Boris Johnson’s vow to “fix” the*Brexit*crisis forcing musicians to abandon tours has led to no more than offers of advice on the huge new costs and red tape, angry industry groups say – triggering accusations it is “a sham”.The prime minister insisted ministers were “working flat out” to find a solution, that the situation was “absolutely fine” with some countries and that*David Frost, his Brexit negotiator, is “in charge”.
The hardline Lord Frost is “the blockage”, another said, preventing any progress, adding: “He and the*Foreign Office*are the ones slowing it down.”
One month*after the promise was made, to a committee of MPs, insiders from meetings with the government have lashed out at a failure to act which has left desperate performers “no further forward”.
I do like many of the British performers, musicians and bands. I will make do with listening to them on the radio, Spotify or Youtube. They do not have to come to the EU, that is fine. I hope they have enough fans to support their concerts in the UK. Especially the smaller bands that used to tour the clubs, smaller venues and festivals.
Once again, Johnson says the first thing that comes into his head. Man can't even lie straight in bed.

For a country that is supposedly "no longer part of the action" Solly it's a bit strange for it to be the leading prospect of major western economies for the forseeable future.

They need work permits now, no automatic right to work in the EU.
It also means double taxation and a huge amount of paperwork, which is costly.
I am retired, but have been given exemptions in Poland and also weirdly, France.
No idea why I am on the list for France, but will take full advantage of it.

There is no change between the UK and the EU until 2022 when the EU ETIAS visa waiver system comes into force. Its almost identical to the USA ESTA system - pay a few pounds and fill in an on-line form.The UK has no such requirements until at least 2025.
The EU has the same rules for us as every other country outside the EU, it's nothing new.

It is nearly four months since it was revealed that the UK had rejected a Brussels proposal to rescue visa and permit-free tours by musicians and other artists of the EU, insisting “taking back control” of borders must come first.
A report by the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) has laid bare how artists have been left “professionally paralysed” – appearances “unviable” because of the time and expense of securing paperwork costing many hundreds of pounds.
It is also unable to name any EU countries where the touring situation promises to be – as Mr Johnson claimed – “absolutely fine”.
Despite the prime minister saying Lord Frost is “in charge”, the tiny*Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) remains responsible for any talks – despite having “no leverage”, as one insider put it;
Lord Frost refused for weeks to commit to appearing before the culture committee to explain what is happening – and only did so when set a firm deadline to agree. He will now give evidence on 10 June.

We left that's why.
Nothing to do with Brexit ... your hiding behind Covid excuses.
