" Letting their mates in quarantine-free: Backlash after Grant Shapps announces 'high-value' business travellers and sportsmen returning to England will be EXEMPT from self-isolation rules from Saturday, even if they come from a country on the 'Red List' "
This drew a furious response from Labour, with Mr Shapps' shadow Jim McMahon saying: 'One rule for those they consider ''high-value'' and another for everybody else.'
Labour MP Ben Bradshaw tweeted: 'Is this a joke? What Is high value?
'So the Government lets its rich mates in quarantine-free, while the rest of us trying to see our loved ones for Christmas have to quarantine for 5 days & then pay £150 for a test.'
Grant Shapps - making money out of Covid - doesn't care if your granny dies.www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9017625/Backlash-quarantine-exemption-high-value-business-travellers.html#comments
Saw this yesterday. Nothing they do surprises me anymore. Complete bunch of tossers. Ruining my country and I’m angry about it.
The government needs money. So, earn a decent amount of money with the risk of further spreading the virus being minimal due to the small number of people involved. On the flip side it's unfair and insensitive, probably to an extent that outweighs the benefit of the change.
