Daily Mail seething over new immigration rules that will limit Brits’ freedom of movement in Europe

The EU Entry-Exit System (EES) is set to be operational at the end of 2023 - and Brexiteers are absolutely fuming about it.

The Daily Mail has decried new EU immigration controls that will restrict Brits’ freedom of movement on the continent.

In a story they claim is an “exclusive”, the right-wing rag, which has been printing Euromyths for decades and urged Brits to vote out in 2016, took aim at the EU Entry-Exit System (EES), which the rest of us have been talking about for months.

Under new rules, Brussels “will be allowed” to check whether British travellers are exceeding their post-Brexit restriction of 90 days’ stay in any 180-day period.

Those travelling into Europe will also have to apply in advance for a visa-style permit and be charged €7 for the privilege.

But despite the Mail slamming the “big brother visas”, many people have pointed out that this was actually precisely what we voted for in the 2016 referendum on EU membership.

Instructed by Brits, the EU is merely bringing into force the country’s wish to be treated as third-country citizens, the same as people from Tonga, Venezuela and dozens of other faraway lands.

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for, eh!

Imagine the shock for Mail readers they find out it was actually the UK Government which has robbed millions of British citizens of the rights they previously enjoyed to move and reside freely within the EU pic.twitter.com/eDfQ7QlNbN

Mary-Ann Ochota did enjoy the Mail's outrage over EU 'big brother' visas.

So when 🇺🇸 imposes it on British people, it’s no big deal.

But when 🇪🇺 imposes it on British people (and all other non-EU-citizens), it’s a “big brother visa”.

This is consistent from the powerful 🇬🇧 tabloids, who idolise 🇺🇸 but have disdain for Europe. pic.twitter.com/ftpQj1xe3i

EU "Big Brother" Visas another example of Brussels bureaucracy gone mad in a way the UK would surely never consider, and… oh… https://t.co/JMkDCBImOU pic.twitter.com/olxgP31eBK

Brexiteers outraged at getting what they voted for – red tape! 🤣
"Holiday chaos fear over EU 'big brother' visas. Under post-Brexit requirements, UK citizens' fingerprints and face scan taken".

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
