Arrived from red-listed Botswana at 0635 T2 LHR. Been queuing @UKBorder nearly 2hrs since then. 1 officer on duty! 100s in red queue. You’d think it might be good to process red-list folk faster, but no. We stand in our special queue and fill border hall with our breathing #Covid
@UKBorder And our red-list queue stands alongside the special queue for infirm arrivals. Because why not make your infirm and vulnerable queue beside your highest risk group? 🤯 
Much excitement when a second @UKBorder officer enters one of the many empty border control booths, but as soon as the new guy starts work the other booth closes... As you were. 1 officer. 100s in the queue. #UKquarantine @HeathrowAirport
Update. We actually have 2 booths open and processing people now!! At about 3 minutes per person we should have this queue processed in 3 hours or so!
I’m through! Was beginning to worry I might have aged beyond recognition on my passport photo.
But wait. Now advised the bus to my Stansted hotel just left. They can’t say how long until it gets back but “it might be hours”. Now waiting - in a cordoned off area - in the baggage hall.
Day 0 of #quarantine going well.
