A pyrrhic victory which ended up a few years later with the UK being allied with its former enemies and estranged from one of its former allies - it looks more apposite all the time. ;)
 
Meanwhile.....

A Brexiteer who was forced to wait in an immigration queue at an EU airport in Amsterdam has complained that "this isn’t the Brexit I voted for”.

Colin Browning, who described himself as one of the 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit, said he was forced to wait for nearly an hour at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol before his passport was checked.

“Absolutely disgusting service at Schiphol airport. 55 minutes we have been stood in the immigration queue. This isn’t the Brexit I voted for,” he wrote on Twitter.

Do you think he waited in the non-EU queue, despite being entitled to use the EU one as we're still in the transition period?

I really hope he did.

That would be funny. It would also be a clue as to the brainpower of the people who voted to leave.
 
Well, it is the Brexit he voted for (as interoreted by Johnson). What did the twat expect?

Of course, this aspect of it will only kick in next year, but maybe he's just trying it out to see if he likes it?

Even as an arch Rejoiner, this story doesn't pass the sniff test for me.

As has been pointed out, he is entitled to use the EU citizens immigration line at least until the end of the transition period. IMO this story is either made up entirely, or Colin Browning isn't a Brexiteer and carried out this stunt to point out how bad things may be.

The only thing missing is a closing "and the the whole airport stood up and cheered" :rolleyes:

Did you read the article? Or just my extracted sentences.

Bloke who chose brexit is so massively under-informed that he can't work out cause and effect shocker. Here's Marjorie with the weather.

I read the article, which points out that some people are also sceptical of the report and which confirms that UK citizens can continue to use the EU immigration lines at Amsterdam.

If he's not really a Brexiteer, then he's definitely been playing the long game, judging by his Twitter feed.

It made me chuckle that a couple of weeks ago, he wrote a sneering tweet about 'remoaners', and how he was celebrating Brexit in the pub. The tweet ended, 'He who laughs last, laughs longest.' Ironic, now the entire Internet is laughing at him.

They can, but did he? Or was there a general snarlup with a computer glitch or somesuch?
 
From the article
A spokesperson for Schiphol told The Independent there had been no changes for British travellers arriving at the airport.

"New Royal Netherlands Marrechaussee staff members were being trained yesterday, leading to longer queues at the passport control than usual," the spokesperson said

See, this hopelessly disconnected from reality stuff is funny right now.

Right about the time politicians start laying the blame for all the problems they made and have no interest in taking responsibility for on "remainer saboteurs," that's when it won't be funny any more.

I can imagine a hard core Brexiter refusing to use the line for EU citizens
 
I do hope Colin wasn't too shocked when he discovers the sheer numbers of cyclists in Amsterdam, as he appears to have a pet hate about them. When he sees what's available along the waterside and the 'special herb' on sale in cafés he'll suffer a coronary for sure.

Oh, and let's hope he speaks Dutch and not in the 'foreign language' he and his cohorts despise so much, when in someone else's country.
