Corona virus Simon Calder and This Morning irresponsible

[Splattherat]

AIBU or have I got this wrong? Having just watched Simon Calder’s travel advice on This Morning to think he was totally irresponsible (even if he was pointing out loop holes with government advice)?

He basically said if someone was on holiday in Spain now they could come home and instead of quarantining at home in Britain they could go over to France and quarantine over there instead!!!

Why backtracking? - I know lots of people find SC irritating but all he continues to do is state the advice already given on the HMG website..

As far as yesterday's furore went he was pointing out one of the implications of " If you’re travelling to the UK for less than 14 days, you will be expected to self-isolate for the length of your stay." - i.e. there's no mention of minimum stay.

As far as any comments about dog walking goes he's reiterating:

" In England, you must only exercise within your home or garden. You cannot leave your home to walk your dog. You will need to ask friends or relatives to help you with this."
