Brexit - was it worth it? (Vol. 4)
Discussion

Well yes, but when the queue length is increased because three non-Schengen flights try to squeeze through two “other passports” lines and the EU lines are empty it doesn’t make one view Brexit fondly.
An EU problem that will improve because of the new system they are introducing, the system remoaners are remoaning about.Louis Balfour said:
I was reminded just yesterday how worth it Brexit has been, as I queued for an hour in the “other passports” line in Italy, whilst “EU only” flowed freely.
When there was no one to use the EU queues they opened them up to US passport holders.
It seems to me that we’ve made everyday life more difficult at home and abroad by voting to leave.
But at least I can have a BLUE passport next time.
So they are quite happy to open those gates to non EU countries - just not the UK?When there was no one to use the EU queues they opened them up to US passport holders.

t show if we left, for a very long time. Nothing I have seen so far has persuaded me that I voted the wrong way or that my predictions were adrift.Selfishly, I want my own life to be as comfortable and convenient as possible and Brexit has not augmented that. But maybe one day future generations will speak of me in the same breath as the Few. “These sunlit uplands would never have been ours, were it not for our Grandad, who endured Brexit”.

If they did this sort of thing regularly, I'd holiday somewhere else that wanted the money.
This isn't a Brexit issue. This is belligerence... Which is fair enough if that's what a country/customs officer wants to do. There are many other amazing places to visit in the world. Some are outside the EU and there are even those that accept Brits warmly.

An EU problem that will improve because of the new system they are introducing, the system remoaners are remoaning about.We used to be able to use EU passport booths as members of the EU, regardless of Schengen. Now it's different because we're out of the EU. The difference has not made an improvement, it has had a negative impact. It is a downside to Brexit, although a fairly insignificant one compared to all the others.
Fully agree with the comments above about using the word "remoaner". Grow up, and accept people have valid, evidenced grievances about what has been done to us without our individual consent.

I am looking forward to the first thread blaming brexit issues on Labour M.
They've been blaming Labour for it not going perfectly since the whole sordid mess began, didn't seem to matter that the Tories have had a majority the entire time.

It's a system designed to speed up the 300 million border crossings per year of none EU/none Schengen area citizens(eg the Irish) into the Schengen area by registering bio data once every five years, once that initial registration is completed at first crossing under the new system, you then use the auto kiosk at the border for the next 5 years.
UK citizens would have had to go through this process with or without Brexit.
So will Irish citizens have to register their fingerprints and facial image before they can travel to other EU states?UK citizens would have had to go through this process with or without Brexit.

Though that was common knowledge.
