Brit Complains of Rodent Infestation at £1,750 Quarantine Hotel

There have been numerous reports of “prison-like” conditions at quarantine hotels, where travellers from Red List countries must self-isolate for 10 days, costing them £1,750. Despite this, conditions appear to have reached a new low, with one Brit staying in a Heathrow hotel saying he has had to move room twice due to a rodent infestation. Sky News has the story.

Anthony, 25, who did not want to give a surname, said he has seen an animal in his room on two occasions.

He told Sky News: “It’s hell. It’s shocking. It’s a health & safety hazard… The hotel has to be shut down.”

Anthony is paying £1,750 to stay at Government-approved Mercure Heathrow Hotel on his return from a visit to Brazil, a Red List country.

He claims staff have apologised, offered him free beer, but no refund.

In a statement, Mercure Hotels said: “An external pest control professional has checked the hotel and concluded no evidence of pest activity. We take complaints such as this very seriously.” …

Anthony said: “There would have been rats wandering around when I was sleeping, crawling on tables & cutlery, sniffing cups, in the bin… Rats carry diseases.”

“At 1.30am I saw a rat come from behind the fridge into view,” he added.

“I talked to security. They moved me into a new room.”

As he changed room, he said another guest asked: “Have you got one in your room as well?”

Anthony said hotel staff have admitted those in other rooms have had similar problems with rodents. There is no cleaning service for the full ten-day stay due to Covid measures.

Oh the irony of having to isolate in a hotel for ‘health’ reasons only then to encounter rats.

They were healthy (twice jabbed) rats hired by the hotel to entertain guests.

Anyone who can’t see through this fake health crisis must either be very confused, not know how big pharma make money or work for the BBC.

If Frances goes red what are they going to do with the thousands of Brits that travel by car, coaches, motor homes, ferry, Eurostar and Eurotunnel? How will they be able to impound so many people? Will the hotels and B+B’s around Folkestone be rammed full with travellers on quarantine? How can lorry drivers pass through with just a lateral flow test and holidaymakers be expected to cough up for PCR tests and quarantine hotels?

Any pretence of logic and consistency went out the window months ago – they know that they can do whatever they like now and claim “because Covid … keep people safe” and nobody who has the ability to hold them to account (e.g. the media and “opposition” politicians) will say anything against it.

Catch a dinghy back to the UK. Taxi’d in by the RNLI then whisked off to a nice country hotel without a sniff of a test, and no £1,750 charge. Quarantine for 5 days only. Bargain.

There’s a massive rodent infestation in governments all around the world. Nuremberg 2 awaits these evil monsters… in the meantime…
Stop complying. Stop moaning. Start fighting. Don’t ever wear masks. “Exempt”. I always insist (politely) on others removing their masks for me (Hard of hearing)  they have to by law. See what’s happening in Australia. It’s coming here soon if we don’t stop it now. Don’t ever stop using problematic stores, services or businesses. Use them more often! Any problems – Complain directly to the manager in person (maskless of course) – then send letters to head office – don’t give in to negativity. FIGHT. BACK. BETTER. All the resources you need: https://www.LCAHub.org/

As everybody knows the hotels around our capital city are amongst the world’s finest. In particular the Heathrow Airport hotels. People pay top dollar to stay there, so they must be good, no?

Plenty of rodent infestation in the Westminster area. The rats there are as big as fat cats.

Saw rats?
Surely not. More probably Pantsdown on his way to screw yet another man’s wife. Or Wankok, ditto.

watch the high wire, they have a clip of someone trying to talk to one of the “inmates” at a quarantine facility whilst he is on his 15 mins allowed exercise. Now not forgetting this is a facility a supposedly free person has to pay 1750. 00 pounds for, a guard actually comes to the fence to tell the guy and the interviewer who is clearly some yards away that they are not permitted to talk. Juslt as if they were in prison, its truly shocking. It is effectively imprisonment but paid for by the individual who had the misfortune to come in from a deemed red country. Something non of the MSM reports.
