Does that mean that the French will send more personnel?

I doubt it would be a unilateral pen stroke. Would need the UK to enter in to negotiations.

True. I don't think the French government are happy with the border situation, which seems to be a gift to the fascists in the north, so it seems the main problem is our politicians in charge.

Which App?

The EES terminals at Düsseldorf airport are about 3m x 1m x 1m and have lighting, cameras and 2 palm/hand scanners:


I don't think there will be an app any time soon.

Who gets a blue passport? Only leave voters? Mine is black. I've checked with my phone colour app so it's not just my dodgy eyesight.

Is the new passport really blue or black?

But I agree, they look black to me as well, and always did.
