Families rounded up at the airport

Forty British children have been rounded up under draconian swine flu regulations as they arrived in to start holidays in Egypt.

Officials with heat-monitoring equipment are forcibly holding anyone with temperatures of more than 38C.

Horrified parents, taking half-term breaks, have had to watch helplessly as their tearful children are frogmarched off by armed guards to a squalid makeshift hospital at the Sharm el Sheikh resort.

Eight-year-old Ellie Kemp and her father, Chris, 36, of Wellingborough, Northants, were taken to a "hellhole" hospital where they had to share a bed and were fed rice and water along with at least 30 other British families. It meant they missed their week-long allinclusive holiday, for which the family paid £3,000. Mum Sarah insists Ellie had no symptoms. Sarah said: "This bloke just grabbed my daughter who was screaming. It was the most frightening experience of my life. She and her dad were stuck in a room you wouldn't leave your dog in."

Eleven-year-old Millie Powell, of Rochester, Kent, was also taken from her parents by force. Her worried aunt, Claire Harvey said: "Her parents were terrified Millie would catch something in the hospital."

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "There is little we can do as these measures have been put in place by the Egyptian authorities."

Looks like it's starting.

[drhemp]

That's insane.

The swine flu "pandemic" looks like it's maybe coinciding with the Lisbon Treaty being ratified. I think that I heard it said that the Lisbon Treaty will be ratified within about a month from now.

boycott egypt.... see how long they want to turn down our money.

[candygirl]

WTF little they could do what???
Like the home office can't fly them back home?????
These are children for gods sake
This is just the start isn't it is this to get us used to force do u think?

This Swine Flu is a lie and the vaccination agenda becomes more aggressive before they attempt to make it mandatory. If enough people refuse it then the game is up, but they may have plans to release a strengthened version in the future.

Don't fuck with the kids you bastards. There will be hell to pay!

[jimmi]

I'd like to know if any vaccine was part of this story. Were the parents offered it? Were the kids?

[gilly]

Fucking hell! As expected, those of us who are going to abstain, are going to be stopped from travelling before long! :mad:

when i went to cuba last month they had heat scanning machines there.

a family of 3 kids were pulled to the side and detained. i was directly infront of em.

i saw them the next day all well and no problems.

[concordewarrior]

Singapore and Japan airports have heat scanning machines.

I am very well afraid they will ask for Swine Flu vaccines to be taken for people to fly long haul and go through airports.

The thing you can do is ask a MD doctor friend to do you a certificate if you travel and don't want to take the vaccine.

There is always someone you know who is friend with a doctor.

Fuuuuu Big Pharma and the Swine Flu vaccine! :mad:

OMFG that's awful, those poor families!!:eek: I was thinking of taking my son to Egypt early next year but bollox to that man, I'll go somewhere else (while we still can).

Yeah it seems to be starting doesn't it:mad: Heat scanners at an airport, WTF - they've gotta be one of the most hot & sweaty places to be in! I don't usually travel lightly (I take everything but the kitchen sink me, lol:)), so my hand luggage is usually heavy & I'm always hot at the airport. *mental note to travel lighter next time*:o

From my recent travels I found Muslim countrys to be taking extraordinary steps to preventing Swine Flu entering the country. Total pig populations in these places tend to be 0, hence any cases of swine flu will be imported.I guess they don't wanna take a chance.
