Ironing Your Passport

[PannickAtTheDisco]

So I got this random piece of advice at 2.30am from the Border Force as per usual the e-passport gates hadn't worked and the officer noticed one of the unused pages was slightly creased. God forbid that paper creases.

Then came the interrogation, details, whether I knew the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow etc. It seems now that the Border Force are taking the interrogation from where it should be focused and now using it on British Citizens for no other reason than to be arsey. I don't know whether it was just a one-off or because of Brexit, but they were definitely a lot more confrontational last night than I've ever experienced. Still waiting for the "Inception-style" greeting that the Border Force should be mandated to give you, which is "Welcome home Sir".

Anyone else had this pearl of wisdom?

Yes might be the sort who would argue that Black was White.

Ever had a punch up in a lift where you have been the only person?

Never had a problem with border staff. Horrible job, especially dealing with argumentative cunts.

How very fucking dare they and tell them to step aside hence-with ! Tell him in a loud but proud voice that your an Englishman and that This Royal throne of kings, this sceptered Isle This Earth of majesty and this seat of mars.This other Eden, demi paradise, This fortress built by nature for herself, Against infection and the hands of war.This Happy breed of men this little world, This precious stone set in a silver sea, Which serves it in an office of a wall, Or in a moat defense to an house, Against the envy of less happier lands than this. This blessed plot this earth,this realm this England !

And then by the grace of god bade him fond farewell whilst swiftly making your way to the taxi pick up point. ..
