There are plenty of EU airports where uk citizens can and do use automatic gates. Are you suggesting that they should disable it for Uk citizens after the Uk has disabled theirs for EU citizens and so on?

And are you proposing to cover the extra tax for all the manual handling created by that gesture too since egates are simply money savers, not ways to improve travellers’ lives?…
