Anyone really think this is about variants etc? I reckon this is more about getting our economy going again. The cost of holidays in the UK has gone through the roof. We are being forced to spend our money here.
Going abroad is safer than staying here you tool. Why would anyone want to holiday in this dump is beyond me. I’m off on hols in 2 weeks. Can’t wait to get a break from the tracksuit wearing scrotes, traffic jams, unpredictable weather and extortionate prices!No it's the correct answer. Some may go bust, but others will take their place. Only numpties will go abroad this year. Testing, masks, quarantine, what a croc of shit to just get some sun. Holiday in the UK
Amen to that..I can also name many more annoyances to the list..get me on that jet plane outta hereGoing abroad is safer than staying here you tool.

Of course its about making us spend our dosh hereAnyone really think this is about variants etc? I reckon this is more about getting our economy going again. The cost of holidays in the UK has gone through the roof. We are being forced to spend our money here.
It’s already been noted further up the thread: it’s about the fact that Border Force cannot cope with the numbers.
Hopefully we’ll be flying in to Barcelona end of August. I’m lucky in that I can work from home for the post-holiday isolation period.
On an unrelated matter, Brexit has made studying abroad much harder. My eldest daughter is in the process of applying for a Student visa for her year in Madrid. My God, the number of steps involved and I’d never heard of a “Hague Apostille” until last week but now we have to pay them to ratify translations of medical and insurance documents! Money for old rope, anyone?
F****** Brexit.

I like my hols at home and abroad in equal measure but yep totally chalk n cheese and those getting abusive and throwing names at people who desire to go abroad are indee themselves ‘numpties’I have to agree on the whole it's a thoroughly depressing experience. The weather is mainly terrible and unpredictable. It is a lottery if you cop the two good weeks we get every year, if you don't, well tough shit. This makes the holiday miserable as you have to dodge the showers or torrential rain if you dare to venture out of your accomodation.
Then we have the service in pubs, cafes, restaurants etcetera. This is generally dire, served up by uninterested staff, many of whom act like they're working there under duress not choice. Add on high prices for mediocre fare and it's just miserable. Hardly any pubs make any effort. Just a person with a guitar singing would be very welcome, but aside from the odd karaoke bar there is generally nothing.
Abroad you've got the guaranteed weather, value for money pubs, bars and restaurants with many having live entertainment every night. The two holiday experiences are just poles apart.

No doubt they do their whinging whilst waving the Union Jack in one hand, wanking to Hancock porn with the other whilst singing the national anthem.I like my hols at home and abroad in equal measure but yep totally chalk n cheese and those getting abusive and throwing names at people who desire to go abroad are indee themselves ‘numpties’
