Any legal eagles on here confirm if the advice I've been given is duff?
Apparently I'm able to cancel my holiday and get my deposit back due to the contract being frustrated because of the covid pandemic.
(whatever that means??)
Well if one of the parties is unable to fulfil the contract due to public health measures in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic, then yes the contract should be cancelled. Had a similar dispute with a holiday cottage in Northumberland during lockdown 1 and he coughed up once I did a 14 day letter before action citing the above.
Edit. Sorry just seen a further post, you don't want to go because you would have to isolate and lose wages? You could still technically fulfil your part of the deal unfortunately.

Seems to be some reports that Spain some go to "Amber Plus" next week so the golden ticket of being double vaccinated and having freedom was just a con by the looks of it.
This will f*** up a lot of people's summer plans, they really are making it up as the go along now this lot in charge of us. Disgraceful.

Okay. So what you going to do about it? Sit on the internet moaning all day or get out there and participate in/organise some direct action?

I just find the whole thing complete nonsense to be honest. People want to go away and people want to see family they haven't seen in a year and a half. People have complied, got double vaccinated and then they make something else up and you have to quarantine for France and now probably Spain, why?Okay. So what you going to do about it?

I feel sorry for the Airport workers and the travel industry - the industry the goverment has given up on.

Quite funny reading Simon Calder's breakdown of the various policies in force regarding foreign travel.
Despite the government's stated aim to have a simple GREEN-AMBER-RED system in place, there are in fact currently six separate categories in use. In summary:-
SUPER-GREEN = no quarantine or testing required from the Republic of Ireland to the UK.
GREEN = low-risk countries - not many of them about - no isolation on return
GREEN WATCHLIST = countries in danger of moving from GREEN to AMBER - never used in practice because Portugal went straight to AMBER.
AMBER = moderate-risk countries - no isolation for double-jabbed, but home isolation for others
AMBER-PLUS =France - home isolation, regardless of vaccination status
RED = high-risk countries = hotel quarantine
The crazy thing is that France is on the AMBER-PLUS list because of the large number of Beta variant cases in the Reunion Islands ....... but the Beta variant is in decline in France.
As if all that isn't laughable enough ...... the Reunion Islands is actually on the basic AMBER list, even though it's higher number of cases is what is causing France to be in it's own AMBER-PLUS category.
You couldn't make all this up, except our government just did.
