I have to have comment moderation in operation for all comments to posts that are over seven days old to stop the spammers.<br /><br />To be honest, I doubt if the people who travel to Spain or Bulgaria will have any problems since those countries are poor, backward and rely on tourists for much of their income. A bit like Mexico with the Americans - just let 'em in along with their dollars.<br /><br />As for the rest, fuck 'em. As you say we can retaliate in kind if needed.Ken Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042984331818416863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537211694317439897.post-36087384176837817272018-01-08T01:44:10.029+00:002018-01-08T01:44:10.029+00:00Good spirited stuff.

Thus we never leave the international section of the airport and do not go anywhere near passport control until we get to our final destination, thousands of miles beyond the EU."<br /><br />That's certainly true of you and me, but there will always be plenty of people wanting to go and "shag their women, drink their beer" without doing the hardarse long-haul bit. Good luck to 'em, and if they dick us around at immigration we'll play them back with interest.Tamburlaine the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757776584790279732noreply@blogger.com
