Re: Impossible for Expats to return to UK?
I think Philby went to Eton and wasn't Nicolas Elliot also there ( his father was Headmaster) ? Philby was operating head of MI5 whilst secretly handing thousands of documents to the Russian. Along with the rest of his Eton chums they were responsible for the death of hundreds of lives including people who they befriended for years.

DavelovesDee,Does that mean I can book a flight to UK & say I don´t want to fill in a form to show where I shall be self-isolating & I can still go as I am a British National?

If you don't want to fill out the contact tracing form, don't bother coming back. It's so that in the event of a passenger on the flight tests positive, they can let other passengers know to be able to get tested. It's for your safety.

This was only a random question Dave.I just couldn´t imagine anyone actually being allowed to board a flight if they were making such a protest as obviously they are not going to reveal honestly where they are staying on arrival.And ,unfortunately,I am leaving Spain permanently this time due to family circumstances.

I flew back to the UK in August, nobody this side or on the aeroplane, Ryanair, asked about the locator form. The only check was at passport control in the UK, those who didn't have the form completed on their smartphone ie no form or paper ones, were given ipads and could not proceed until they were completed.
Of course, all of these forms rely on the honesty of the person completing them

It is some years since I took a flight back to UK so,for me,I am trying to get a picture of what to expect in these times.Sadly my daughter died & I am returning as my granddaughter will not want to inherit a foreign property.
