Didn't you fill in the online form before returning to the UK, as should have done?
That is the registration, not "being stopped at passport control".
And yes, you should quarantine, just as we did when we got back from France. |

You went somewhere that requires quarantine. Fulfil your obligations and isolate for the required time. |

You dont have to be showing symptoms to get a test , anyone can book a test for " peace of mind ", if your in a packed pub on a saturday night and someone gets covid in there you will have to be tested ., showing symptoms or not !!! |

If you like what you experienced in Spain then adopt it here...the more people that do the better, so you can lead by example. |

Masks, socials distancing, quarantine, bubbles etc etc etc ALL rely on people not being stupid selfish arseholes and doing the right thing. We don’t enforce as hard as we could possibly should because it is assumed that people aren’t absolute idiots and know to do the right thing. |

Urgh do ‘techically’ she doesn’t have to isolate and I assume wouldn’t get paid if she chose to as the country wasn’t on the list. I’d like to think employers would do the right thing and allow her to but hey it’s all about the money so they won’t.  |

Have some cop on and demonstrate some responsibility and show some respect for everyone else.
Amazed you feel the need to ask that question. If people in a similar situation to you choose not to and someone gets Covid as a direct consequence of their actions then they should be prosecuted end of.   |

Yes. It's all about the money. Like it's a bad thing.
Such a naive statement. If companies aren't making money they aren't in business.
If companies aren't in business their employees don't have jobs and don't get wages.
People hurl that ridiculous sounbite around like confetti, without a seconds thought to the reality of operating a business and the benefits employment brings.
It's a fine balance between remaining in business and staff welfare.
Anecdotal evidence suggests most companies are doing the right thing by their staff.

Not naive at all - if you can work from home you should. Bojo wants all out for financial reasons not health reasons. He doesn’t give a toss about public health just the financial ramifications of those losses. There is enough money to support people through this it’s just some people have far too much money and some people have far too little. The system works in favour of the lucky that are able to make choices and the people that don’t have the finance to back the right choices are thrown under a bus. There is no need for trillionaires or billionaires ....... full stop. |

PS ... as a business owner prior to the last recession it’s not sound bites or lack of experience it’s just an ethical choice I make in my life to value people over profits. If you trust people, recruit well and treat them with respect you reap the rewards. Treat them like idiots and insist they ‘do as they’re told’ and you have no loyalty and might as well shut up shop. |

That’s not correct you can still show negative on a test as it can take up to 7 days to show |

Yes, it would be lovely if everyone could work from home. The reality is, those that can't by far outweigh those who can.
Of course the government want everyone back at work asap. Why would they want anything different? Full employment benefits the economy, the state, industry, the individual.

This is the same as me. I filled out form in my phone but was not asked for it at airport this side I was in Spain. I stayed in a private villa and hardly went out. There were max 15 people on my return flight. Masks worn at all time when in public unless eating or drinking. Much more strict than over here. I’ve taken a test that was negative but I will still stay at home as I’m working from home anyway |

Envy? Dear god no - haha that’s such an arrogant response it’s laughable no wonder our country is in the toilet. There is simply no benefit to anyone to have more money than you can spend. I’m not envious of anyone in that situation as I believe to get to that position you need to be ruthless and heartless and I’m much happier knowing I care more about people than money.
If you’re envious of trillionairres then you’re a sorry little person whom I would actually pity. |

Being back at work is what you do not where you sit. If you can work from home you should it’s really that simple. Those industries that rely on foot traffic should be supported through this but that won’t happen due to the governments priorities. |

It would have been sensible to not expect the UK to be the same as Spain and actually checked before flying.
I recommend that you visit the UK site now, so that you know the requirements.
It is a £100 fine if you have refused to provide the information |

So because the government screw up and people misbehave (or behave as they feel right given they don't know any better), you're asking if it's ok to break the law and potentially endanger your community during a global health crisis?
Uh... No. No it is not. Quarantine. |

I've walked through passport control at Manchester Airport in the past when arriving late at night, so maybe not making up shit.
Unless you think I'm also making up shit. If you do I can't help you. |

No, fair. I've got a non EU passport so it's really not my experience at all. I get the old manual check, interview, photograph and fingerprint.
I suppose I was thinking in the broader context of things people claim to know on here. |

I love to hear that... And that people adopt the practises... And then moan about doing the same in our own communities (not assuming or suggesting that you are one of those OP, just observing that some are happy to follow the rules on a holiday but then choose to come home and break quarantine or make an issue of hygiene measures etc...)
Also interested to hear your arrival "checks"... Best in the world aren't we! |

More children are living below the poverty line too - you’re proving my point. I have no interest in what you ‘think’ I feel to be honest - forums make you realise just how amazingly different people think - still an eye opener but a good filter I guess. |

