Even A Border May Be Too Strong

Britain's independence from the Strasbrussels dictatorship may not yet have brought quite the advertised benefits, but nearly half of His Majesty's subjects are still charitable enough to try and muddle through as if the beastly Euro-wogs were reasonable types after all. Nearly forty per cent of regular travellers and nearly fifty per cent of the master race are unaware of the biometric checking system which will be imposed upon non-EU citizens from tomorrow, and which will involve photographing, fingerprint-scanning and interrogation as to whether they can both support themselves during their stay and depart without requiring deportation. This means, of course, that travellers in the EU will be treated as foreigns even if they come from the mainland; while those who overstay the limit of ninety days in a hundred-and-eighty-day period may even be treated like immigrants. Although another six months will be required before the scheme is fully operational, it remains as yet unclear whether this will be long enough for British patriots to assimilate the full scope of the injustice.
