French Turn Back British Idiots

[Gromit]

// A group of would-be holidaymakers who flew in a private jet from London to the Côte d’Azur in France have been turned back by police.

Seven men and three women arrived on the chartered aircraft to Marseille-Provence airport, where helicopters were waiting to fly them on to Cannes, where they had rented a luxury villa.

The men, aged 40-50, and women, aged 23-25, were refused permission to enter France and ordered by police to fly back to the UK. //

I hope the UK are protecting our borders with similar vigour, but I am seeing many private jets arriving.

Good for the French. Once they return to the UK they should be treated like all other Brits returning from abroad: forced into 14 days quarantine.

[Gromit]

Good point mozz71.

[elliemay1]

They think money makes them the exception to the rule

[Theland]

They could have used a rubber dinghy, nobody would see them coming :-)

[TheChair]

Your question title would seem to indicate that you didn't read the entire news item: "the group, made up of several nationalities including Croatian, German, French, Romanian and Ukrainian…"

[royfromaus]

Exactly (on a scale of 1 to 10) how daft do you think you look right now, Gromit?

[gulliver1]

17.46 Pot and kettle come to mind.

[royfromaus]

So hurtful coming from you, gulliver . ?

[Togo]

That is a prime example of the op's eagerness to denigrate Britain and the British people and the false testimony of the groupie who follows him around looking for chances to insult. We are at least rid of one of the insidious weasels and can only hope that the other is soon to leave, moving to a place more in keeping with his nauseating narrative............Pakistan maybe?

[THECORBYLOON]

Who left?

[maggiebee]

This group flew from London in a private jet? Does it really matter what their nationality is? They must have had a flight plan and I can't believe that nobody told them they would not be allowed to stay.

[royfromaus]

Of course it matters.

[maggiebee]

Why?

[royfromaus]

I don't know, as Gromit. (even though he appears to have made up the OP)

[royfromaus]

Only to the British amongst us after the Headline "statement" in the op. Were there any Romanians in the party?

[Mozz71]

Has anyone actually got a link to the story, before I draw any conclusions?

[237SJ]

I thought they were Croatians? Maybe the story has changed since I read that

[Ryzen]

Looking at Flight Radar I dont think it will make much difference.The sky is full of planes.
