Pensioners trapped overseas - border closures

And you were doing so well too.

This is about what is occurring now not what occured 14 years ago.

Why is it not relevant now? It doesn't matter that the decision was made 14 years ago, the consequences of it are being felt here and now.

Because 14 years ago it's highly likely this type of event wasn't considered.  However let's play the blame game.  Why is THIS government not instructing  their departments on making allowances?  Why in October did they say they had sorted it when obviously they hadn't?  Why are they so incompetent or worse Why are they so unkind?
