How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

They got what they voted for.

Problem is, we’re all getting what they voted for whether we wanted it or not.

BBC running report of several holidaymakers being turned back at airport gates due to new passport rules that apply since Brexit.
It doesn't help that airlines allow passengers to check in online with no mention of the ten year from issue rule.
To summarise: Passports are only valid for ten years from issue, any time added from previous passports is no longer counted so the stated expiry date is irrelevant. The amount of time that must remain after the trip various depending on destination.
This is for Europe. I'm not sure about travelling to other areas.

Passport rules: 'Escorted through the airport like a criminal'

Travellers share their experiences of getting caught out by the EU's 10-year-passport rule.

Its an EU rule only. It was pointed out in the run up to the vote but as ever was denied as Project Fear.

I find it funny as fuck that someone old enough to have gone to the post office years ago and got themselves a cheap 1 year card board passport to nip to Magaluf or Benidorm in the 80's now have an expensive but useless passport to do the same thing.

Discussed this with my nouveau riche brother in law recently who was moaning that his best bet for a holiday was beyond the EU where his passport would be accepted but at much more cost. I pointed out to him if it costs him more to travel what does he think that does to the cost of imports from beyond the EU at which point I got nothing sensible back just a rant about the EU punishing us for leaving.

Yep, this would appear to be the case!

sorry - but this is why Brexiters get called stupid. They come up with simple answers for complex questions (normally in that voice) and cannot understand why the world does not revolve around their entitlement - won't bore anyone with the dozen or so holes that can be shot through his statement

Not the same situation, but should be shared with any Brexit idiot.

Countries don't escalate to war over trivial matters.

Particularly when the matter is only really troubling one of the belligerents and they brought the matter upon themselves by their own actions
