new europe situation

For everyone who is fed up with Rejoiners moaning about BREXIT, the solution is very easy...
make a list of the measurable, tangible, actual and real benefits now enjoyed in the United Kingdom, by the majority of people, that have come directly and specifically and exclusively from that event.

I voted remain, we are out and I will make the best of it, I do like touring Europe and will continue, buying anything from EU is pain now, exporting is also a pain for those that do, Dover port is a pain too. Last time I went out on the tunnel and back on the ferry that was better.

Realistically the best we can hope for is a customs deal

Maremia now where to start with your suggestion? Any clues?

Why are Remoaners still so bitter. Get over yourselves.

I am extremely angry about leaving Europe. What exactly has it achieve? ZILCH! Give me just one positive. Please dont say about borders. I really really wish I qualified for Irish passport but sadly not. I just hope Scotland rejoins as do my children and grandchildren. Worst decision ever by those who voted leave.

We don't miss paying millions into EU coffers though. It was astronomical.

Ok so please tell me where these missing millions have gone?

Cossy, I came back from Malaga and there was no queue at all at the airport at midday.
Walked straight through at Gatwick too. Quietest I’ve ever seen it and I travel frequently.

The government of the day just doesn’t have to pay any, simple as that.

Really don’t see the problem. We have to get visas to the US, Canada etc why not Europe? £7 is not a lot to pay if you can already afford to go…..basically one drink at the airport!

Didn't Norway leave the EU, or am I wrong?

Quite.

We voted remain, however no difference to our travels.

Or our overall life in a broad sense, come to that.

mulberry7 Norway voted twice not to join the EU.

I agree

I didn't want a labour government, we had a vote and here we are with Labour which I accept. We had a vote about Brexit and left

Shouldn't GB be imposing the same on EU countries. Understand the certificate will apply for 3 years as long as passport is valid too. We haven't yet got to ID cards many EU countries have.

It's no big deal, it's the same as going to the USA, you have to have your finger prints done on entry too.
Think the UK should do the same thing.

67€ tourist tax for 1 week stay (2 people) in Rhodes in June. 7€ for a 3 year cert is a bargain!

I think in the OPs haste to post another Brexit bashing thread 😴 she forgot to check that the tax is a bargain.

Freya5 I agree with you.
I do this every time I go to USA,
also an ESTA form. We should do similar, no big deal.

Thank you. On the face of it seems to be an excuse for another Brexit bashing exercise. Do they only travel to Europe, so have no experience of visas you need for many countries you want to visit.Not one of the people I know, leavers or remainers, give a hoot about this.

Oldbat1, the person you should be angry with is Cameron, who knew full well what the full effects of Brexit would be, then walked away. It certainly hasn’t affected his smug face from wriggling back into high places.

Of course it's an excuse for a Brexit bashing session. Brexit was so pointlessly stupid it deserves to be bashed at every opportunity.

I don't expect to travel to every country in the world without experiencing some sort of border controls, but it's bloody annoying to have such controls reimposed as the result of said idiotic decision when for many years we have been able travel the EU freely, for as long as we liked, with nothing more than a valid passport.

But think of the damage to the planet and simply don’t travel? Am mystified by the double standards surrounding net zero…. So I think visas or visa free travel should be secondary to why do you feel the need to not save the planet? Or something like that …..

When we travelled to Turkey in the 1990’s they had simplified the visa down to £10 per person in cash and this was handed over to passport control as we disembarked.

This was very straightforward except we did not know they would not take £20 notes! We were helped out by other travellers nearby.

It is a pity the fingerprint registration cannot be done before travel and this would lessen the pressure at the border.

Ronib, no-one online here seems to have any idea about how to give us proof of BREXIT benefits. Maybe there aren't any, and we were conned?

Maremia well I think we’re being conned on a daily basis so nothing new here. In fact, under the new regime, it seems to be accelerating….
