      If it’s of any consolation. It’s mostly performative.

      Visit other countries instead?

          No. You just don’t have to be so whiny about it. It will take you a fraction of a moment to do your biometrics compared to the joy you’ll get by having your girlfriend see your family. What are you going to prioritise? It’s really not a big deal. And if you think it is then, seriously, visit other countries. Europe is not the be all and the end all.

              I won’t either. Irish grandmother 😊🇮🇪. But I thought you said your girlfriend would need to? Sorry did I misunderstand you?

                  Hmmm 🧐. No I said it’s not a big deal to visit Europe and do biometrics for literally 60 seconds at the border. Like what is the big deal about that? Feel free to visit of you want. And if you don’t want to (for whatever reason) then don’t. I’m not telling you to do anything 🤷.

        Wouldn’t it be better to call it “CORRIE NATION” instead of platty joobs.

        Jokes aside though, you can be pro EU and pro Monarchy

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
