passports) some places, I believe including Kew Gardens, are considering not accepting cash.
What are these special facilities? If you are talking about the private interview rooms, let me explain in simple terms why this is not practical: This would be classed as detention, to detain someone you have to issue legal documentation, take their fingerprints (mmm! in the present climate) and take their photograph. This is a LEGAL requirement, if not done the Department can (and have) been sued for unlawful detention.
Where are these places with screens and windows? I have never seen them. Officers have been asking for these for years but, thanks to your looney Liberals friends, they have been resisted as they did not want interviewees to feel intimidated, as they do not exist now, you cannot just magic them out of thin air.
We could implement health checks BUT WE ARE NOT and my point was that Border Force Officers are at risk. if this were to be the case, where do you suggest the people be taken? and how?
Finally I wonder what your definition of rocket science is? The reason being I want to let my daughter (who is a Senior Spacecraft Engineer) know that there is a sage living in a Cornish bubble who may well know more about her job than she does.
