LABOUR DELETING E-GATES POSTS

Keir Starmer and his party really struggled to sell their EU surrender deal to the British people this week, epitomised by their focus on the use of e-gates.  It didn't appear to be much of a win, in fact Labour's repeated use of such a minor component of the deal was seen in many circles as a deliberate trolling of our own people.  The people bit back and within days the whole e-gates 'win' turned out to be just more spin and lies anyway.

One social media post put out from Labour's official X account has now been deleted, although it is not clear if this was because it was misleading or the backlash was too fierce.  Many people commenting on the post had been complaining that they could not afford to holiday abroad thanks to Labour's tax burden and ongoing cost of living crisis.

A similar post is still live on the Prime Minister's X account (at the time of writing).

The top rated comment on this post is from retired Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies who wrote: "Shame no fisherman will be able to afford to go on holiday!"  Others pointed out a lack of personal experience of these 'long queues' and that they could already use e-gates at some airports.

It is true that some European airports already allow Brits to use e-gates, while an existing plan to expand the use of e-gates for non-EU citizens is scheduled to come into effect in October anyway.  That plan is the sinister entry-exit system (EES), which will require Brits to surrender their biometric data ie. a facial scan and fingerprints in order to enter the EU.  This will then be stored in an EU database to allow future travel for each individual.  Dystopian and deeply disturbing.

While the EES is scheduled for October, long after your summer holiday, the EU cannot implement the use of e-gates for Brits at this point in time - or 'now' as Labour have clearly sold it.  The use of e-gates is currently at the behest of each member state.  Therefore, EU-wide use of e-gates is not something that the EU could genuinely agree to.  Did Starmer and his negotiating team know this, or did they conspire with the EU team to provide something - anything - to sell the surrender deal to the British people, knowing it was a lie?

So if you're going on holiday to the EU this summer, you could be using an existing e-gate or you may not be able to use one at all.  Yet another lie sold by Keir Starmer and his woeful government!
