Inbound tourism from the EU is already down because of a passport requirements

What shall we do to resolve this?

"MAKE THEM PAY!!!"

#BrexitReality I've travelled quite a bit, and paying fees to enter a country hasn't put me off because I've wanted to go there. But its usually a one off, and far away.

Charging our neighbours, when we are already losing tourists because of Brexit, is nuts. It will reduce tourism from the EU.

Tory MP Miriam Cates at the Nat C Rally - our low birth rate is because of "cultural Marxism"

Spoiler alert..

Our low birth rate is because of 13 years of Tory austerity and their cost of living crisis

The birth rate was increasing under Labour

Jeremy Hunt : "13 years ago, we inherited an economy which had crashed"

13 years ago the Tories inherited a AAA+ national credit rating

It's since been downgraded ** 7 TIMES ** under the Tories

#ToriesDestroyingOurCountry #Budget2023

Just to add, Sunak, the current Tory Prime Minister, had some responsibility for the crash in 2008

He brought down Dutch bank ABN Amro, which led to the bailout of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS)

Daily Excrement : "Brexiteers tear apart 'petty' EU's anti-Brexit plot to slap visa fees on UK travellers!!!!"

This really does p*** me off.

#ETIAS

1/7 Firstly, I've been saying this would happen since the Brexit sh!t show but accused of "project fear" and "scaremongery"

Some countries already need to apply for a visa to enter to the Schengen area. During the Brexit negotiations, the visa application was waived for the UK.