"Arrived back from a country on quarantine list, not stopped at passport control, so therefore not registered, do i still quarantine ?
No, I wouldn't bother. This government are a joke. Cummings didn't, remember.
The message before was to protect the NHS. NHS is fine now.
For me, the government can rot in hell.
I do it to protect my community."
Omg this!!!! |

A colleague at work got back from holiday last week and hasn’t quarantined.
From a country that was on the quarantine list at the time?
From one that went on the list the day after she returned to work. "
Then they don't have to quarentine  |

Also got another colleague at work who sent his teenager to Tenerife for 2 weeks to stay with his mum and Jet2 had cancelled the flight he was meant to return home on so because he was under 16 had to fly back with another airline accompanied by his mum, so the teenager and his mum are in quarantine at colleagues home but colleague is coming to work, so the 2 he has in his home in quarantine could have the virus and he could bring it to work. It’s crazy! |

"Didn't you fill in the online form before returning to the UK, as should have done?
That is the registration, not "being stopped at passport control".
And yes, you should quarantine, just as we did when we got back from France."
I did the form online but it wasn't checked at the arrival airport. I'm still in quarantine.

Some countries won't let you board a flight to them, unless Advanced Passenger Information is provided by the airline and any mandatory covid-19 online applications have been submitted and accepted. That is how all flights in to the UK should be operating at present. I'm flying in in the next week and have been checked before leaving the UK and returning, needing QR Codes and flight/passport details that match.
A group of people in arrivals at uk airports, huddled before passport control, is something that shouldn't be being allowed. Obviously passport control should also be in situ and active at all times too, despite some here who have just walked through unchecked.
It really is very simple to apply for the immigration covid-19 screening and it also asks that you update it, should anything change. Uk police are currently having to undertake thousands of investigations into people who seem to have had problems with the process. That's avoidable work and possibly reflective of higher levels of health problems down the line. All at a time when we are facing prospective higher levels of infection and problems. |

"How on earth did you get past passport control without having your passport checked. I have never ever come into the UK without having passport checked. Are you special LOL ?"
You've really never just walked back into the country?
I've come through Dover many many times and the person in the booth sees the passports on your lap and waves you through. Sometimes I don't think they look if you arrive in a British vehicle.
I've landed at English airports and been waved through, admitted passports in hand ready.
And I landed back in Manchester t2 recently and whilst my passports went to the person, I don't think she opened them and no she never asked for my plf.
I can legally travel and do all forms required, but in my personal experience, just holding a passport of the correct colour let's you straight in. |

"Arrived back from a country on quarantine list, not stopped at passport control, so therefore not registered, do i still quarantine ?"
yes......
the reasoning as to why they don't do checks immediately on entry is that even if they did covid tests at airports you would only catch about 5% of the cases coming into the country....
whereas if the covid test is does 5 days after you come back then it would catch 87% of the cases coming in......
so quarentining for 7/10/14 days should mean that whatever you bring back should hopefully have left your system, or you would be unwell enough to have gotten a test in that time whilst quarentining |

There's good justification for testing on arrival and then at intervals, as other countries do - we could probably improve on it. Any infection caught could result in isolation, preventing any further infections.
We also need to pay people to isolate, as it's unreasonable to assume that people will comply, if they are on zero hours - this holds primarily for the majority of people who are not incoming travellers but just in the UK population. |

Portugal should be on the quarantine list for England. Everybody should be social distancing still, regardless of holidays, but we know they are not... |

I wonder how many of those who have flown in from Portugal recently will " err on the side of caution " and self isolate anyway? Take an extra 2 weeks off work in order "to do the right thing " ?? Il tell you how many , absolutley none !!!, unless they can work from home and have someone to " shop for them etc "! A pub near me closed on weds as a staff memeber tested positive , 48 hours later after a deep clean they are back open and very busy ! , would you really go back into the establishment so soon ? Its an absolute joke this country and the vast majority of people in it ! |

Some will, because they can and it protects others, others won't, because Portugal isn't on the quarantine list. People just seem to do what they want, regardless of the guidelines. I don't go in pubs at the moment. |

I do sympathise with you, I think other countries are taking Covid more seriously.
This government on lives day by day and does not plan ahead for different scenarios and when they do they often do not listen to the best advice.
We are facing a winter of multiple prolonged large scale lockdown’s throughout the country if a more targeted, strategic plan is not implemented such as zero Covid( cross party recommendation) . |

It's really annoying that people who have been in busy pubs are more likely to be infected than I am. Yet here I am in quarantine for 14 days while they are pissed up slobbering all over each other. |

