So true

 

[kossoff]

As I presumed would happen. Hopefully no charge for those of us with residencia.

Costs £6 just to go thru security at DTV

 

[Two million voices]

If only there was a dedicated sub forum to discuss such political matters.

 

[Narraback]

Apart from that appalling rag who is truly outraged at this? We have to pay every time we book into a Spanish hotel and no one seems to give a fuck.

That's an airport subsidy as there's not sufficient numbers going through. If they wanted to save money, they could get rid of the twenty odd people in security.

I'm sure the Spanish, French and Italian tourist boards completely agree with the Brusses bureaucrats on this one
Plus James Obrien is a tedious prick.

And therein lies the problem with the EU because there's next to fuck all they could do about it. Great giving up your sovereignty isn't it?

Like a reciprocal arrangement for instance,
or even better still charge them buggers double for the privilege of visiting the U.K.

Or show them we're better than that and not charge them at all

 

[Slow joe]

Its not really the end of the world like. Spend 2k on a holiday but baulk at the £6 visa charge.

 

[Goat Eyes]

Most places charge a tourist tax anyway.

Why should it be free to go through security etc.

 

[Narraback]

Distinct lack of outrage on this thread.

 

[Jimmer13]

Easy book elsewhere abroad where they want your custom and the monues you will spend while there.

If numbers drop they will soon change their minds. Charge £6.00 and because if it potentially lose hundreds or thousands.

You can shop with your feet come on down the choice is yours.

I'm sure that they won't mind. Kids aren't going to give up their jollies because it costs the price of a pint more to get there. People who visit France will pay it and spend the holiday agreeing with the locals about how stupid this all is.

I wouldn't be so sure, and more importantly, the fact still remains they had no say in it. Also, do really think there's no eurosceptics in France?

Macron won't say a word about it. It will pass over quietly, people might moan about it but it will only put a petulant few off. Where are they going to go? Iceland? Mind you, Norway is nice but a tad pricy. And then there's the mosquitos.

No problem here. They have to prop up their economies somehow.

I'm off to Majorca later this year and there's a €2 per person per day tax you have to pay, (just introduced) same in Sardinia last year, so I presume this extra will go on top; it all mounts up.

We’ve been a soft touch for far too long, especially with the NHS.

Time to wake up and get real.
