Why won’t people just let it lie? It’s only a massive economical **** up so some really rich people can get richer while everyone else is worse off.
Still people voted for it without being able to say why and without being able to name a tangible positive so just “get over it” guys!
It'll never be the fault of Brexit. Just as we talk on another thread about blame, misleading surveys etc, so the same will happen with Brexit, and probably Covid, where people will still believe what they want and find some ways of backing up their misguided thoughts.
I would have thought the systems were designed and operated by the UK Government's Border Force rather than the airlines. If so, a bit of a cock-up to fail to design a new passport that works with existing e-gate technology or adapt the technology to cater for the new passport when it was introduced. Presumably those travelling with pesky old EU passports are flying through. Ironically this allows EU citizens to use those gates whilst British subjects are ushered towards the smiling faces that are the UK Border Force.
As an aside, I too have a new passport. I have failed to get through the e-gates at Luton airport on two recent trips with it but in fairness I had similar trouble with my old one. I have quite a common surname and a border guard once told me that the algorithm used to uniquely identify individuals does not always work in such circumstances and I was always likely to get rejected at the gates and sent for a human passport clearance.
I guess I’ll never let it lie. I’m now living in Poland and in the process of making roughly 750 British people redundant, moving those jobs to Poland due to Brexit. Our UK factory had trebled output and export value to around £120m per annum between 2009 - 2019. That will all be gone by 2025 as all of our European customers mandate that the product should be made within the EU. Am I bitter at the dismantling of a very successful UK business, of course I am.
