Yes, probably - but that would ultimately have Boris having to bring in fully compulsory legislation involving the 'must' word - without any caveats! I think his brain would literally explode if he was forced to do that!
He's suggesting that 'proof' of a negative LFT is no actual proof at all. It just proves that you've sent a text or email to the NHS saying that you've taken a test and it was negative - regardless of whether that is true or not.
I was referring to the Sun article quoted rather than to any practices at The Amex (of which I have no knowledge or experience). Have they ever - and will they ever - check everyone properly?
But - WTF - a negative latera flow test will also be acceptable. Just think about that!
So, 'no mate, I haven't got a Covid pass, but I took a lateral flow test before I came out' will be replied to thus 'That's fine sir, come on in'. Or will you have to take along that little plastic thing...
