They can ban British tourists but we can't ban the tourusts arriving by boat in Kent...
exactly
FFKS🙄
Yep, that would be classed as racism over here but seems it's OK for them!
The world of stupid …….hey and it’s only gonna get worse, us Brits should only spend back home and concentrate on our economics and other troubles back home. God bless
Well said 👏
If we did it that would be racist! anyone else does it, that's fine 😆
Yeah, the lawyers would be out in force.
Well at least it entitles us to exclude people now. If they can do it, so can the Brits. Every cloud has a silver lining. The countries we colonised resisted us and we left. Now we can resist and hopefully the unwanted will leave Britain. Fair is fair.
The title is bs. No one banned anyone. GB news is starting to become like the main stream news.
Just come back from Lanzarote and the local business owners are very much against it as are the local workers. The British and Irish tourists are far bigger spenders than the Germans and they don't tip well. The woman behind this move will probably be ousted at the next election.
Generally places that try to concentrate on high end tourism regret it because there aren't enough high end customers. Germans will go where they choose to go whatever Lanzarote does. If Brits (and Irish are very similar) are discouraged, they'll go elsewhere.
That's exactly what I was told by local business owners in Magaluf. They said the Italians and Americans don't spend like the Brits and after going every year several times a year since 1986 this year will be the first time I haven't been
@@joseperezdelacruz2388 what trouble is that in lanzarote . Maybe they could stay sober and you starve with no job.
You are so right there Germans are very careful where money is concerned.
@@joseperezdelacruz2388 not being funny but I have spent alot of money over the years and never caused any trouble
Just in case GBNews missed it Lanzarote is in the Atlantic Ocean NOT the Mediterranean - didn't attend geography lessons that day!
They don't know where they're going let alone expecting them to behave as they should.
It was my very first thought. If they want to cut off their economy there are plenty other options for us. The issue with Lanzarote is the wind. I found it awful.
Travel journalist eh?
You didnt listen properly when she said, she was referring to Mediterranean islands like Mallorca who have said we dont want boozy Brits you buffoon...
@@anaseijas3923 Are you serious? Gee I wonder why someone from Spain is going to get called Mediterranean?
Lanzarote is not in the Mediterranean....travel expert?
Hahaha, that's exactly what I thought!
It is GarBage News!
Isn't it off Africa?
@@tennysonfordblackbird2087 Yes
Hahaha what aloon couldn't believe my ears
That beach looks hell. Nothing worse than being packed like sardines on a beach.
That's not Lanzarote, that's a "nightmare beach clip" GB News have rustled up. I thought they were putting themselves out as a "tell the truth" News Channel, it seems not. As for getting an expert that thinks Lanzarote is in the Med - I hope they didn't pay her too much.
I've been there probably about 11 times never seen the beach like that and I'm not sure that is in Lanzarote in fact I'm sure it isn't
Just come back from Lanzarote 2 weeks ago, first time I've been. Thoroughly enjoyed it, less commercial then Tenerife. Didn't see a single football shirt or gang of drunk Brits. Lovely😉
I prefer drunk british than migrants in gangs walking around trying to stolen your stuff!
Not exactly holiday season though.
Having been to Lanzarote many times, when you are walking around, it’s impossible to distinguish between British and German tourists until you hear them speak. They look the same and generally behave the same. And how the government on Lanzarote have somehow decided that the Germans spend more money, I have no idea.
I won’t be going much longer if we are not welcome anymore. Their loss.
Dont agree you can spot Germans normally horribly naked 😒
Was gonna say the term is "Speedo man"😂

Once digital currency comes in, travelling will not be an option you can freely choose. It will depend on your social credit system
You are correct!
that's a really interesting/terrifying thought.

Not going to happen.
with all these outsiders coming here, there will be no brits left soon
I left 6 years ago, best thing I have done ! Even my daughter has said she wants to leave so I will get her passport and bring her here !
