They know they can't stop me from filming the process and they can't stop me from reporting
it but I think you know you're well within your rights as a as a human being, certainly
a human being who's paying £2,280 to the government for this.
Oh, you want me to call zero?
Yeah, zero, and tell them.
Until then. If room is not clean, please send the housekeeping.
This is a bed that's clearly been slept on.
A bin that's full.
Some shit on the floor here.
I don't know what this is. Looks like it's maybe from a Cornetto or something.
Or is it from a box of tissues?
I don't know. This is me after, what, 30 hours of travelling?
I mean, this is supposed to be about keeping things clean, right?
Oh, that's nice. That looks like someone's butt sweat.
That's nice.
I didn't come here with the intention of having a fight.
Or a disagreement or a confrontation or anything.
But it's kind of turned into that.
But I also didn't expect to come into what's supposed to be an extremely well sanitized quarantine hotel to walk into a really muggy room.
I mean, it's muggy in here.
It's very, very humid and warm.
And it smells...
Smells bad.
Smells sweaty.
It's really, really, really warm and humid and a bit smelly.
This window doesn't open.
Like, I'm banging on the window like, let me the fuck out!
Someone! Oh, I'm just filming this here, bro.
I'm just filming the experience that I've paid £2,300 for.
What's the issue, sir?
Oh, the bin is full.
The bed is slept on.
This is all about cleanliness, no?
Quarantining. I mean, I'm still gonna report it.
They didn't like that.
He walked away just now and said, shit.
Because they know.
They know that this is fucked up.
This is supposed to be about keeping things clean, no?
And keeping things hygienic.
Sir, may I come in? Sure.
Sir, we have to go back to the reception because I meet.
Extremely sorry about it.
Okay.
Yeah, please come.
Different view this time.
As you can see, the window's nice and clean.
Again, very... very sterile.
Soundproofed again. If you can see that, there you go.
Soundproofed again. But yeah, the fact that...
the fact that the window is...
you know, they've taken the...
they've taken the catch out.
The fact the window is pretty much bolted shut...
So they told me to call reception if I needed anything.
I need a toothbrush, some toothpaste, and some food would be good.
Yeah, I think this is the fourth or fifth time I've tried this.
It just rings. I don't know if you can hear that.
I can't seem to get the, um, the loudspeaker to work.
Anyway.
Concierge.
Concierge.
. . .
It's just ringing.
It just rings.
I haven't been told anything.
Like, they just kind of gave me this room after giving me the crappy one.
Yeah, this is what it's been like for like the last 10 minutes.
I've called every one of these buttons.
And I've called zero.
And apparently, whatever the fuck I just did with security as well, apparently I called security and they didn't answer either.
Yeah, it just... It just rings out.
But I don't have any water in here.
I don't have anything, you know, to make a cup of tea with.
I don't have any bottle of water to drink.
There's a fridge here with nothing in it.
They just sort of gave me this room and said sorry about the other one.
But they've not told me anything.
They've not said like...
When's feeding time?
Are they gonna throw some food through the hatch in the door or whatever?
Since I am in prison right now.
I'm not sure what's going on.
No one's communicating anything.
And as you can see, We've just tried for like 3-4 minutes to call every one of those buttons and no one answers so I don't know what's going on.
Tested negative before I left Zimbabwe which is a red list country with a bunch of other people who also tested negative in an airport full of people that also tested negative Including staff.
Got onto a plane with a bunch of people who tested negative.
Arrived in a country with a bunch of people who tested negative.
You could do a test now.
If they wanted to do a test now, you can get the results in a few minutes.
If I test positive, make some arrangements.
If I test negative, why can't I just go home?
I don't understand that.
You know, why can't I just go home?
Let's see what the next 10 days brings So it's 743
I was just woken up by an incredibly loud, rude knock on door.
It sounded like they knocked on the door with a rod, like a metal rod or something.
Really, really startled me actually.
Because I was sleeping quite peacefully.
So this is breakfast.
I'm assuming this is beans or something.
Um... These very sad-looking little butter mushrooms, which, by the way, are storm-cold.
Um... As are these beans.
Um... Some pretty grim-looking pork sausages.
And some very, very soggy hash browns.
Um... And a very sad, soggy croissant.
That's breakfast. It's going straight back in the bag and being put back outside so they can collect it.
Because, yeah, I'm not eating that.
Not a chance. Alright, so this is today's, um, lunch.
This... I don't...
I mean, I'm assuming it's tomato soup.
Let me have a sniff of it.
Oh, well, that...
That doesn't even smell like tinned tomato soup.
That smells like copper soup.
Like powdered soup. Um...
I don't know what this is.
Obviously, it's something with mayonnaise on it that's...
Oh, that's...
That's shocking.
That is shocking.
I mean, it's just falling apart.
It's so soggy.
It's so soggy.
Wow. Yeah, that's terrible.
By the way, you can see my apples there that I ordered from Tesco because I have to order my own food in.
So this is my Tesco grocery delivery that I've ordered so I can survive since I just refuse to eat that food that they're serving.
I mean, it's a disgrace.
It really is. Hopefully, I just spent 50 quid on Tesco food so I can survive the next week.
So yeah, I just figured I would do a quick update about that.
This quarantine hotel business is clearly a shakedown.
It's nothing more than a scam to make money out of people.
Whenever I tell people about this who are not British, they're not from the UK, They can't believe that it's not paid for by the government.
They're like, oh wow, it's crazy they're making you do that.
And then you tell them that you're paying for it.
And they're like, wait, you pay for how much?
So yeah, £2,280.
So they're probably downstairs right now panicking and thinking that I'm a bit of a shit stirrer and that I've come here for a fight.
And believe me, I didn't.
Believe me, I didn't.
I came here with the intention of genuinely just sucking it up and staying quiet during my little prison sentence.
