   You bought an Asian to the UK and you are complaining because British Asians stamped your Asian immigrant into the UK ?

No. I have never complained about Asisns in UK. I didn't even mention who checked our passports, they weren't stamped. 

 

Stop making false accusations.

Using the Non-UK Channel is slower, a lot slower on flights from the Middle East and Asia.

Not at Birmingham, I usually find we're the only ones in the queue as we were this trip, even on a flight from Doha - most passengers use the UK Channel e-Gate

Please show a post where I've said anything like that. A link or screenshot. Or, an apology.

I didn't answer for him. Had i been, i would have quoted your comment. I didn't. I echoed your sentiments.  Have a look, I even started with a reference to your comment.

 

Now, that apology? Or are you going to show where I've complained about Asians in UK?

  When was the last time that you went through Heathrow ?

UK passports go through one gate and foreign passports go on the other side of the building through a different gate 

We went through Heathrow in March. My wife and I went through together. We were told by the officer "mixed passports in this channel, please", which was basically a channel for non UK passports.

The last few times I’ve passed through Birmingham airport (three times in the past two years), I’ve found myself stuck queuing in the Non-UK line - while all the E-Gates remain completely empty. Meanwhile, UK families with children, who can’t use the E-Gates, have already cleared the Non-UK counters.

 

I find myself caught deep in the queue with Non-EU citizens, yet that queue moves faster once other immigration officers are freed from a single boarding control counter to help out.

 

Its not a complaint - just an observation that 'going through the UK line with my Wife' would be faster than going though the Non-EU line.

 

 

BUT - Europe takes the biscuit - Arriving at airports there from the UK the Brexit fallout is in full swing as EU passengers pass speedly through well occupied boarder control counters and UK citizens are queuing up for the Non-UK line which is full of 100's of British Passengers and few officers !!! (almost as if it was deliberately planned this way !!!)...  

Paranoid - maybe, but evident nonetheless.

   Not really erroneous , previously there were lots of Immigration officers ar Heathrow and now there isn't .

   If you have a UK passport then you wouldn't need to see any immigration officers at all , just scan your  passport and the gates open

In March, when we went through, there were equal numbers of manned desks and e-gates.

 

You haven't apologized for your false accusations, yet.

If talking to yourself, why not as you've quoted yourself, you could be right. However, you've also been in conversation with others and have fallen behind. Never mind. It's all good practice for you.

 

Now, about the apology you owe me.

My mum's given-up trying to get appointments with her GP - it seems to be telephone consultations only for her so she just suffers in silence although, apart from her legs, she's in good shape physically and mentally for 95.

 

 

What a joke telephone diagnosis it. How do you listen to somebody's breathing, check if they have high blood pressure. Just a another way to bully people into not seeking medical help. Now I don't necessarily blame the Government for his. Seems to me GPs are taking advantage of practices that were introduced during covid, The same with the recorded phone messages that you get now when you phone any business now, "we are experiencing high call volumes and your wait may be longer than usual. You can however talk to our thick, stupid virtual assistance who wont understand what your question is".

I don't even have a big problem with that kind of thing. When I pass through the Gulf Arab countries, most of the workforce are foreigners, mostly South Asians, Africans and Filipinos, but here are the differences to the West - the Gulf Arab states do not hand out passports to these workers like Christmas cards, nor do they allow the foreign workforce to have an entitled attitude. Most of these groups you can't treat nicely as they take advantage - reciprocation and honour are not traits most groups have in high quantities. The Western elite know this also, but they are currently bringing down the quality of life for most people. How low they will drop it I have no idea.
