Oh well, Benidorm again next year.
Brits should travel more… The world: GO AWAY
North America should go on the list, because shits going down next week.
All places I was planning to completely avoid my whole life, done.
Met an absolute stunner from New Caledonia in New Zealand. Never saw her again. The end.
Butlins it is then
Why Indonesia? Looks like a lot of mountains specifically. Eruptions?
Is one of them the United Kingdom?
Disappointed that France isn’t on the list. It belongs there. Ideally it’d have a category of its own.
Cancelling my Lybia plans. Fuming.
What no Pakistan, especially the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
It’s weird that this is an article when it’s a list that gets updated regularly as circumstances across the globe evolve
I bet they’re all flocking to Britain from those same counties.
No documents. Can’t return to my own country because I’m in danger.
Imagine tens of thousands of brits claiming asylum in a Middle Eastern country and getting housed and fed by their governments. It wouldn’t be tolerated.
Taken for mugs.
Is one of them Britain? Seeing as though innocent kids are killed by terrorist and patriots are locked up for wanting/telling the truth ?
I wear my downvotes as a badge of honour.
So they can’t get on with each other But invite them all here and we’ll all live in peace and harmony !
I don’t get it, this isn’t new, they just discovered the travel page of the foreign office?
