Brexiteer complains he has to wait in queue at EU airport: 'This isn't the Brexit I voted for'

Brexiteer got what he voted for

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.

When another user commented on Mr Browning’s post saying he “got what [he] voted for”, the Brexit supporter replied: “I didn’t vote to stand in a queue for over an hour why [sic] some jobsworth checks our passports.

Fuck this guy.

1. 'The jokes on him'

[Mz Pip]

2. Actually, you did.

What did you think would happen if you were no longer part of the EU?

Now just imagine what it is like for trucks going through the Chunnel. Every single one will have to go through customs.

[Dave in VA]

3. Hahahahahahhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Thinking! The most difficult thing these dweebs have ever had to do!

[tonedevil]

39. Level of difficulty unknown...

activity never attempted. Analysis may resume if further progress made in experiment. Seems unlikely to observe change in progress.

[malaise]

4. He ain't see anything yet

[Caliman73]

5. This is not the Brexit I voted for...

The Brexit I voted for was the one where the UK was able to retain ALL of the benefits of remaining in the EU without paying ANYTHING for those benefits. I mean, come on! How can the EU remove all of the benefits of EU membership when the UK no longer has to pay anything or play by any of the rules. The UK should be able to do everything it wants with no consequences and inconveniences.



What an idiot!

[sakabatou]

6. People warned that this shit may happen but whoop-dee-doo!

[Blue_Tires]

7. Wait until he finds out

that all the minorities aren't being deported, either....

[Wounded Bear]

8. Apparently, he voted for the Brexit that screwed everybody but him...

[kimbutgar]

9. Last year in Europe I saw the EU line go quickly while I waited with my US passport for over

An hour. I have no sympathy for the British people and wait until their sweets become more expensive due to new tariffs and their holidays get more complicated in transit.

[47of74]

18. My trips to Europe I don't think I've ever had to wait that long

But like you I have no sympathy for that guy.

[kimbutgar]

25. Rome and Madrid was the most brutal line for us

Frankfurt was a breeze.

[47of74]

50. Hmmmmmmm

Rome took maybe 15 minutes last time I was there in 2014.

Going into Madrid in late 2018 it took me about five minutes to go through passport control.

Have to see what it's like later this year when I go to Greece.

[mainer]

42. Same here. Last year I waited an hour in Amsterdam

While I watched Brits breeze through the EU line. I even tweeted that this was what awaited Brits after Brexit. I guess they didn’t believe it.

[gratuitous]

10. Also, you know what happens if you complain about it too loudly at the airport?

Yeah, you'll wish you only waited an hour.

[world wide wally]

11. Happens quite often...

Another asshole doesn't know WTF he's voting for because he lives in a right-wing fantasy world. Won't ever happen here though...right MAGATs?

[Marcuse]

32. No, it could never happen here.

[Hassler]

12. Send that Brexit moran a MAGAt hat.

[johnp3907]

13. 55 minutes is "over an hour?"

I’ll never understand the metric system.

[dem4decades]

29. LOL, I see they're as smart as the Trumpers.

[abqtommy]

14. As I was told in a Munich restaurant when I asked what the next course was, "The wurst is

yet to come."

[WinstonSmith4740]

41. You had to see this coming.

[abqtommy]

44. You and I saw it coming but lots of people drank the Kool-Aid.

[Lucid Dreamer]

15. He should be used to waiting.

The British are born in queues, live in queues, and die in queues.

[struggle4progress]

16. "After burning down my house, I'm homeless --- and I blame you"

[Takket]

17. once again reinforcing the truth that brexit voters literally had no clue what they were voting for

[DenverJared]

19. Oh cry me a river

Your xenophobia is rewarded

[IronLionZion]

20. "some jobsworth"

A jobsworth is a person who uses their job description in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner. The term can also be applied to those who uphold petty rules even at the expense of humanity or common sense.

learned a new word today

[BKDem]

26. New word for me too. And a good one.

I believe many jobsworths end up working in DMVs.

[IronLionZion]

45. When some people get a little bit of power, they abuse it as much as they can

Which is why corruption is high in some places. A little payoff can grease the wheels for those who can afford it.

[CloudWatcher]

27. +1

[SunSeeker]

21. How can people be so stupid?

[defacto7]

22. Idiot

[TeamPooka]

23. stupid is as stupid does.

[jpak]

24. Awww Poor Babee

[trof]

28. The penny is dropping.

[elleng]

30. Sorry, yes it IS the Brexit (you) voted for.

[patphil]

31. So, what did he think was going to happen?

It's a divorce! You're no longer part of the European Union.
You're going to have to deal with it.

[LiberalFighter]

33. Idiot and his fellow idiots.

They must have thought they were better than everyone else and would come out smelling like a rose.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

34. This is an old story (early Feb.) that is deceptive regarding the headline.

Not a fan of Brexit but this guy's delay had nothing to do with Brexit:

(snip)

A spokesperson for Schiphol told The Independent there had been no changes for British travelers 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, adding that there would be no further changes while negotiations are ongoing between the UK and EU.

On Thursday, the UK government confirmed that tough new travel rules will come into effect next year which could mean a traveler whose British passport has almost 15 months to run may be turned away from EU airports.

[Hulk]

37. Welcome to 2020.

I've stood in line for 2hours and 30 minutes in Houston with my mother-in-law. She is Mexican and has visited us a dozen times previous. THEN they had me wait outside while they took her inside the office for questioning. Needless to say we missed our connection.

There were HUNDREDS of foreign citizens in that line. I was so pissed!

[mountain grammy]

38. Seriously

Fuck this guy.

[lonely bird]

40. Stupid is as stupid does

The frigging asshat voted for hard borders and then whines when they get put in place.

46. Just wait until USA Seniors on Medicare have their services cut back by Trump.

I voted for Trump, but I didn't want him to cut my Medicare!

[Initech]

47. This is exactly the Brexit you voted for, dumbass!

And you think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet! Just don't complain when the real shit hits the fan!

[area51]

48. That guy's as clever as a Trump voter.

[Hekate]

49. The sense of entitlement is staggering. MAGATs, Brexiteers, all the same. The world revolves....

...around them. Me me me. UK First? America First? No: me first.

[Gothmog]

51. This guy is an idiot

[Iggo]

52. Dear Brexiteer, Yes it is. (n/t)

[liberaltrucker]
