A thank you to Brexiteers.

I am sure I read that a) the stamping thing was at the request of the U.K. govt. (The SER bloke says that their system is a simple ‘fingerprint’ of passport in/ out )
b) that you are right that the self service gates do work for U.K. passports at Faro and Lisbon . ( I’ll see if I can find the big in one of the Brit Portuguese papers )

Anyway it’s true to say that some travellers have suffered and will suffer some relatively minor inconvenience .

I have done a helpful google for you.
Some airports in Portugal and Spain do have e-gates that UK passport holders can use but the rest of the EU apparently does not.

The airports in Spain and Portugal with electronic gates for UK passports

Brexit means electronic passport gates in most EU countries no longer accept British passports, but Spain and Portugal do at major airports

And the stamping thing is about checking that we haven't overstayed our 90 day limit per year else they can fine us, by assuming we have overstayed if they cant see the stamp, so why would it be at the request of UK gov i'm not sure that makes any sense does it.

No the swiping of the passport into the system ( in/out) is the computer check according to the SEF bloke . I had my passport stamped after I landed in a late flight . The bloke was talking to a colleague and didn’t look at the residencia on my phone which I put on the counter , swiped and stamped the passport . I told him I’d got a residencia , he scanned it and said yes it’s in our system like everything, don’t worry about it. The SEF fella who I met weeks confirmed that’s the process .

Can’t remember where I read it was the UKs request .

Never had inconvenience or queues before Brexit ? Oh no they just waived you through down a path of scattered rise petals , putting garlands round your neck . Run free we are in the EU. they cheered .

Wrong; the answer was "control". :D

thats all extremely interesting.

Portugal's doing quite a bit better than Uk at the moment i see, inflationwise. that's nice.
 
at least we have a sort of benefit of brexit


you can get through Lisbon airport a little bit quicker


but not as quick as before the vote

When I flew from France to Prague and back early in the year, there were big queues at the EU lines but nobody at the non-EU lines so I got through quicker than everyone else. Swings and roundabouts

There are no passport checks between France and Czechia.
 
I’m impressed at how much Bimble travels that an extra 20 minutes here and there is such a big fucking deal.

Maybe check yer carbon footprint?

From the man who sells flights for a living! Very good. I don’t travel that much I just carry the passports everywhere, like to Tesco’s, clutching them tightly to remind me that I can leave brexit island anytime.

Doesn’t sound unhinged in the slightest.

Every now and then they do though, they just don’t advertise it in advance, often when they are fearing an influx of brown skinned people they throw up the barriers, but that’s just cos they’re racist.

Same issues here tbh for most Portuguese ( aside from the fact we’ve had the same PM for what seems to be an eternity) inflation, diesel and petrol costs , building material costs , effect on wheat prices due to war , veg prices up due to drought , strikes on the railways etc .
Weather and food are better though

Isn't he a failed science teacher who now does videos on the economy on YouTube? He was on the speaker's list for yesterday's rally.

Yes, although I'm not sure it's fair to say he's a failed teacher (he could be, I won't make that assumption)

but he's just another supertanskii type: slags off Corbyn while ignorant of the fact that his hero Keith caused Labour's shitty brexit position which contributed to their election loss. etc etc

who cares
