Current Affairs EU In or Out

[JimmyJeffers]

At Dublin Airport they suggest non-EU queues are around 4x the wait. It's hardly pie in the sky to suppose that travel will be harder, and that's before quite handy things around mobile roaming, healthcare, driving licensing and pet travel.

Daft thing is when things like that stop people will blame the spiteful EU.

Once the transition period ends, I fully expect the Daily Heil to have regular stories about poor Brits who’ve travelled without insurance ending up with massive heath care bills. Scores of angry gammon crying about the inhumanity of being made to queue with the ‘others’ at passport control and plenty of saps who get pulled and haven’t realised they need a driving permit.

It’ll all be cast as the fault of those nasty forrins though for having the temerity to impose the actual rules on Brits.

Of course....

You have to wonder what Brexit did he vote for?

Can't speak proper either. It's "we stood" or "we

Their followers have started already. I posted on here my experience of having my right to vote in local elections removed. This is due to my change in status. No longer an EU citizen due to Brexit. A certain Methuselah on here replied that it was nothing to do with Brexit. French law was to blame.

Great thread this

Seems like everything is going well so far. I've started eating some of my food stockpiles, as I don't think they will be needed anymore.

But when the pound drops and inflation rockets you will still have saved yourself a fortune

Me too. Tesco aren't happy that my shopping levels have been reduced as they sell way more to me than I do to them. They've threatened to impose tariffs on me.

I think I have posted this before - YAWN.

Can't see any harm in this being an associate member, no better way to express personal freedoms, however, reckon our spiteful government will stop it.

Might run into legal issues as well. That said, Estonia have their (poorly named) e-residence scheme, so maybe it is an option, although you'd imagine people would have to pay for it.

Khan should sort out London and the daily murders. Playing gesture politics is a way of trying to show he is relevant in some form of way.

I see that the EU are now saying we should return the Elgin marbles as a part of any deal. I would suggest that Boris asks for the repatriation of all of our dead soldiers who fought to keep Europe free as any part of the deal. This is entering the realms of total absurdity and stupidity. Just walk away... Rip up the divorce settlement and trade on WTO. We will be fine, we will continue to grow and the EU can do whatever it wants and look completely ridiculous and spiteful in the eyes of the rest of the world......

Great thread this

Am I missing something here? I travel through Schiphol once a week for work, and that’s not the “Immigration” queue. It’s the queue for the self-service passport control machines, which not only EU members but also (off the top of my head) Swiss, American, Canadian, Australian, Korean and a few other countries are allowed to use, and in all likely-hood UK passport holders will be able to continue to use after the transition period.

It all looks very orderly to me.... A queue that is only 3 or 4 people long. Everyone is facing forward and personal space is being respected. Us Brits know how to queue without complaining .

Is he an ironic Brexiter? Or a bitter Remainer making stuff up? Hard to tell from this post, but probably the latter.
