I'm talking about cargo crossing borders on lorries and how long it took us without any. I didn't just vote remain to make going on holiday easier.Passport control at a major airport is usually pretty quick...

Maybe, but the process is not dissimilar and cargo can be moved by air... and not just the Antonov/Beluga/etc... and even on passenger flights.
Surely, getting out of the political circlejerk that is the EU is worth it though?
Why? How exactly will the country as a whole be in a better position if we leave?

You've never entered the country via Manchester Terminal 1 then?!!
If you're going through an airport and have hold luggage to collect it doesn't really matter how long passport control takes if you get to baggage reclaim before your baggage. The last two occasions I've used Manchester Airport my suitcase has arrived in baggage reclaim before I have - one was in 2016 when I was arriving back from Canada (terminal 1) and the other in 2017 arriving back from Dubrovnik (terminal 2.) In fairness the baggage does seem to be getting to baggage reclaim more quickly than it used to but passport control has certainly slowed down a lot.
- There was a real net surplus of £350 million and it would be applied to the NHS. Farage admitted it was unsubstantiated one hour after the leave vote was confirmed.
And have you ever entered the USA or seen the non-EU lines at airports. That's where we'll be standing next year.
Of course it matters if we are talking about passport / customs waits of over two hours. I've never had to wait that long for my baggage when flying!
Maybe good reasons, if the facts presented to play to those concerns were true, which they were not.
- Turkey is joining the EU and all 76 million Muslims would be heading for the UK (Not True, Turkey was not and is not on course for EU membership)
- There was a real net surplus of £350 million and it would be applied to the NHS. Farage admitted it was unsubstantiated one hour after the leave vote was confirmed.
Boris and Priti Patel were among those to launch the original campaign slogan which said something along the lines of "We send £350m a week to the EU, let's send it to the NHS instead." However, the Brexiteers try to pretend that never happened and only the amended claim of "We send £350m a week to the EU. Let's fund the NHS instead" was used.
The only people who care about that are remain voters!

But you are fixating on the detail and not acknowledging the concerns driving many leave voters.
Turkey might be in a position to join the EU in the future, but the underlying concern for many is objection to free movement of people.
The £350m figure might be inaccurate but that doesn’t change the underlying concern about the amount of U.K. money wasted on the EU.
Picking holes in the exact statements made by the leave campaign and using these to dismiss the underlying concerns is to ignore the issues which caused many to vote as they did.
By the same token I wonder how many people were frightened into voting remain by promises of a “punishment budget”, which never came to pass in the end.
Dominic Cummings said:Would we have won without £350m/NHS? All our research and the close result strongly suggests No. (Spectator, Jan 2017)
as Leave did not campaign on concerns.
Leave campaigned on a detailed claim that was central to the win.
Oh my god I give up.Maybe, but the process is not dissimilar and cargo can be moved by air... and not just the Antonov/Beluga/etc... and even on passenger flights.
Swing by Barcelona airport if you want a glimpse of what you desire.
Non-Eu queue is mayhem, literally hundreds. EU queue about 6 people.
Don't forget if we want a trade deal with Turkey, Australia or India we have to accept freedom of movement with these countries. That should shorten the lines by quite a bit.
Farage won't be doing the deals. They will be lucky to get an mp. Whoever is in charge will be so desperate for a deal they will accept anything. Can't wait to see the terms inflicted upon the UK by the USA to sign a deal.I'm afraid Farage's Government wouldn't allow that (ok the Australians would be let in).
It'll end up in Mogg's fifty years with exactly what the Brexiteers really wanted all along — Britain (minus Scotland if the Scots have got any sense) as the 53rd state of the Union.Farage won't be doing the deals. They will be lucky to get an mp. Whoever is in charge will be so desperate for a deal they will accept anything. Can't wait to see the terms inflicted upon the UK by the USA to sign a deal.
Now that we are going to be a tiny country on our own, I suspect it will be fantastic terms. No big bad nasty EU to say no to the USA.
Can we borrow the EU's army please??It is nice to see that your army will in charge of distribution several things.

Srebrenica massacre: Dutch soldiers let 300 Muslims die, court rules
Brings me back to taking three hours to cross from Bosnia to Croatia because the paperwork seemingly had a discrepancy on the bus I was on.As opposed to the Dutch army distribution history.

We tried that with foreign minsters and they all turned out to be f*cking idiots lately.Health Minister Stephen Barclay with a LLB in Lunaticism from the University of Boris Johnson, has said the solution to a doctor shortage when the leave the EU is to train the doctors quicker. :roll:
