Your town must have a very strange labour party.
How many councillors does it have? Have any if them had to resign after calling for violence or other crimes? Or is it just the Deformers?
An awkward Christmas for lefties?

One Green Party candidate was shouting his support for Alan's Snackbar while campaigning.
I'm not at all sure how this relates to the environment or the Green party's real communist agenda, but it's happening.
The left are being hijacked by the most extreme right wing group in this country.

Humble pie you two...
Lanzarote. Two hours from getting off the plane to leaving the airport. Absolute nightmare. Queue after queue. No one knows what they are doing. Not enough staff to deal with it all.

I recently flew into Krakow with my youngest son. We spent two hours, 10 minutes waiting to get through passport control. We had no access to water; getting to a toilet was difficult. The border control personnel were just sitting gossiping which inevitably slowed the process.

Arrived in Tenerife South airport to join a snaking queue, took us two hours to get through border security. Adults could use the machines but families are forced to join long queues with no system of arriving planes joining the queue from different areas in the airport. Insane!

The new EES is a totally unacceptable affront to UK people given queuing times. We landed at Zurich airport last Saturday and had to wait three hours in passport queues. This has been rolled out without any thought or capacity increase in most European airports.
Only UK for Now
We travelled to Barcelona last week. It took about 90 minutes to get through passport control and this was just for one plane. They only had two staff on the desk. Returning from Spain, there was no queue either side of the journey.

This has been going on since before December. We were stuck at Berlin airport for two hours after using the EES to register. We then had to do it all again at the border gate waiting to be checked and stamped. Gran Canaria had stopped using the system when we went two weeks ago.

Lisbon in Portugal had up to four-hour delays with the EU entry exit system in December. They have now abandoned the system for at least three months. The machines can be seen piled up the corner at Lisbon border at the airport.

Just back from Stockholm, appalling experience going through passport control… both on entry and exit. It was always so well organised but not now. Why are finger prints needed, and why are EU citizens allowed to breeze through e-gates at LHR, surely arrangements should be same?

But others had a better experience...
We flew to Gran Canaria from Edinburgh last Saturday and we had no issues with the EU entry system.

Arrived in Fuerteventura on 14th Feb, new EU entry took no more than a few minutes. However, at a bigger airport I could see it being a nightmare.
Dom in Fuerteventura
No problem in Almeria airport. Travellers need to be patient and remember that UK is no longer in the EU and these immigration checks are now necessary.

No problem at Alicante airport registering.

We went to Cologne in December and had to register for the EU entry system. It added around 10 minutes to our exit from the airport and was very easy. We couldn't use the machines leaving Germany though so a bit unsure what the point was. Thought it was to avoid passport control.

Went through Prague airport at the weekend; it probably took 10 minutes longer than usual. All the delays were caused by passengers who didn't submit their data at the kiosks before passport control.

I have just gone through Munich airport and it was easy. Lots of terminals and enough Border Police to manage the footfall of passengers

And it's been a mixed bag for these readers...
No issues at Madrid airport, long waits on our return to Stansted
Comment
Two previous entries to Gran Canaria and Tallinn were not too bad, however Krakow on Monday was a shambles. Two and a half hour wait, with police taking photos of faces and fingers on mobile phones after the machines appeared to intermittently work. Fingers crossed getting out tomorrow.

Did you read them before posting
“No Issues” “10 minutes longer than usual.” Tuck in on the pie.
And of course there is an app that allows you to register in advance
All of them, yes. You obviously did not. Busy (high cap') airports are seeing up to two hours additional wait times. Peak times will be a nightmare.
Cream with the humble pie?

Poor old sod.
You tried your hardest.
Not at Innsbruck thankfully as its a low cap' airport.
Two hours average to get through passport control. Phew.
They really did. Read it for yourself.
Apology accepted.
I’ve been all over the EU since brexit. I can’t say I’ve noticed anything different.

Poor old sod thinks it’s going to add hours every time. It’s a one time thing, that you can do in advance.
We noticed at Munich a while back, and recently at Malaga during the summer and It’s going to get worse with the new rules, as people are already seeing.
EDITED: Malaga

I’ve been through Alicante a few times since brexit, can’t say it’s any different. But I’m not saying Brexit hasn’t made a difference. I just haven’t seen it yet