@@vincutler9176 so you left 6 years ago because of all the “outsiders” coming to Britain? Your a walking contradiction… bet the locals of your new country of residence feel the same about you😂

@@vincutler9176 You left UK? Here is Lanzarote?
It's not even in the Med - how can we believe this travel "journalist"? Population is not 17k - it is at least 150k. Doh!

Back in the 80's and 90's we holidayed at Elounda on the island of Crete. It was a lovely place, not over-developed and full of friendly people. The local bar & restaurant owners hated the Germans, considering them arrogant and haughty. Some Greeks wouldn't speak to them in German, insisting on English or Greek only.
It's still the same in Crete, lovely people.
They might remember their relatives being hung or shot by the Germans for resisting the occupation during ww2
@@jaybe2908 exactly so.
I can vouch for that, the Greeks remember WW2.
My family and I went to Elounda many years ago and it was great. We loved the place and enjoyed some lovely food there too. The Ouzo made my legs go wobbly though.
We were on a tour of Holland and waiting to board a canal boat. A crowd of German tourists barged in front of us forming up like an army squad to board first.. I am pleased to note that our tour guide sorted them out!
🤣 used a bren!
Same thing with me in San Francisco & the queue for the cable car. I joined a large queue to board a cable car & next thing 5 German guys just walked up to the front but I was having none of it. I went up to confront them & they said they didn't speak English & I said, well I do which is why we won the war, so get to the back of the queue. I wonder why they left😉😱
Germany hasn't changed it's mentality from the war just wears a mask
@@michaelhebington6103😆
Didn't this happen recently in Spain, so people boycotted it and then they were asking Brits to go there. Lanzarote will be sorry. Mostly older people go there anyway and they are respectfull of where they are
They will be sorry about a few british old codgers and drunken louts? You would think the world revolves around British tourists the way your going on lol. Learn how to behave and visit other countries without getting legless drunk and being disrespectful:)
It not normal people in Lanzarote, it's Mayor
Why say they are being banned when there is no such mention??? As a British resident in Tenerife I have to accept that a lot of the problematic tourists are young Brits who feel that the only way to 'enjoy' themselves is to get totally drunk and loudmouth the locals and many ending up at the police station or even in hospital. Reputations are earned and these booze holiday makers will definitely not be missed if they stay away. Having said that many British holiday makers are very welcome indeed it's a question of behaviour not nationality.
So you think you found Shangri-la and can comment on Britons enjoying themselves?
Bet you wouldn't give up your British passport to live in that hole without recourse to leave ?
I,ve been working in a kitchen in Lanzarote for more than a decade and the vast majority of Brits are ok; the main "complaints" I,ve Heard about Brits are two; booze and some " Epic" battles after a night of alcohol.
@@votebritish Reality speaks for itself
"not speaking the language.." the Germans don't speak Spanish either, do your research!
The Germans are more likely to speak English, which is probably (sorry, no research done here) more commonly spoken than German.
Actually a lot of germans speak Spanish
@@rachb373 No, they don’t
@@rachb373 As someone who spent a number of years living in Germany, I sure never met one

I agree. If we boycott it, they will be begging us to come back.🤬
Why?
They will save a fortune not having to clear up the urine and vomit from our young and not so young
LMAO they don't need Brits there, hence... the decision to fuck them off.
I doubt it why would they need to beg a pisshead
@@keithbuckley2543 Where.. In Lanzarote? I'm not sure that there is a problem with public vomiting and pissing from the blue rinse brigade.
If you'd have said Benidorm, Magaluf or maybe Tenerife at a massive stretch, I'd possibly agree.
You are living in the fifties when UK was a different country and drunks could not afford piss ups abroad! It wasn't a time of Es, ketamin other drugs, overdrinking and having to get intoxicated rather than pick up a tan, peruse the shops and sightsee.
Travel expert ?? Here`s me thinking Lanzarote was an island in the Atlantic !! 🤔
You make a good and valid point there.
South Atlantic - the Brits had to free the locals in 1982
@@celtspeaksgoth7251 That was the Falklands and way further south, quite close to the South Pole so not a sunny holiday destination, I know because I have been there.
