Here we go again!
This is what the island’s elite demanded as a remedy for their subjects after fleeing the European Union.
The island suffers from a serious disease of not linking actions to consequences.
I am stopping my tour of Europe
It was always going to take the EU an age to get this system up and running properly, as there were bound to be teething problems, as has now been proven.
So, my wife and I have decided to hold off on visiting Europe until Customs gets its act together and book (and spend our money) to visit countries that are not part of the system, as have many of my family and friends.
We are all now expanding our horizons and deciding to travel to countries we never thought of before.
Britain got what it wanted
it An automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program.
We can and will live with this in the UK.
And now the strangest thing…
We did not want the EU. We didn’t want its customs union. We did not want its free travel arrangement.
Blaming the EU for treating us as foreigners is what we call all EU citizens: foreigners.
I really don’t understand this discussion happening on this forum. Britain got what it wanted: out of the EU, out of being EU citizens. And yet, as if it were a mantra, we cannot lose.

People have grown up!
Live with the consequences of your vote, rather than constantly complaining about it.
Registration
I noticed that there were delays in people not registering in advance and then getting to do so when they got to border control. People who had their facial photographs and fingerprints recorded on the machines before reaching the border desk were immediately stamped.
delay is inevitable
When you control border access, there are always going to be some delays and inconveniences; More in the beginning and reduces with time.
On the whole issue of border controls, I suggest that Britain and its society remain very, very silent.
Incompetent and authoritarian
This shows what an inefficient, ineffective organization the EU is. The British people made the right decision, and anything done to subvert their will is authoritarian.
Another Brexit benefit
I have seen this system working much more efficiently than any UK airport.
And if you have to wait, please, be grateful for another Brexit benefit. Where once you were a citizen, you are now a stranger who must have your fingerprints and photo taken to be allowed inside.
