Weve only discussed it briefly but family reunion fees has never been mentioned. Dont suppose it matters cos probably not going to happen but hoping to visit asap

What is this family reunion stuff? Fee's, what for?

[arja] 29/6/2021 10:00

scruff1,
I have lived in OZ and may return later this year and you will find that the Health system is far better than in Uk and especially nowadays in covid times . But the family reunion visa fees are astronomically high and would cost you or your son heaps - they are like mafia thieves ! ( smile ) . I think one pom I met in central coast sid he had to pay over $20,000 to join his son and family in OZ - greedy sods ! There is a national health system there though and you get a medicare card . Dental fees are very high of course and not covered under medicare .

Ive often thought about buying somewhere abroad. Nearly bought a place in Cyprus but the guy kept being evasive so told him to stuff it, then Id agreed a price on a place in Portugal and they decided to up the price - not playing that game so told them to stuff it In spain I wondered but they were telling me how as the mayor changed so did the rules - again not for me that malarky. As I get older I now wonder about health care so it looks like staying home is favourite. Would probably go and live with the lad in Oz but obviously on hold at mo and also worry about very high health care and cost of living as now on fairly fixed income. Being tied to Spain or anywhere else also doesnt appeal to me these days and as the pandemic fades there are more interesting places than Brit nob infested EU destinations

Pierre ,
You talk about "elite" but worship JRM and the Tory toffs . They are not elitist of course and have much empathy for those less fortunate than themselves !

[mr.elbee] 29/6/2021 09:38

you DO NOT get impartial regulators in a full blown dictatorship

which is what the UK is now experiencing

[pierre oreilly] 29/6/2021 09:24

Xxxxxxxy, I don't think it will be much longer before Spain tires of the EU elite telling them whether or not they may welcome British tourists. Maybe they'll see benefits in ruling their own country as they see fit too. Ditto Greece.I'm sure we all know people who own a flat on the Costas, I found the whole place depressing when I visited a couple of years ago. The Brits were stuck there then unable to sell with tens of thousands of partially built flats. Must be worse now, got to get out for 6 months since most come back to the UK for medical treatment, so can't take spango residency. The dream of the Costas is now a nightmare for most Brits, and for the Spanish who rely on them (which is all of them to a degree).

Can 'Mackrel' afford to ban British holidaymakers? EU admits foreign tourism down 80%As Macron and Merkel plot EU-wide ban on Brexit Britain, we reveal the extent of the EU's crisis?© Facts4EU.Org 2021Some EU countries have seen falls of up to 90%, with devastating impacts on economiesThe latest official figures from the EU on its tourism industry make bleak reading – especially for those countries which rely on foreign tourism for a significant part of their income.Meanwhile, this week German Chancellor Merkel and French President Macron continue to try to persuade all EU countries to impose an EU-wide ban on British holiday-makers. Already, countries such as France and Greece are only allowing double-vaccinated British visitor> Without both doses they must self-quarantine, which makes a holiday meaningless.The EU loses a billion nights of sleepFacts4EU.Org has analysed the latest data from the EU's official statistics agency and can reveal the extent of the impact that has been felt by countries across the EU27, as they contemplate another disastrous summer season.The number of nights spent at EU tourist accommodation establishments by foreign visitors dropped by 79.7% between April 2020 and March 2021, compared with the previous 12 months. This amounts to 1.05 billion fewer nights.BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARYThe total number of nights spent in the EU by foreign tourists reduced by over 1 billionApr 2020 – Mar 2021, compared to same period in previous year?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org - click to enlargeAmong the EU Member States with available data, the highest decreases were recorded in Spain (-90%), Romania (-89%), Hungary and Finland (both -88%), Czech Republic (-87%), Malta (-85%), and Portugal (-84%).Note: Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, and Ireland all failed to provide figures to the EU Commission, so are not included in the chart above.OBSERVATIONSWith another EU meeting scheduled in Brussels for this week, it seems that Chancellor Merkel and President Macron have not given up on their fight to impose the most stringent EU-wide conditions on British holiday-makers this summer.They failed in this attempt at the EU summit last week, but are reported to be continuing to pressure other EU member states to prevent holiday-makers from Brexit Britain from visiting any EU country this season.With foreign visitors down 80%, and with some EU countries heavily reliant on tourism as a significant part of their economies, it must be asked just how far some EU leaders are prepared to go in their attempts to punish the British people for voting to leave the EU empire.Daily deaths in the UK in any way related to Covid continue to be well below those seen in the EU. Yesterday, just 11 deaths were reported across the UK 'with Covid'. This is only 0.66% of the average number of daily deaths (1657) from all causes. The EU's rate is equally small, but is nevertheless three times that of the United Kingdom.Facts4EU.Org and youWe present facts-based research that most of the MSM fails to provide, and through that we give a voice to a more common-sense approach that is shared and sought by so many people.

Agreed. Scandalous how Johnson keep ignoring/over riding regulators. I was a bit uneasy but being a leaver was willing to put up with him over riding parliament. Thats why we need impartial regulators and why they should be and be seen to be impartial (and why its worrying that the judiciary is increasingly seen not to be).
Johnson seems to think that as PM he can do what he wants and ignore whatever he wants
He needs to go hes a shocker and mo is doing a lot of damage to democracy in the UK.
