Deportation
« on: June 28, 2019, 09:58:45 AM »
I often see people at the airport here being deported usually there are two police officers sat next to them at the gate, easy to spot if you look around and pretty common also..

But the other week we flew to the UK and they had an English guy sat there with two police officers ready to board our plane being deported..

We all had to wait on the tarmac while they escorted him onto the plane .. while they were doing this he was constantly asking for his passport to be returned for which they took no notice.. dumped him on the plane gave his passport back and we all boarded..
Never seen a brit deported so was a little interesting, a young guy under 30 I would guess with a ring on his finger so maybe married, looked like a bit of a rough one, maybe he stayed after the football ..

Last year going to Kivy the Dutch police escorted two "birds". The one was in tears the entire trip. While they were all the way aft the Ukraine authorities took them over before we could deplane.

Amsterdam, I suspect you have to work really hard to be deported from the EU on a Ukraine passport now a days.
