Has to be a parody, reverse, whatever.

I could be wrong but I thought nothing would change until the end of the Transition period? If so, why the separate Q now.

Because you are out of the EU now. YOu do not get to go in the EU queue. Why is this not sinking in?

Even if it hasn’t changed, why would someone who voted for the right to not be part of the EU join anything other than the non-EU queue now that we have officially left?

Other than because those people only want the parts of Brexit that suit them.

If it mildly inconveniences them then they choose to ignore the fact we’ve left and take advantage of the bits they liked

I pass through Schiphol twice per week. My UK/EU passport can be used at the self service scanner no problem. However, might change after 31 December 2020 depending on the outcome of negotiations?

Because EU citizens still have freedom of movement into the UK during the transition period?

The rest of his tweets suggest he is a hard Brexiter who hates cyclists. It's a good parody account if it is.

Someone suggested that Schipol were doing a test of the new post Brexit arrangements?

But for many it was all about being able to say ‘we’ve left the EU’

So why on earth would anyone who supported Brexit stand in a queue that is specially for people from countries that are part of the EU when we have actually officially left?

Other than, as I said, because it’s more convenient for them on this occasion

I went through the Non EU line on 3 Feb as directed by staff at Schiphol only to be told by the guy who checked my passport that it was not necessary. Extra time was 12 minutes as I timed it out of interest.

Can't see 12 minutes bothering people much. Certainly nothing for the remainers to get excited about as it will affect them too in the future.

The New European magazine;

"The airport responded to Twitter comments saying: "New staff members were being trained yesterday, leading to longer queues at the passport control than usual."

If we don't reply to the unhappy leavers, then they won't get their fix of the blame game....

"...nothing for the remainers to get excited about as it will affect them too in the future." Well, yes, of course it will. Doesn't mean we have to like it or stop getting "excited" about it.

Or is this another example of how we're meant to be getting behind Brexit? (Oh! I forgot! Dominic Cummings Our Dear Leader has told us not to use that word anymore.)

Colin is also very angry because Sky Sports sent him a notification about women's netball. Poor little snowflake, I hope he finds a safe space to recover from his trauma.

He hates cyclists and I bet if you scroll back far enough you'll find that he's not a fan of Greta.

You can almost always predict people's Brexit vote by their stance on climate change and cyclists Wink

@LQ

So start a campaign called Bre-Entry.

However, be aware that the script has already been drafted if a furhter referendum is called soon. It goes like this;

Remainers did not give Brexit sufficient time to take effect

EU are not obliged to accept UK's application. Although Malylis seems to think it has already been agreed?

Even if EU accepted UK's application they would be fools to offer the same terms as before.

Campaign to rejoin = Uncertainty

Uncertainty = Risk

Risk = Reduced inverstment

Reduced investment = reduced growth

Reduced growth = fewer jobs

Etc.,.......

Essentially leave supporters will say remain supporters are responsible for making UK worse off than before.
