    Really? I’ve done stints in Switzerland, Germany, and France, not had to learn the language at all.

    Perhaps you just don’t have the skills they want.

    I'd keep very quiet if I were you - even toilet cleaners have to be able to string a coherent sentence together these days, y'know...

    I’d love to judge UK brexit politicians on their actions, but since they either lie, do nothing, resign or blame others, there’s not much to judge them on.

    As a general rule the Erasmus+ programme is open to programme countries which include member states of the European Union as well as non EU programme countries. Other countries can participate in the programme on a limited basis and may participate in certain actions or according to specific conditions, these are known as partner countries. More information about participating countries can be found on our participating countries webpage.
    Yep, if you want it, you pay for it.

    Glad to see the rest doesn’t bother you, looks like you’ve got your priorities right.....

    That would make perfect sense of course.

    Well actually......
    It’s ETIAS, based on the USA ESTA system, and supported by (among other EU countries) the U.K.

    Not required for EEA citizens, but required for everyone else.

    1. Which countries in the EU are "completely based on tourism"?
    2. What proportion of total tourists to those countries are British?
    3. What proportion of British tourists are actually high spenders as opposed to cheap packagers wrecking the environments they visit when drunk?
    4. What proportion of British tourists will not be put off by a charge to visit? This question is realtd to (3).