It is. Unfortunately in the absence of coherent policy, clear messaging, and forms of enforcement or support, all we can do is make sure we do the right thing ourselves. |

You were and are supposed to fill in the online passenger locator form 48 hours before arriving in the U.K. Not at passport control 
And unless you've used a fake passport and credit/debit card then they do have you details thanks to api (advance passenger information) |

they do though. As you give your details when you book your ticket. You are meant to fill the form in online before flying back but not before 48 hours before your flight.
I'm back off to Sicily in a few weeks and entry has got stricter since I went a few weeks ago. So got quite a bit to fill in x also making sure my weekly test results are the day I go x |

Your details are logged as already stated so hopefully you'll get your £100 fixed penalty and soon your £1000 fine and criminal record.
Best of luck with it though. |

I've worn a mask since before lock down... I always avoid crowds and being to close to people even before this. I haven't been to a packed pub. I'm tested every week regardless. Have been tested more one week due to symptoms.
Its attitudes like this which will make it us that cant go abroad as we will be the country that's doing shit.

You will probably find work wont want you back until the 14 days are up.

If you come from a country on the quarantine list, you have to quarantine.
Where is the confusion with this? You may not like it. You may not agree. You may have some notion that you can illegally get around it.
It is the law.

If id no intentions of doing this what would be the need to cut short my holiday ? Im already on day 6 of quarantine apart from doing a late night shop as id mentioned , my point really is most on here are very quick to condemm me when i asked do ineed to quarantine as i didnt get checked at the airport and i pointed out that in my opinion people packing pubs and not social distancing or wearing masks when required are at greater risk of catching/ spreading the virus than me !! I wonder " hand on heart" how many on here who say they " have or did" isolate for the full 14 days actually never ventured out ???? Show of hands ??? |

It may be worth you getting a test for your own peace of mind, we can't change what others do, unfortunately. I do everything that is asked of me to protect me and others around me, we can do no more..

Okay, so if you reimburse me the £18,000+ I've paid out for our travels this year then I'll stay at home until next year's holidays
Or I could just get on with life, Wear a mask when required, keep socially distancing and if the appropriate borders allow me in, complete all required forms, obey local laws, and take my kids where we'd planned and paid for.
Fairly confident in the knowledge that my chances of getting covid again are 1 in 40million + and knowing I've got paracetamol and calpol, (+ my fairly comprehensive 1st aid kit in my suitcase) |

Those that are going on holiday are enjoying life and those who can't afford to are jealous so they rant at them.
Just my take on it.. |

What!
Its nothing to do with that, go on holiday if you want but everyone knows that there is a chance you may find that with very little notice to may have to quarantine when you get home.
Don't go knowing the risks then moan about it. |

Those ranting are aware that public health is a communal responsibility and those "enjoying life" are saying "I'll be fine and I don't care about doing my bit".
Just my take |

Had the holiday booked for over 12 months ! When covid hit we all thought that 6 months down the line would be "ok by then "! I coukd have jumped to another countrie and paid much extra or go away for my 2 weeks in the hope it may be took off the list , if not, cut holiday short and quarantine !, win win for me, i either get 7 days away or 14 days, both much better than none !! Maybe i should have gone down to cornwall and sat on the packed beaches down there and hope i dont catch it !!!!!!!! |

You clearly stated you COULDN'T go if you had to quarantine
You went and now you don't think you should quarantine.
If you get fined that would be good in my opinion. |

Yes I remember that thread.
I sympathise with booking the holiday that far out and having disaster strike. I do not sympathise, nor will I ever, with "why should I have to play my part during a public health crisis". |

I've never complained about quarantine. I stayed at home in isolation back in March and April and as I stated above and numerous times, follow all requirements, in each country.
If I have to quarantine on return I quarantine end of.
I actually pre ordered and pre paid for food shopping to be delivered to our home hours before we got home, that my dog sitter put away for us and we all stayed at home, despite not coming back from a country with a quarantine requirement.
Many people travel, obey the rules and accept the risk! Some people don't obey the rules here or abroad, need to moan and find loopholes.

No I don't think people are jealous. We don't work, so isolating isn't a problem. We choose not to go because it's not the holiday experience we want and also im caring for my 90 year old Dad and don't want to put him at risk  |

"How on earth did you get past passport control without having your passport checked. I have never ever come into the UK without having passport checked. Are you special LOL ?"
It’s possible. I know someone who only realised their passport was still in their car at Dublin airport when they were packing for the return flight back from England |

Not jealous at all, I frankly couldn't give a flying fuck where people go on their holidays.
This whole story just sounds like a massive load of noise for no reason to me. |

Yes for 2 years as you don't seem to understand the regulations |
