Official EU referendum thread. Thursday June 23rd,
After an interminable wait he once again reaches the passport officer who asks for his visa. What visa, asks our intrepid traveler, why the visa to enter an EU country from a non-EU country of course
I'm old enough to recall travel to Spain pre EU and this doesn't match reality (anyone recall those temp passports you could get?)- How likely is Spain to deny easy access to one of it's biggest tourism customers? Turkey only introduced a visa requirement after we did the same to their nationals - on a recent visit to Istanbul a visa was easily bought for a nominal sum before clearance

The BBC Are scum. The last thing they are is impartial.
Yeah, people of Scotland tried to say that during the Scottish referendum. Fell on deaf ears. The editing of Salmond speeches was horrendous. People were livid. It was like watching two different individuals when you saw the non-beeb version.
But that's how democracy works these days. And the same will happen for the EU referendum. People of Scotland have seen it before and see it happening again. Nothing to see here. Move on.
Alex Salmond: Nick Robinson referendum coverage was a 'disgrace'
Alex Salmond has said Nick Robinson should be “embarrassed and ashamed” of his coverage of the Scottish independence referendum as he hit back at the outgoing BBC political editor’s attack on the “Putin”-like treatment journalists received at the hands of nationalists.
The former First Minister described as “ludicrous” the outgoing BBC political editor’s comparison between the separatists’ mass protests against his reporting of the campaign last year and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
He said this was “ironic” as the BBC coverage, which he described as a “disgrace”, resembled propaganda produced by Pravda, the Soviet Union’s notorious press agency.
Mr Salmond said he did not voice his criticism while Mr Robinson fought cancer but he decided to break his silence after the BBC political editor hit out at the nationalists’ “intimidation and bullying” at an appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival last week.
