UK (at last)

UK citizen

Immigration is no better. On a trip back from Italy with the family, we were subjected to an endless queue whilst an immigration official scanned each of the passports of every single inbound traveller. At a time when we just want to go home, some unpleasant, officious, and judging from recent news reports possibly less qualified as a citizen of the UK, officer scowled at each of us in turn. Okay, I'm not expecting the "did you have a great holdiay?" routine, but the general approach infuriated me to the point of declaring to said stone faced individual - "it's my country too!"
Let's not get so scared of the bogeyman that we become prepared to put with any sort of cr*p from the authorities.
