Exactly. It was always intended to disadvantage citizens of third party countries.
The fuckwits with scrambled brains, yet still allowed to vote, made our country a third party one.

I thought you said the intention was to take a cut of the large economy next door.. because of the words you used when you said that. Maybe they were originally going after Moldova but pivoted?
We do allow EU folks to use e gates at our airports same as us.
It's to leverage disadvantage against any third country. You mentioned the large economy next door, so I contextualised the argument to refer to your specific point of reference. Which I thought would help, as you only seemed to be viewing it from the perspective of convenience to UK travellers, from that economy.
But there's more to free movement than that. And, presumably, regarding e gates, the government at the time decided they'd rather minimise the queues than fight for our right to use e gates in Europe (I doubt it was even on their radar as a consideration, given they just wanted it over with).

I don't believe that there was ever a serious intention to put in the infrastructure that the rhetoric demanded.....and nor was there a concern to achieve access to, or parity with, other countries. It was just about making us a big captive rental market for international business partners to exploit.
The disappointing news is that despite them being a gun nation, the Yanks remain piss poor shots.
Dunno, wasn't the goal achieved, fuss created, "fight fight fight" etc?
The report into healthy lifespans in the news today is pretty shocking. I'm doing retirement planning at the moment and am already older than the Blackpool figure for a healthy age.
The UK has deep and widening inequalities in healthy life expectancy. It is highest in wealthy Richmond upon Thames, London, where the average man enjoys 69.3 years and average woman 70.3 years in good health. However, in contrast, an average man in Blackpool gets just 50.9 years and the average woman in Hartlepool only 51.2 years.
Does that Hartlepool(s) statistics mention monkeys and hanging?

No mention of monkey life expectancy, no. Shit stats tbh.
Whether you're a royalist or not, King Charlie is playing blinder his speech. Lots of pointed but not contentious phrasing. But I wish the yanks would give the performative standing applause a break.
I’ve just seen a clip of a group of Asians walking along a street with Reform placards chanting ‘Reform’.
The mind boggles.

You do know who the Reform Home Affairs spokesman is, right? And who the Education spokesman is?
Seriously, speaking as an Asian, some of the worst racist cunts I know are Asian. They somehow think they will be exempt from the genocide/repatriation. They are well off but very thick. Amd are cunts.
The Leopards Eating People's Faces Party has never been stronger at the polls.

I drove an American down to Heathrow last week and was telling him about the party and how “I didn’t think leopards would eat my face!”
He was most amused.
