Airlines, including Ryanair and WizzAir, warn they will not wait for customers stuck at passport control this summer
TBH: Fuck those border guards. Fuck those security guys. Fuck airlines and fuck airports. They do know which flights are starting every day. They are collecting our data. We forced to enter names, addresses and nationalities into their websites in order to book a ticket. That is going into some international surveillance dystopia.
This is totally a planable demand. You know that the 747 to Paris will start at 14:33 with boarding closing at 13:50 and that 221 EU citizen and 112 Non-EU citizen are scheduled to be on there and that they will arrive in the hours before boarding. So why the fuck do they not have the staff available to do whatever they are checking in a reasonable time? Yes, there might be that one guy causing trouble, but that is also expected an can be dealt with. A six-hour wait? That is failing at their job and whoever is introducing a six hour wait time at an airport should be banned from ever running an airport again.
When you play stupid games…
Why would EU do this to Britons?
The EU does to Britons what the EU does to people from any other third country. It’s just no special treatment anymore.
The UK explicitly chose to not have Freedom of Movement. And this is the consequence. That consequence has always been well known to anyone even half interested.
<insert Nelson HA HA! meme>
The weird thing is that the EU and the UK, if they want to show anything to anyone, want this to happen. The EU wants to show how much better it would be if Brexit is reversed, and Britain how much it sucks to deal with the EU. The result: ever-lengthening queues
The EU doesn’t want to show anything to anyone. It is just treating any third country that has no explicit special arrangements equally, in order to avoid disputes. The UK is, through their own choosing, a third country without any special arrangements regarding border controls now. The cherry on top of this steaming turd: The UK did opt out of Freedom of Movement, explicitly, and specifically. Being a third country to the EU sucks. Always has been. Guess why everyone and their cat are negotiating all sorts of agreements with the EU, largely on the EU’s terms?