I advise GB News to check out what Dolores Corujo actualy said. There is no mention that Brits are no longer welcome. But what do you expect from so called tourism experts that think
Lazarote is in the Mediteranian and has a poulation of only 17,000.
It's Lanzarote and it's off the coast of Africa. It's nowhere near the Mediterranean
Yeah, GB News having journalistic standards lasted about a day before they became just another group of hacks
@kfckillie1
And it's population is over 150,000
All about them click's.
The German towel down by the pool at 6am for whole day thing is actually true, I thought it was just a comical stereotype until I seen it
And is it followed by towel mysteriously at the bottom of the pool by 6:30 ?
Pice of chalk and draw a swastika on the towels 🤣 the look on their faces 😅🤣
Well the Brits are fleeing the Canary Islands anyway. Since Brexit a lot of the “owners” are selling up because of the 90 day rule.
How can they “choose” their tourism anyway? Oh and btw it’s the Atlantic Ocean in Tenerife not the Mediterranean 😜
They had ages to apply for residency passes and still can, so what your saying doesn't make sense. Why would they flee?
@@paulfreer3210 holiday owners are now only permitted 90 day total in a yr to visit.. that’s what I meant.
Also to now apply for residency, there’s a lot more things you need. Ie a job with contract, or £25k in the bank.. they’ve moved the goal posts. It was bad enough before…
That's not true, 90 days in lanza 90 days at home 90 days lanza 90 days home. You can then apply for an extended visa which allows you up to 9 months. Anybody who can afford a property in Lanza would normally have 25k in the bank.
@@paulfreer3210 how long you lived in Spain ?
Don't blame them.
They are DRUNKEN, LOUD and DISRESPECTFUL. Totally irresponsible of those around them and the people working at the various venues
They haven't banned anyone, how can they get away with such an obvious lie of a title
It’s called clickbait. GB News seems to hire young interns to write its headlines: many can barely spell.
@@sirrathersplendid4825 well it worked as you are here commenting. 😂😂
It's the intention of Mayor
It doesn't say anyone is banned, it states that it is what the mayor plans to do.
Lanzarote in the Mediterranean?? Travel jorno doesn’t know her geography..
She said "Lanzarote is just one of a number of islands especially in the Mediterranean that in the last couple of years that have tried to move away from Brits".
She certainly doesn't. Everybody knows it's south west of Guernsey.
0:49 Many don’t know their English 🤭
When I go abroad I go to Cornwall 😁. I used to always holiday domestically but not so easy to find hotels which are open these days .
Me and my partner used to go on bus trips for the day or weekend to Llandudno .. they were amazing and very affordable .. but as you said can’t find any hotels nowa days sadly 😢
@Geeky Yes it’s sad
Full of illegal migrants
Yes I wonder why? 🛶🚤
Best thing they could do. We are an embarrassment when we’re on holiday abroad.
I have booked a week in Lanzarote and a week in Tenerife in June, can I claim on my insurance since both islands have apparently been towed to the Mediterranean.
Could not think of anything worse, out at 6am to reserve a lounger ! What a bunch of infants, don’t forget your bucket and spade ⛱️
That’s fine by me. I took my young kids to the Canary Islands 10 years ago. You couldn’t go on the beaches because of the nudity. I wouldn’t have minded if they had stayed in their own area. My self and young daughter walked down the beach one day and some fat pig right in front of us spun around and threw himself on the sand, cocking his leg up and looked directly at us with this smirk on his face. It was revolting and I’d never go back there.
And the, allegedly’ 4* hotel was definitely NOT 4*. The rooms were clean but the restaurant and bars were filthy, especially the glasses.
That said, I really is time these holiday resorts stopped this all inclusive rubbish, they’re asking for trouble.
Mate of mine just got back from there. He said he was shocked by the behaviour of some brits, embarrassed too.
I take it that "there" was Puerto del Carmen?
