Express cries ‘Brexit revenge’ as European holidays disrupted

Shouldn't that be "Brexit success: UK stops citizens' freedom of movement, as requested"?

The Daily Express has taken a fresh swipe at the European Union this morning – saying it is poised to trigger a new travel war as “revenge for Lord Frost’s Brexit hardballing”.

The pro-Leave newspaper bemoaned rumours that holiday plans could be disrupted this summer, saying member states are putting off a decision on whether to permit fully vaccinated Britons to travel to the bloc “out of spit and frustration” with the Brexit minister.

It comes as Dominic Raab added France to a new ‘amber plus’ category because of an outbreak of the Beta variant on the island of Réunion – some 6,000 miles away.

As it stands, there has been no EU-wide decision on allowing double-jabbed Britons to enter the bloc.

Despite both the EU and UK recognising each other’s coronavirus travel certificates, the 27 nations must make a final decision whether fully vaccinated Britons will be allowed to enter without restrictions.

The likelihood is that most holiday destinations will allow fully vaccinated Brits in with minimal fuss as countries such as Greece and Spain attempt to revive their economies.

But that didn’t stop the Express taking a pop at the EU for inciting “Brexit revenge” and suggesting the EU is “blocked” to UK tourists this summer.

The reaction to the front page has been quite interesting on social media, with one person reminding the paper that restrictions to freedom of movement was “what they requested”.

“Brexit Revenge: EU blocks opening up”.

Surely that should say:

The reaction elsewhere has been equally comical. Here’s what people had to say:

Hmmm. it's Brexit revenge is it? Nothing to do with the #JohnsonVariant rampaging through the country then?

I see ? https://t.co/xlo65447UP

It could just be that they don’t view the prospect of lots of daily express reading ?? folks descending on their countries in the midst of a pandemic

Story – Another #brexit smokescreen

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
