For your information (although I don’t have to justify myself to you or anyone else for that matter) I voted remain, but why should we be dictated to how much money we take on holiday. Plus how would they police this policy (of cause if the report is true) demand you show your bank details at security?
Such criteria are commonplace if you want to go and live somewhere. Indeed, many short-term migrants to the UK have to pay an "NHS surcharge". Bit shitty, isn't it?
I mean it is crap, but then the very act of Brexit was an act to impose fresh barriers on where people can go and what they can do. We're in no position to lecture other countries that do likewise, sad though it is.
I get that, but we’re not going there to live nor are we short- term migrants, we’re going on holiday for 2 weeks ffs.
That as may be, but those are the rules Spain currently imposes on non-EU visitors, which now includes us. This isn't that unusual, with our own government imposing an "NHS levy" on visas to cover the costs of health tourism.

Jesus Christ, educate yourself on the topic first, this arrangement is for people with no pre booked accommodation and open ended tickets, we have the same system in place in the U.K. and it’s been there for years, it’s merely a check to ensure you can sustain yourself whilst in the country… it’s not stating that’s a minimum everybody should have.

Hospital charges to rise for non-EU patients
Visitors from outside the EU who receive treatment in NHS hospitals in England are now being charged 150% of the cost under changes brought in to discourage "health tourism".
These are common requirements for entry into a EU country.
US have required the same information for decades. Think the Aussies do too now.
US with the same requirements?
The U.K. do have the same rule and have had for years, the checks may not be stringent but if you’re stopped and can’t explain how you’re going to sustain yourself whilst in the U.K. you can be refused entry, I’m guessing it’s the same all over the world, it’s just the headline has sensationalised something to get a reaction
Well, you'll need to prove you are on holiday and not over to take all our jobs and women.
