Nah, it was just Macron being spiteful by letting the Brits travel through…
And to be fair, where would people from the Continent be driving to if they were driving through the U.K. to get there?

Agree with the rest of what you said but not that.
If you're coming from outside you are at higher risk of bringing in a newer variant than those circulating. So all arrivals should isolate and PCR test negative after the usual incubation has passed to ensure this hasn't happened.
It isn't watertight but it would help.

Are you more at risk of generating a new variant overseas than you are here?

Odd sort of punishment |
It is a victim mentality to see this as punishment. France is in the midst of a tsunami of daily Covid case, like we are, and are aiming to mitigate risk, like we should be doing.

Re: Britain outside the EU
It's probably more to do with the election coming up in the spring and Macron needing to show strength against us over fishing and also the virus itself. If France was really simply worried about the COVID cases they would ban travelling from America as well.

You are so way out on this. Wasn't it Macron who personally trashed the AZ/Oxford vaccine with no scientific basis for doing this, setting the EU back in it's Covid recovery measures? Why did he do this?
Wasn't it Macron who allowed his minions to threaten the UK/Jersey with cutting off the power inter-connect if we didn't provide fishing licences outwith the legal rules?
Wasn't it Macron who tried to prevent cross-France transit for Brits who were legal residents of other EU countries? Stopped only because it broke EU law.
He hates us and probably would love you.

Macron didn't trash the vaccine, for example?

Nothing alarming in the data. Just differences.
But, we are free from the EU's shackles.

More's the pity. And another Napoleon will likely succeed him.

I get the feeling that's it's not just the EU that you don't like about Europe.
