Passengers returning to UK from Spain react to new coronavirus quarantine

Passengers arriving on the first flight from Spain to touch down at Gatwick airport have expressed their anger and frustration at having to quarantine.

With less than six hours’ notice, the Department for Transport ordered that all travellers returning from Spain must go straight home and stay there for 14 days.

The first flight to arrive on Sunday morning was the scheduled British Airways departure from Barcelona, which touched down shortly before 9am.

imagine choosing to go on holiday during a global pandemic and then crying when you have to face consequences for it

[stoufer]

They must have realised this was a possibility. Hardly rocket science

[amnril]

On what a shame, the poor bloke can’t show off his tan 🙄

So they've been told to quarantine and the guy proceeds to walk through an airport with his mask down while complaining about not being allowed out. Idiots.

[KingCharles]

What did they expect? The Government made it clear this could happen

These people chose to go on holiday during a massive global pandemic. They knew the risks. They won’t get much sympathy.

my heart breaks for this poor man, who now cannot show off his "lovely tan" and has also had to cancel his second holiday of the month

[Chris-hyjy]

The guy is obviously a first class pleb. So I wear this mask until I need to speak and then take it off right?

“ I can’t show off my tan”. The first he thought of. Was his tan.

"I've got this beautiful tan" You look like a cooked salmon mate. #tanlivesmatters

[tonyhailstone]

Can't show off his tan and doesn't know how to use a face mask. My heart bleeds.

[billynomatz]

Playing the victim, when even a person with one brain cell, would have thought ill give it a miss this year !, !!

[stevelee]

People struggling with covid-19, their businesses, redundancy and unemployment and this guy's could afford to go on holiday and says he can't show off his tan!???

[phil]

I cant show off my tan, im so distressed and anxious, 😂
And this is why we had so many Corona cases and deaths in the UK. Wrong attitudes, and selfishness.

[ollie]

I really find it hard to trust the integrity of someone's point if they struggle to pinch the wire at the top of a mask to stop it from falling

[xKolted]

Oh no what a shame shouldn’t go on holiday when coronavirus is still a thing..

[carpetfluff]

I get they're ticked off, but going on holiday now was always a risk. Plus, no one cares about your tan.

[melvinjoseph]

There are people dying and that dudes more worried about not being able to show off his tan 🤦‍♂️

[johnwignall]

Aahh, he can't go to centre parcs next week, and show everybody his new cough and tan? ffs
