You can f ill in your UK arrival card Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney Street!
MOST passengers will simply ignore ‘unimplementable’ new quarantine rules for travellers arriving in the UK, the boss of Ryanair has said.
Michael O’Leary claimed holidaymakers would get away with writing ‘Mickey Mouse, 1 Walt Disney Street’ on their arrival form landing back in the UK because the authorities will be powerless to enforce the ‘useless’ policy.
The quarantine plan will require anyone entering the UK to self-isolate for two weeks from June 8. Here, it is mandatory for people arriving from overseas to provide their address. They are also advised to self isolate for two weeks.
But in an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Mr O’Leary predicted the UK rules would be ‘quietly dropped’ or ‘formally withdrawn’ by the end of June.
He said: ‘You can fill up your arrival card as Mickey Mouse, 1 Walt Disney Street, London SW22 – they’ll take the cards and off you go. So it’s a complete shambles.’ Lying about the details will be a criminal offence and immigration officers are expected to have the power to hand out £100 fines too. But the forms are not expected to be linked to passports, so guards will have to manually check that they are completed properly.
