(1) Whether there is a new SI that basically makes it illegal to travel internationally commensurate with the current restrictions (which prohibit it based on the stay at home order barring
(2) If yes, whether that is actually enforced, particularly at departure as is currently reported at least on a sporadic basis? I'm much likely to be discouraged from traveling on holiday if I risk being turned back by police at security (and presumably losing a bunch of money on non-refundable reservations) vs. just paying a fine if a UKBF agent isn't happy with me on return.
(3) If no, and its just no overnight order, is that being enforced in an airport? E.g., would I have to show proof of a same day return ticket if I wasn't able to prove I was traveling under an acceptable reason for an overnight stay?
1) maybe, as noted Scotland have done this already so it is easily done if that is what is wanted.
2) red herring, are we only following laws which are enforced now? if the only thing dissuading you is the risk of being stopped then that speaks to your own attitude I am afraid (and is frankly an insult to all of us who are following the restrictions for nearly a year without deciding what we can get away with based on expected enforcement).
3) same as 2.
