In yet another restrictive move by the UK Government, after centuries of
being able to leave the UK and go to Ireland without a passport or
border controls, we now can't.
Full border controls have been implemented as the Republic prepares
Full border controls have been implemented as the Republic prepares
(in feigned secrecy) to sign & implement the Schengen agreement.
This means that you can trael EVERYWHERE in the EU and EEA
(that's the whole of Europe from Latvia to Portugal, Iceland to Italy)
without even seeing a single border. No passports, no customs..
no hassle.. no delays.. Truly awesome.
When Ireland implements Schengen, it will be part of this massive,
When Ireland implements Schengen, it will be part of this massive,
and expanding free travel & trade zone. However - the UK won't be.
We'll stand here in splendid isolation, our borders locked for no
one to cross. Because Ireland will be in Schengen - and we won't,
there'll be a full border between us, another freedom lost.
The Irish border, from the North of Ireland. 600 years of freedom -
now abolished. Passport & full customs searches are in place now.
Security reasons only, of course...
As Britain becomes more & more isolated, almost a prison state,
how long will it take us to realize what's actually going on? In 2007,
the then home secretary and well-known assehole Jacqui Smith
famously reminded us that (in our free and democratic society, cough)
travel was NOT a right - and she could 'foresee times when it may be
denied to individuals'.
The former home secretary & abject bitch, Jacqui Smith, who
happily would see us imprisoned in our own country, our travel
& human rights being unimportant.
It's thought she was thinking of some of us needing to apply for
permission to leave the prison, sorry, the UK, and that exit visas
would be introduced. Initially - this would have been with ex
criminals, pedofiles & the like. However, once accepted, this would
spread, perhaps to people in 'sensitive professions'.. then to everyone.
Well, Smith's gone, and we're likely to have a new government within
Well, Smith's gone, and we're likely to have a new government within
5 months. But does this mean that Smith's evil plans are well & truly
buried?
