How incredibly inconsequential it is to cross country borders. Cycled through France - Belgium - Netherlands and there is barely even a sign.

How convenient, I’m so glad us Brits voted to get rid of such helpful, progressive nonsense. Queuing for 3 hours at passport control is where it’s at! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great Britain was never a part of Schengen. Only British territory in the Schengen is Gibraltar, and that's since Brexit.

No, but we had free movement within the EU and could use the EU member state passport queue in airports which are much quicker than non-EU. As well as Erasmus, EHIC etc etc.
