They are all squeezed into immigration queues coughing and sneezing. Then they are allowed in no questions asked, while I am in lockdown.
Am I missing something?

Shut the airports, no foreigners in for the time being, Brits abroad in dodgy countries stay where they are until it all dies down!

its mostly British citizens returning, which they are entitled to.. I do think they should be returning to some form of quarantine.

Most countries have told their citizens to return if possible although I did notice last week the Romanian government told their 5 million citizens who were abroad to stay where they were.

I have no idea why this has not stopped, putting pilots and cabin crew under increasing likliehood of spreading the virus.

We had an 18 year old son overseas and we got him home ten days ago.
Its been weeks now since flights were cancelled in massive numbers and it is amazing how much activity there still is at Heathrow.

its a mixture of things at Heathrow.
some people have been trying to get home for weeks mate and its nowhere near as easy as it sounds...they were talking today on the news to a woman that had booked 5 flights home from Australia only for each to be cancelled.. on top of that price on many of the flights still operating is prohibitive for many ..
then there is cargo.. Heathrow say their cargo traffic is up 200% since the outbreak.
and on top of that there is this 80/20 rule regarding slots...

The 80/20 rule was suspended weeks ago for European flights. Passenger flights still landing daily from all over Europe and Asia. Its insane. And passengers free to walk out of terminal and get on tube. It makes no sense and it shouldn't be happening when majority are thankfully abiding by lockdown.
