Lord Frosty is an expert at selling whisky! That’s all!

He takes the piss out of being a prat…

Maderia? Seriously?

Apart from the expensive proof of Covid negativity, the Polish border guard waved me through (after quickly stamping passport) without a look at any other paperwork. My problem was getting back into England with totally confusing, long and ambiguous paperwork.

Portugal must be desperate for tourist cash!

As usual the brexit newspapers in England made it a brexit positive issue where it is not.

E-Gates are part of an EU wide program for fast access to 3rd country citizens. Portugal is just ahead of the pack introducing a whopping 4 gates at Lisboa Airport (morst English fly to Faro Airport btw) that is open to use by citizens of several 3rd countries.

But I am sure the brexiters feel spesjul again and will shout from the rooftops how important they are for the Portuguese economy.

But remember, the more you shout about it, the less it is true.

Twist it as so?
Hmm, it's okay for you though.
You'll be telling me next that they can set their own VAT rates.

That Brexit cake has gone seriously stale!!!

As if we don't have enough Brit tourists already… 😮‍💨

Before Brexit, e gate access in 500 EU commercial airports, after Brexit…four. World beating !!

Where does he say it is a Brexit benefit??

Bravo Portugal. Giving the UK what it had when it was in the EU

Shouldn't he have prefaced his tweet with the usual "Remoaners bitter"?

With all his hot air he could power wind-elictricty for the next century 😂🤣😡😇🤠👍☘️🤠.

Brexit was a huge mistake. I was too young to vote. As soon as I can im moving abroad to a country that isnt completely sinking into irrelevancy

This is not news, this is desperation! No sunny uplands, no cake, no unicorn, no easy access to the SM, no international crowd waiting at the doorstep of #10 eager to make a deal with Global Britian!

Blue passports.
Imperial units.
Crowns on glass.

But E-gates are used throughout the world but this doesn't mean to say you don't have to comply with visa and entry requirements like ESTA or ETIAS requirements or 90 day tourist limits, if you fail to meet these requirements you probably find the E-Gate won't open.

Wow….!!!!!! Ciao

This is outrageous. How dare Frost usurp JRM as Minister for Silly Walks?

i never used a e-gate in my live, maybe one reason is, i never used a port of entry here in the EU, because i am inside the EU all my time, crossing borders inside only and never plan to set foot on the UK in the future!

This is actually part of the pilot scheme leading up to ETIAS and the new entry-exit formalities. The e-gates for UK, Australian, NZ, Japanese and Singaporean nationals will be taking their fingerprints and bring tested on how effectively the traveller can be identified as the genuine holder of the passport. It is also being trialled at some EU land borders. I heard that Bulgaria is taking part in that aspect. EU/EEA/CH nationals pass through simple e-gates where they just scan their ID cards or passports.

It's Frost. Do you expect him to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but … "? It's FROSTY!

Wow the Portuguese Government acting in the best interest of the Portuguese Tourist industry. Almost like they exhibit intelligent leadership. I can see why Lord Frost is confused given what he was ennobled for doing

I'm guessing brexiteers get really pissed off when they have to queue with ''foreigners'' at another countries borders. 🤣🤣

The citizens of the EU have moved on . Its the Wrexiteers who are now in a time warp . Roll on Scottish independence and a united Ireland

How much longer is this plonker Frost going to drone spouting such drivel?

Portugal can do this without turning its country upside down and running around proclaiming; Sovereignty! Who knew?