Ive only been to spain twice once 43 years ago i had 2 weeks leave travelled around it.Next time 23 years ago 2 weeks quiet little place pool just for myself wife and kids.I would never go where there is mass tourism benidorm for me or similar would be a.living hell
Same here! All those drunks peeing in the ocean and the pools at the same time! 😖🌊
Does this not make sense? Any time I’ve been anywhere like Lanzarote or Majorca, the behaviour of UK holidaymakers has been appalling - a shower of head cases out of their minds on alcohol. Think Lanzarote needs us? Hmmm … not so sure.
I thought Britain was in a cost of living crisis.
only for the poor
@Scott Smith good point actually .. I’ve noticed the bills getting higher but not to the point we’re we are out on the street. I had to cancel a bunch of subscriptions I was signed up to and that was about it just to save a little bit extra .. never bothered me tho and we are doing fine with basic income (don’t want to jinx that 😅)
All of the world is.
My husband and I came to Lanzarote 20 years ago and fell in love with this beautiful island so much so we bought a villa and now live here as permanent residents.
And I bet you’re also fed up with always drunk and loud British people who piss all over the place at night too
Living the dream! 👍. Beautiful island .

RACISM!!! Hahaha! The British abroad are often fairly revolting! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
It’s embarrassing to admit to this but I agree .. never go on holiday abroad myself (I don’t drink and I’m not a fan of heat) but I have family members who do and the stories they have told me about some people and how they act. It’s not on. I’d get fed up myself if people acted like this all the time.
Vile, that's how brits act over sea's. mostly! I hope they stop it and then I can visit the island with my kids. Could not go there now because of the way British people act. BTW I am a Brit before you call me the r word.....
I was told generalising an entire country was racist.
Lanzarote is NOT in the Mediterranean, for goodness’s sake, get someone who has had an education!
I arrived back from Lanzarote yesterday evening. This was my first time visiting the island, and it was a pleasant experience. The island is a little run down in certain areas, especially when travelling to/from the airport.
I am from a standard middle-class family, and both my parents worked hard to lift themselves out of very humble beginnings..!
Reading some of the comments about low income families from my so-called fellow brits is really disappointing!
Who the f**k put you on a pedestal?
Good luck to them, we will see how long it lasts
Cheap and cheerful holidays will always attract cheap and loud people. Regardless of which country the travellers are from.
Min 49, Did I hear her mention that Lanzarote is a Meditteranian Island??????
That says a lot doesn't it?
Yep twice .once by the presenter and once by the 'expert'
I made a similar comment, no wonder they are sick of these dense chavs who don't even know where they are...

Of course most Brits are normal pleasant tourists BUT, there is a significant percentage of those
holidaying Brits that are disgusting, loud, drunken, aggressive etc and not just in Spain!
I've personally seen far too much of that behaviour from Brits stretching from Spain to Portugal,
Estonia to Czech and from Thailand to Australia & New Zealand! Ask people in major tourist
nations around the world what think of when you mention British tourists and you will get told
the same thing.
We conquered the world, we become a different beast entirely when we're abroad. It is just our nature. To ban us however given how much income we make for the tourist sector, that is just cutting your nose to spite your face. We have plenty of options.
@@ryanhulme3303 so do the tourist spots I guess...hence Lanzarote preferring Germans.
@@sayitasiseeit626 If you've ever been abroad, you'd realise that Germans are often worse than Brits. They're extremely rude people, they're also very cheap. So if you're gonna switch Brits for Germans, you've made the wrong decision.

@@ryanhulme3303 there's plenty of tourists, especially Europe, don't think Lanzarote will miss a single one :) am sure experienced business people wouldn't make a decision like that without first considering possible ramifications....money always wins.
Go to Crete you are made very welcome weather is superb and locals are very friendly.
True, Crete is nice, plenty of Germans go there too, sharing a hotel with them is fine if you can speak a bit of German, I once made friends with a very cordial old guy over our mutual search for coffee in the morning, and my German language skills are basic as it gets. 😊
As far as I understand it's not about banning Brits, it's about trying to move away from the €1 a pint and full English breakfast scene and building more 5 star hotels and better restaurants. Personally I can't see a problem with that.
