@dick_turpin @Waxingtonknee I never said it was *all* Brexits fault. But Brexit is a significant reason it has got worse. To say that Brexit is not part of the problem is fallacious.

@dick_turpin @Waxingtonknee Except of the places where French passport control operates in the UK, eg: St Pancras.

The entry / exit stamping takes significantly more time. That is a direct result of Brexit.

There are solutions, but exiting the UK and entering the EU is now slower or more expensive, than it was a few years ago.

Maybe if we'd had a better negotiator, it could have been better. But what is true is this is as a result of Brexit.

We're currently working on a couple ourselves ;)

As I hear Johnson justify his rule-breaking by claiming he was working really hard, I can't help thinking of all the NHS staff who worked all hours, in difficult and dangerous conditions and didn't break the rules he made.
This must be sickening for them.

@bigcalm or give openSUSE Tumbleweed a whirl. That's always very shiny new stuff, and still very stable in my experience.
