Oh goody, biometrics at the border… yet another brexit benefit
If it's of any consolation. It's mostly performative.
Visit other countries instead?
I'm a caravanner, if i want to go abroad while dragging my shed then i more or less have to go through the EU.
So I'll just leave my girlfriend at home whenever I want to go and see my family :)
No. You just don't have to be so whiny about it. It will take you a fraction of a moment to do your biometrics compared to the joy you'll get by having your girlfriend see your family. What are you going to prioritise? It's really not a big deal. And if you think it is then, seriously, visit other countries. Europe is not the be all and the end all.
I won't have to do any biometrics but you are the one who said to just go visit some other countries lol
I won't either. Irish grandmother 😊🇮🇪. But I thought you said your girlfriend would need to? Sorry did I misunderstand you?
Are you feeling ok lol, you literally said people should not visit europe and go elsewhere
Hmmm 🧐. No I said it's not a big deal to visit Europe and do biometrics for literally 60 seconds at the border. Like what is the big deal about that? Feel free to visit of you want. And if you don't want to (for whatever reason) then don't. I'm not telling you to do anything 🤷.
TAKING ARE CUNTRY BACK!

Wouldn't it be better to call it "CORRIE NATION" instead of platty joobs.
Jokes aside though, you can be pro EU and pro Monarchy
yeah, it didnt really work so i deleted it
