Chap here organisating a petition about the unfairness of it all. On balance I think that it is a case of supply and demand - legitimate business practice and certainly not a suitable subject for a parliamentary debate.
If you don't like the prices mate, go on a cheaper kind of holiday. But of course this price hike does affect those grandparents lucky enough to take their GKds away on holiday.

Grand-kids and their parents go camping to East French coast or our Jura mountaint in their own tent and totally self-catering (due to severe allergies- so restaurants are out) every year- they just love it. They book ferry early and it is not more expensive than going to Southern uk.
