Ouch so in general taking into account stuff it is going to cost me between 3 and 5 quid a year to go spend my money in Europe.

I'll accept that for now.

Nope, it will actually cost you more. I'll let you try and work out why, it's not difficult

UK tourists will be too poor to travel abroad - it's Blackpool/Brighton from now on ...

If they're too poor for EU travel, they'll be too poor for Brighton aka London on Sea. Best they stick to Blackpool, Barnstable and other such tulipholes

No but do people travelling to the UK from outside of the EU have to pay/get a visa etc right now?

Yes. The basic rule seems to be that if you charge their citizens £x, they charge your citizens the local equivalent to £x. That's why when I got a visa to Russia from their embassy in Bern, it cost me twice what it cost my German colleague.

No... they hate Swiss passport holders less than they British passport holders. You'd be the charged the same as me. Your attempts at logic and humour are getting ******* weird. I think you need a holiday,

Funny thing. I've a residency permit for Switzerland. Post Brexit, I won't need a visa to travel to Schengen countries.

I'd rather stump up the €7 every 3 years rather than admit I'm Swiss.

Yet, this was not the first distressing episode in Switzerland’s recent history. There was also the case of the so-called ‘Verdingkinder’ (discarded children.) Until the 1950s, it was common practice for impoverished Swiss families to give or sell their children away to farmers, where many were made to suffer, both physically and emotionally. Some children were not fed properly, others were beaten, and several were sexually abused – all with the help and blessing of the Swiss authorities.

nice !

Whilst you were in Moscow did you go on a day trip to Novosibirsk to see the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral because it is one of the first stone constructions in Novonikolayevsk? Did you walk past the house of Aleksandr Aseyev?

Who's admitting to being Swiss?

Only passed through Moscow. Picked up from the airport, and driven 200km SW to work with the kids in the orphanages near a provincial town. I do at some point plan on going as a tourist to Moscow and St Petersburg.

That would never happen here...

UK child migrants sent to Australia sue government over abuse - BBC News

Between 1945-70, some 4,000 children were separated from their families and sent to Australia and Zimbabwe.

The Independent Inquiry Into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) considered the children who were forcibly relocated in the post-war period.

A scheme saw children from deprived backgrounds who were often already in social care - some as young as three years old - sent away with the promise of a better life.

Overseen by government, and managed by charities and the church, it was part of a longstanding policy aimed at easing the strain on UK orphanages and strengthening the British population abroad.

Victims say they went on to be sexually, emotionally and physically abused.