They’ll be sorry the Germans aren’t big spenders whereas the Brits are.
I stopped going to Spain because of the vaccine mandates. Then as soon has Spain realised they were getting no tourists and no money they lifted the mandates like magic.
We frequently visit the Canaries and it’s lovely especially in the winter, but we do tend to go to places that not many brits visit, probably for the same reasons Lanzarote wants to rebalance it’s holiday market.

If brits do the same to migrants coming to uk we get called raciest for not wanting them but if lanzarote do it it’s fine
I didn't know Germans like to holiday since they never seem to like to have fun. There was a study years ago listing Germans as the unhappiest bunch even when having sex.
I have heard that countries abroad are ripping off Brits nowadays. Like upping the price of meals when you get the bill, an Aussie ordered a bottle of Champagne and was charged four times the price it said on the menu, it made the cost nearly a thousand quid, he had no choice but to pay it, this was in Greece somewhere.
I'd have walked out.
Mykonos probably
we have your money now CLEAR OFF !
Over the last few years (either side of the Covid travel ban) I've been to Lanzarote and it has been one of my favourite places to return to. I always stay in the same place in Puerto Del Carmen and always go out of season when it is cheaper and probably less crowded. I have never witnessed any tourist trouble, Brits or other nationalities (Irish, Scandinavians, Spanish & other Europeans), maybe because it wasn't high season but certainly there have been plenty of tourists of all social classes all of whom were well-behaved and friendly. Possibly out of season favours older travellers but there have been plenty of youngsters too. Wanting to change, and actually changing are two different things completely. It will be interesting to see if any legislation gets passed and how it can be enforced.
And all the other tourists who visit don't misbehave. German's, Dutch, American's.
Exactly. Boozed up British chavs are the issue. Go ask the Benidorm and Tenerife locals how they feel about “British” tourists lol
Americans don’t live in a tiny damn island so they don’t have to do that BS
Lanzarote is NOT in the Mediterranean!
Puerto del carmen last month I'd say 90% Irish ! They were sound with us its each other they don't like. Weird.
Don't blame them. Poms can be a rowdy bunch overseas. They don't want the feral peasants. Don't blame them for wanting higher paying clients.
Calm down convict
I'm not a convict. I'm British, but there are a lot of Brits who behave like feral peasants travelling overseas nowadays. It's just a fact.
Good, the Spanish of course will soon have a change of mind after a couple of seasons and loss to the economy. I do tend to avoid Brits by speaking another language when in the company of those Brits who do not represent themselves very well and let the side down.
Since when was Lanzarote in the Mediteranian ?
Since when is Lanzarote in the Mediterranean?
it makes me laugh how deluded some British are thinking that they are the only ones with money and they are so needed, apparently the Canaries tourism board think differently and they have other and better options!!🤩🤡🥂
It's because British are disliked
That's right and deservedly so
Just come back from Lanzarote and did notice how few Brits were there.
Probably having to prioritise their fuel bills and other cost of living rises.
there are 160,000 residents in Lanzarote. I have seen Germans buying 1 bottle of water using 4 glasses and occupying the table for 2 hours when Brits are waiting to buy a meal. Being a Brit living in Lanzarote for 26 years I am disgusted with the councillor's statement.
When I went to that boring dust bowl called Lanza Grotty I was amazed by how many lower class Irish were there.
It’s the most ugliest place on earth canary’s as a whole are ugly .
The UK is in freefall
So is Germany. Middle class breadlines, hyper inflation, recession.
That’s not always a bad thing.

@@frosty_soda 'China has been alluded to as an emerging superpower. It has the potential to be the upcoming superpower of the globe. A superpower is a nation that has the ability to extend commanding power and worldwide impact over others and that needs exceeding in various areas of power projection like technological, economic, “soft” e.g., cultural, political, and military, and China is rising as a robust competitor for the position. Since WWII, the USA has been the world’s superpower. Now China is anticipated to take over as a superpower, as its financial, technological, military, and political impact keeps on growing.
