Gemma Worrall, 20, from Blackpool, sent a tweet referring to 'barraco barner' as 'our president'

Opening the front door of her smart terrace house just seconds away from Blackpools beachfront, Gemma Worralls mother looks decidedly anxious.

Can I take your name please? she asks, clearly very nervous. I tell her, she half-smiles warily and allows me inside. Sorry, she says. But you cant be too careful.

Its a rather fitting greeting for a family who must be more aware than most of the perils of getting a name wrong.

It was this time last week that their 20-year-old daughter did what millions of people do every day and sent a tweet. She had been watching a news programme about the unrest in Ukraine and decided in hindsight, unwisely to get involved in the debate.

If barraco barner is our president, why is he getting involved with Russia, scary, Gemma wrote. Its a corker of a gaffe by anyones standards. Making the most powerful man in the world sound more like the fizzy vitamin supplement Berocca is one thing. Demoting him to leader of the UK is quite another.

Gemma, a receptionist at a beauty salon in the seaside town, was quick to point out that politics is not her strong suit. But the ripple effect of her blunder was like nothing she could have foreseen.

Balearic islands worry about potential damage to tourism.

Controversial plans to drill for oil off Ibiza have outraged the Spanish tourism industry and generated a protest at ITB, overshadowing good bookings for the country so far this year. The central government in Madrid wants to approve plans to install drilling rigs about 40km from Ibiza. Oil multinationals believe there could be sizeable reserves close to the island, and Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy supports the project.

But on the Balearics, the tourist industry and residents have staged mass protests. At ITB, Dirk-Michael Sieper, head of the Ibiza Feeling hotel group, unfurled a protest banner in front of the Ibiza stand. Were worried about the ecological effects of oil exploration for tourism, said Sieper.

Carmen Ferrer, Ibiza tourism minister, said: We expect this project to fail.
