I'm as keen as the next person to travel but the media are all focused on UK travel restrictions what about where you are going?

What type of holiday will you have if the bars and restaraunts are closed or you have to wear a mask outside? I like going to museums, art galleries, churches and other POI will they be open?

It's too early to tell maybe by May when the UK will allow us to travel it will be clearer until then I am not booking anything especially as my travel insurance has changed and it is now harder to claim back.

That's a shame, hopefully she'll be OK. My mum has had hers - recovering from serious cancer so was a priority. Lives in Worcestershire. My Brother-in-Law who is 69 has had his and my sister has had hers, as she works for the NHS.
If they were here in Ireland, then no chance they would have had them. The news last night was all about how the entire cause of the current lockdown is the UK variant. They love to get the anti-British/Brexit digs in. However, they are not able to crow how we are far worse at dealing with it than the North or the British mainland so simply skirted those issues.
Isn’t it a surprise that with all those EU officials and literally thousands of bureaucrats and employees, that the EU is struggling to organise things. One might wonder whether red tape or corruption or incompetence is to blame, but God forbid we criticise our EU betters and masters.
In the meantime, isn't it a surprise that the French are completely clueless and disorganised. They're usually highly efficient in everything they do.

‘Greece is in “technical” talks with the UK over allowing Britons carrying a vaccine passport to travel to its tourist hotspots from May despite concerns in Brussels and other EU capitals.‘

Doesn’t look like the great unwashed will be pouring through the gates then

Personally, I totally agree with this viewpoint.

I still find it weird that people seem to think flying abroad for leisure purposes is some sort of annual essential or human right

Not to mention the ignorance that goes with it regarding risk of transmission and potential for quarantine on arrival or return.

Some of the people interviewed raging about having no notice or surprise when they spend their entire holiday in a hotel room, or being fined for travelling etc. etc. I mean seriously? The stupidity is astounding sometimes

Agreed. You would not believe the comments/grief my wife and her colleagues are receiving from in bound “business” travellers. I must say the majority of the great obnoxious are British

Is this about Brexit? Just a response to your assertion that they'd let anyone with money in. Looks unlikely