China as a state has an enthralling and complex history which was molded by its inclusion in the harmonious act and furthermore warlike act. China has encountered a period of harmony, war, and favorable trade with its neighboring nations. China has confronted extremely turbulent times in history and also faced periods of isolation yet after the creation of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it endeavored to revitalize itself and afterward it continues to rise through the policies and strategies of Chinese leaders. Like Under Mao, China was prospering in turning out to be independent in almost all assets and technologies.
Deng Xiaoping started various reforms and opening up programs that drastically changed China. He energized worldwide trade and permitted foreign capital investment which brought about China’s remarkable entrance into world markets and a flourishing economy. All Chinese leadership put forth attempts to strengthen China so as to compete with the world by concentrating on monetary, military, cultural, and scientific development. China has been successful in emerging as a worldwide power through the endeavors and arrangements of Chinese pioneers and now there are the possibilities of China to turn into the following superpower of the world because of its potential and of the phenomenal progress and supremacy it is making in the international arena.
There have been prospects for China to be the next superpower. As China has amazingly risen in the last three decades and has altered itself isolated society into a confident, succeeding worldwide trading power so now China is enhancing its power and financial impact over the remainder of the world. As in 1978, China positioned number twenty third in world exchange. By 2006, China was the third biggest trading state in both imports and exports and now it is the world’s top exporting and exchanging state and an enormous investor in the USA.
China had minimal FDI’s before 1992 yet it has been favorable in the most recent three decades under monetary reform and an approach of openness and the smooth change to a mixed economy. Presently, it has been contending with the USA as the world’s biggest host of foreign capital. After quite a prolonged period of extraordinary economic development, China is currently the world’s second-biggest economy on account of the potential role played by China as the fasters developing economy in the world and there are possibilities that sooner it will surpass the USA.
It is positioned third in number as far as military strength is concerned. It is concentrating to flourish its military ability, propelling military technology, training the troops, and building more air crafts, etc so as to compete for the USA. China’s defense expenditure has ascended from $19 billion in 1989 to $252 billion in 2020. Its maritime power is increasing quickly as well. By focusing on missile technology and attack submarines, China has had the choice to adjust the balance of forces with the USA at moderate ease. China’s military extension has caused tension inside western states and has been added in those nation’s list which has large military force due to the number of nuclear weapons it had which cause China to further grow militarily.
China is expected to be the next superpower as it is also enhancing its soft power e.g., cultural and political around the world. The number of Chinese diplomats is enhancing that would further advance the nation’s messages and interests abroad. As Xi Jinping came to control, the spending on foreign affairs has increased. China’s influence has been extended worldwide by helping the developing or the third world states by giving loans and aid for infrastructure advancement, clinical assistance and in times of emergency e.g., humanitarian crisis, etc. China is likewise advancing its way of life around the world. Confucius institutes have been built around the world that teaches the Chinese language and culture. Through development projects and foreign aid, China applies soft power.
China has put forth an intentional attempt to extend and give a more prominent profile to its soft power arrangements within the world. The commitments of China’s soft power ranges from well-being, humanitarian support to academic, proficient, and cultural exchange. Cultural exchange programs and providing scholarships to students are examples of how China has been spreading its soft power. The increase of China’s soft power has made a response in the USA, where the administration has begun shutting Confucius institutes, which is threatening the USA’s power.
Thus, through the efforts of the Chinese leaders, China has become a competitor to the USA as it has expanded its economic, military, technological, and soft power and now China is viewed as a contender to overtake the USA as the world superpower in light of the remarkable advancement and predominance it is making in the international arena. There are the prospects that in the upcoming future China will excel the USA and become the supreme power of the world because of the potential role-playing by China.'
