Edinburgh Airport is to let incoming passengers jump the queue at passport control for a £5 fee

Wrong. Plain wrong. Get the front line staff numbers extended. – facts speak for themselves What a shameful thing to openly uphold plutocracy as the rule for public services for all to see. If you can pay the bribe, the government will attend to your needs for the poor, count yourself lucky you’re still allowed to queue. – RP Mcmurphy You can’t ease congestion by letting some people go to the front of the queue. By easing congestion for them, everyone else gets a worse experience. You can only ease congestion by processing the checks faster. – Cramondo What a joke! A really professionally run airport would not contemplate such an introduction. – Agammemnon What happens when everyone pays for fast track? – itslikethis If someone wants to pay a fiver to jump the queue then let them. It doesn’t bother me. – Gawainfarquharsellson
