  3. Who said Brexit couldn’t produce massive wins for the UK?

  4. Good, common sense at this point. Flew into Luton from France and the French used the gates with the Brits. Meanwhile, I couldn’t use the gates at Lyon.

    Reciprocity seems logical here.

  5. A customs agreement would boost trade & benefit everyone more than a egate deal.

  6. Fine, but then UK people should pay for ~~visas~~ ETA, same as EU people need to pay for UK ~~visa~~ ETA (quote from the article below).

    > The UK has already set up its own travel authorisation scheme for EU and other international travellers which came into force last month. Modelled on the system used by the US, it costs £16 and allows multiple visits to the UK of up to six months over a two-year period.

    Edit: terminology

  7. I’m convinced we could’ve left the EU in name and left everything else the exact same and Brexiteers would have been happy.

  8. Tired of standing in the ‘brown people’ queue when trying to go on holiday? /sic

  10. Every e-gate I’ve tried in europe since brexit has still worked. They just say you can’t use it.

  12. What have the brits been up to these days, if you don’t mind me asking

  14. If I had a say (which I obviously don’t, so you can stop writing that reply) they could either fuck off or stop sucking America’s cock and start the regular EU accession process.
