Non-leonine fashion: Antwerp at Easter

Same part of London. He was carried around in sedan chair as ambassador - always lame, his legs had lost strength - but it looks like he would have to try an electric Jaguar today

It is interesting that the PM is leading on visa free travel as an outcome of his China negotiations. It sounds real.

It was disappointing than in the supposed 'reset' negotiations with the EU something similar but better was not negotiated. At the very minimum 6 months visa free travel in any 12 rather than 3 in any 6.

Brexit abandoned families with cross-border connections in pursuit of the usual civil service desire to establish jurisdiction in everything without offering citizens anything in return, which is becoming increasingly arrogant, but for which Labour will be blamed.

U.S. citizens can stay in Britain 6 months visa free but U.K. citizens cannot in the EU.

Talking about the use of e-gates as a lead benefit was a big insult at the time. Those gates, with the union flag symbol included above them, have been at many ports in the EU for about 18 months so their use has been in the works a long time.

Some interesting points are raised. We have no extended problem with some digital data acquisition at borders any more than we have with motor manufacturers, like Jaguar, fielding some electric cars - but we do have objection to digital ID just as we do to net zero on the basis that this idealism will eventually fail on practical grounds after causing much mayhem and undermining European sovereign states and economies, whether individually or collectively.
