At least Ellwood has got his head screwed on. RN is not going to fire on unarmed fishermen and all these headlines of gunboats - French fishermen don't even have to leave French coastal waters to cause us serious problems

EU member states can override the European council recommendations should they wish to. Portugal will , they've never had a ban on UK tourism , they don't even insist on a covid test.

I see.
But then again, for 34 years UK tourists have visited as fellow EC/EU citizens or citizens with transitionary rights; that changes at midnight on the 31st, and who knows what dynamics may be at play within the 27 by then?

Fair enough.
One pundit was remarking today that the French Navy was formed in the thirteenth century after rows between French and English fishermen.

Of course it might play out differently across different states especially with those that have a large amount of UK visitors and tbh although the vaccines will begin to roll out in the EU next year we dont know what the covid situation will be. However states like Portugal are considering things like the following ; special UK passport holder lines at airports (to help Brits from suffering delays ; health passports (to make up for the loss of the European Health Insurance Cards) and the waiving of any visa requirements.

As with pretty much everything to do with brexit, the very best we can hope for is something that is as good as it was pre-brexit, but that isn't guaranteed.

Interesting that the Guardian sees 'parallels' when the UK role is completely reversed as the sovereign nation defending its claimed waters against other nations' fleets.Norway could ban UK and EU from its waters

It's a little like how they have to work in reference to the Titanic disaster whenever a ship goes bump; just lazy journalism.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
It’s not ‘no deal’ it’s an ‘Australian style deal’ so we will have to adapt to a diet of Vegimite, Tim Tams and all the wallabies we can eat.