I am Irish . Go to Lanzarote about twice a year. Lots of Irish go. The hotel we stayed in in February was about 60 percent Irish. 20 percent Scottish the other 20 percent mainly British and Dutch. Still good value but a lot more upmarket shopping Malls and a great New Mall in the capital Arrecife. The people in Lanzarote are so friendly. I do not think they all agree with this policy. The Brits leave a lot of money in all the bars. Lanzarote usually gets a well behaved type of tourists. We have met lovely English people over the years.
I,m from Lanzarote and over the years have met a lot of good people from both Ireland and England ( not many Scottish in my case), the main complaint about English is that when they are ex-pats here tend to socialize with other English people instead of mixing more.

The drinks measures are large and the prices much cheaper than at home. Lump this together with the bars staying open until very late/early morning and it's obvious that some will have a little too many which can affect their behaviour. I don't tend to see this with many other nationalities. Maybe they are used to drinking copious amount if alcohol. I know many German women drink pints
they should go for Chinese they love their drink and singing but they wont get the money the same they will just put up prices
After making the mistake of visiting resorts on the south of Tenerife a few years back, I’m not at all surprised by the mayor of Lanzarote’s stance. 😂🤣😆
I don't blame them, well done
I went there last year the owners of businesses the resort local pubs and many other actually liked me and invited me back. There was one guy who owned a business he said to me, your lads (English) are bad mouthed. I said you are correct they are. So this is tarring us all with the same brush. I personally felt welcomed.
Do Germans drink more alcohol than the Brits 🤔
maybe but they are respectful people
@@UKSkateboardingI said the exact same thing to Rabbi Finkle.
We need to do the same in Cornwall
and in Ireland,Greece,costa del sol,and asia..
What? Ban British people and invite more Germans?
Well said Paul Benny
Plenty of Germans come here.
Oh well banned from Lanzarote NO hotels in UK resorts.....Sweden a no go area....lovely.
Never been and never will
But they like taking our 💸💸💸
Its in the Atlantic not the med..love Lanzarote
yep least you know your geography
La arrogancia de estas personas es insoportable.
No joke, I've seen British people go on holiday to Spain, only to not bother learning any Spanish, insisting on only eating British food, etc. It's just creepy. I can't blame them for not wanting us...
When I go to a different country, it's my responsibility to learn their language, eat their food, and respect their way of life. If I don't like it, then I can just piss of back home to England.
This !! It actually does my head in. My grandad is Irish and bless him before he got sick he travelled to Spain a lot .. he would ask the locals how to say simple things like goodnight and good morning and he would say it everytime he saw the staff after that 😂 they were so happy with him for at least giving it a go .. it makes me sad how ignorant and ill mannered most of us are.
What do you think England is like now? You walk down the High St. & don't hear any English spoken! We have millions of people here who don't speak our language & have no desire to learn it. So, this should work in reverse as well.
Try saying that about people who come to England. You will be called r@cist.
If you try some imperfect Spanish you'll usually get a reply in excellent English. English is the default international language.
0:55 Lanzarote is in the Canaries, not the Mediterranean.
Normally I'm quite patriotic and benevolently disposed towards my fellow British tourists. However, when I escaped last Christmas in Fuerteventura, I have to say that the behaviour of some of the British tourists in my hotel was pretty revolting in terms of noise, foul language, alcoholism, and indecent exposure.
Lets face it. Brits aren't really viewed favourably in most countries...should just accept it for what it is.
I've seen Germans abroad, they're not much better. Had 1 group, half of them were speaking some arabic language.
Are we bothered
Boycott lanzarote
They don't want you anyway - that's the point
@@rachb373 Yes and they will likely change their mind pretty quick in the future.
@@davidholgate123 Exactly, so they don't need to ban Brits, they need to attract a different type of Brit. They should be changing what they have to offer, maybe getting rid of all inclusive holidays and cheap hotels. The problem is there doesn't seem to be much to do in Lanzarote other then sit on a beach and get drunk. So it's likely that this new plan won't work very well and they will change their minds in the future. I don't think banning is a good idea, because they're alienating all Brits and not just the chavs that are the problem.
That place wouldn't exist as a resort if it were not for British workers' hard earned money.
Don't blame them
