National Lottery travel exemption

29 September 2020, 08:16

Turns out that, if you're working on a bid for the next National Lottery contract, you don't have to self-isolate when you enter the UK. New exemption, effective from today.

Quite an interesting and ever-growing list of exemptions going on there.

I though this would be about if you win the lottery you are exempt.

This begs the question, why would someone be travelling from outside the UK to put in a tender for the UK lottery?

Why indeed...

It could also be that you're from within the UK but selfishly went on holiday

I can't see any reference that states only UK companies can apply for the tender?

Camelot, the current holders of the Lotto franchise in the UK are Canadian. This means the profits have been going to boost Canadians pensions for a very long time.

Is there anything left in this country that is not foreign owned ?

Even water companies are owned by some Middle East sovereign fund.

Very little is still owned by British companies or British shareholders. Mostly our infrastructure is owned by large sovereign wealth funds, private venture capital companies and foreign holdings companies.

Blame the UK governments of the last 50 years.
