Right, I think we agree on what needs to be done, I just want it to be done for real, at the diplomatic level, not an isolated move by a random border patrol agent.
I don't care about "these asshats" but I really don't want my governments to engage in a diplomatic race to the bottom or to start disregarding their own agreements willy nilly, it's just not a good precedent. Also an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind and all that. I understand that might be easy for me to say from a somewhat outside perspective but really, nothing good will come from doing this kind of stupid shit, we need to keep our heads high, respect the rules we agreed on and generally make sure we keep everything kosher, that's the only long term play and the only way we can maintain trust from the rest of our allies. Otherwise we're just like them.
Besides I'm not saying "roll over and take it", rescinding the agreements is a much stronger move than an isolated (and illegal) refusal at the border.
It's still green on the official advisory website but I see they have a bullet point about LGBTQ+ travellers (among a few other warnings). So it's more like additional context rather than an actual negative advice on travelling there. Conversely, I see NL is orange on the US travel advice site due to terrorism risks lmao.
Man starmer is such a disappointment... I was so happy for my British cousins when you finally voted out the Tories, but it seems like there's barely any change in the policies or even just vibe..
It's an old tactic used by American travellers, put a Canadian flag cap or patch on the bag and present themselves as Canadian to avoid the negative stereotypes, I've personally talked to more than one American doing this in my life and read about it more often online too. I guess it's only gonna get more popular.
I can try my best until an actual Pole drops by... I'm guessing something like "Chinostas Chabras" (I apologize I'm advance for how wrong I probably am, I'm just applying what I learned from how to pronounce other polish names but I don't speak the language whatsoever).
I don't have troubles doing the deed, I just like hanging out in there because it's the one place where no one bothers me and I have no responsibility haha.
I think that was taken into account in their calculation and the 1.5km/h wasn't an average including rest hours but only the speed while actually walking.
