Frederick Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 This sounds like bad news ...and given the recent position of the Home Secretary over controls being relaxed not much hope of a rush through for obvious UK passport holders I imagine .http://news.sky.com/home/politics/article/16117462Also looks like many will have to take their kids to work with them . I have even had a phone call as an NHS volunteer requesting me to be available Wendesday .... thats a first ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Civil servants have been approached to help man the borders next Wednesday when up to 18,000 immigration officials are expected to take part in a public sector walkout.The above has been lifted from the article Frederick quotes.Listening to a more balanced report on BBC this morning (anything is more balanced than a Sky report) Middle Management within the Borders Agency are trained to sit "out front" and process arrivals. They have declined to do so on this accasion due to moans which they themselves have which they feel are not being addressed. What a smashing day to bring this one to a head.So to all of you out there who are going to be inconvenienced next Wednesday, "up yours". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Perhaps the illegals might have a claim for damages as their oooman rights will have been violated if they have to wait too long.Bloody strike, called 62% on a 40% turnout. Seems like a change in the law is needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Perhaps Heathrow immigration delays will not be bad after all ... Today its reported that the Intelligence Corps together with the Military Police some flown in from Germany are being rush trained to man the desks ... Police Officers already working with the Border Agency will be on the desks also . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 [quote user="Frederick"] This sounds like bad news ...[/quote]Sorry this isn't news, because it hasn't happened. It's speculation, can't be enough bad news around at the moment.Get some checkout staff from poundland to do it, you only have to wave a passport in front of a bar code scanner........and they get a pension for that [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
