    As we're (you're) all in this together, and there are many difficult decisions to make, the conservatives have always said that making cuts is a choice between cutting back office bureaucracy or front line services.

    But, nobody said they couldn't choose both options

    What's up with the automatic passport machines. I used one once (under supervision) and now the machines always seem to be off-line or non-existent.

    "Did the government actually change?" - no. These days Labour & Tory are neo-liberals fighting to control the centre ground. It doesn't matter who you vote for.

    Even at the airport?

    I can believe they may not bother at land borders where you're surrounded by Euroland countries, but airports are the one way in without passing through a trusted country first.

    Some migrant farm labourers follow the harvests from one place to the next.

    Do reckon anyone would notice if I knocked up a nice little chalet on some alpine mountain slope and started living there?

    When we went to France at half-term, there was no-one at French passport control at Eurotunnel. Paused for a bit, then went straight through.

    That said, if you were here illegally, why would you leave to go back to Europe?
