I laugh at the French idea about vaccination passports as being divisive, passports themselves are divisive, not everyone has one. driving licences are divisive, not everyone has one, or can have one.
As for turning tourists away,I really can't see it. (unfortunately)

Remember the days when we could fly and bought various spirits in the Duty Free at the airports ? Two different stickers on the shelves, one price for travelling in the E.U. and another, cheaper price for those travelling outside the E.U. Now the U.K.have left the E.U. will the pricing be different ? Ever hopeful for a flight !!

I’m a careful Christian when it come to paying upfront for anything. Even scientists can’t predict the state of play in three months time, so how the hell tour operators can is beyond me.
The issue over Covid passports is now being debated in the EU, which if agreed will need to become a requirement for non EU citizens to enter the EU as well, if not, it would be a pointless exorcise.

When we are allowed to drive off, I am more than prepared to travel anywhere within a 2 hour drive, spend the day and travel back home at the end of the day before being ripped off.
As far as travel abroad goes - I watch and wait.
I pay nowt upfront until it's guaranteed. The UK staycations and jet2 and easyjet etc are emailing like crazy. It's wasted on me. Then, it's the staycations silly prices that have evolved. I won't be supporting exploitation either.

I agree entirely. Furlough to last until the end of September contradicts holidays abroad happening from Mid May.Still hoping to get away this year ? something tells me its going to be difficult

Imagine the scenario - Mr Harry Maggot aged 50 has both his jabs by the middle- end of June and promptly goes on a flight for a blue sky holiday somewhere abroad in July complete with his vaccination certificate.
However, he is currently on the newly extended Furlough, a situation he has been on since March 2020.
That really would be the definition of a paid holiday and there would be an uproar amongst those on the frontline who have not had any such opportunity.
That's why Rishi has effectively quashed any likelihood of summer holidays abroad.
As I mentioned previously, September is the month I anticipate to be the month when everyone in all relevant age groups have had both jabs. Coincidence?
