Remove the tin foil hat and the blinkers, OB.

Decades of Conservative ideology have bankrupted this country. Lemmings have consistently voted to make themselves poorer, to make Britain less competitive, to sell off it’s assets.

The bogeyman is on this side of the Channel. Not that one.

How odd, it’s almost as if taking back control doesn’t just explicitly apply to the U.K. other nations can do as they see fit…

Suck it up, buttercup

Who is more likely to be lying in this scenario - the French who have no reason to not act in good faith or the UK who have been woefully prepared and a bad faith actor throughout?

They're taking you for a fool, OB.

We are still waiting for you to tell us some EU legislation in the financial services sector that is holding us back?

Except that Otis the EU attempting to sabotage our freedom, rather than the UK trying to damage the EU.

They are lying, scheming bureaucrats and it is not surprising that you are batting for the other side.

At what point did we vote for bureaucracy? This is what we were escaping from!

The EU, even now, is trying to shackle us to conform with their stifling rules, even though we have left.

You’re getting what you voted for.

When we went to Tenerife, we also had to use the non EU channels, where they quickly "checked" our passports and stamped them (in and out). We did not face 5 hour delays. In fact, by far the longest delay was getting back into the country at the UK border, after we landed, where they insist in using those dreadful automated passport machines that take 10 times longer than a human.
