Happens a lot during peak times. Nothing to see.
Long queues and delays expected at most European airports this summer
Long queues for check-in and security are expected to continue over the summer, aviation experts have warned, as increased demand puts pressure on European airportswww.euronews.com
While each airport is unique, the underlying reason for delays has been “the impossibility of scaling up staffing” to the required levels, says the joint statement from ACI Europe director general Olivier Jankovec and Fabio Gamba, MD of ASA (Airport Services Association).
It appears he's having trouble lighting the oven, let alone preparing the 'oven-ready' deal as promised.
Despite what the right wing press and the ERG have to say, the EU hasn't made anything worse for us at all. This country's stupid and irresponsible government chose to leave the single market and the customs union in almost the harshest way possible, and that's what the problem is, not the EU. HMG have placed this country in the position of being what the EU regards as a "third country", just like Libya, Columbia or Liberia are - and the EU has always imposed restrictions on imports from third countries. When we were in the single market and customs union we benefitted from this arrangement by dint of trade protection, reduction in paperwork, etc. Now we are "outside of the tent, p1ssing in", so to speak, people should hardly be surprised that we face the same sort of barriers that other third countries face - that's one of the costs of Brexit that idiots like Frost and Rees-Mogg couldn't ever be bothered to explain to anyone (and one of the main reasons why I voted Remain, because I did have an inkling of what would happen). The plain fact of the matter is that it is economic suicide for any economy to deliberately build walls between itself and its' biggest export market/supplier in the way we have done - that fact alone speaks volumes as to the utter incompetence of the current administration
If we managed our own country properly (and granted, we don't) we shouldn't have to depend on other countries.
We have millions of our own jobless, why do we need foreign workers?
We have been dependent on other countries for food since at least Victorian times. The need to import food, such as Canadian wheat and New Zealand lamb, etc was long established well before we joined the EU. We also don't have the climate required for cost-effective growing of crops such as tomatoes in colder, darker months. People in my age group can well remember how seasonal a lot of vegetables were with winter being quite boring in terms of variety where I was brought up
Then maybe the government should get off its' fat, useless arris and train them? Even on a building site some knowledge and training is necessary even for a labourer. I know that the middle classes think otherwise, but it simply isn't true. We might have millions of jobs, but we have millions of unemployed whose qualifications, if any, match no job vacancies at all.
Utter bolax.
