What the petition asks
Stop this madness. The travel industry is on its knees. Whilst some European countries are on the green list and others on the Amber we are being forced into a corner to be tested and to pay for expensive tests to return to the uk which are not reliable or affordable.
The majority of people believe the vaccine was the way forward and out of this bubble and to avoid tests and quarantine,but it has made no difference.If you're vaccinated you still have to be tested in Amber and green.The travel industry is being torn aswell as families who haven't seen family abroad.Who is going to afford the cost of these expensive tests. Make them free for the fully vaccinated adults, and £5 for a once a time test for non vaccinated adults in both green/Amber coming countries
