Azeem Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Players claimed they were held by authorities for three hours they checked everything including toiletries twice !

Carnivore Chris Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I hate Manchester airport. The guy who searched me last time pretty much touched my balls. They search you so extensively that you feel as though you're entering a prison. Pretty much all airports are strict in this day and age, but Manchester just take the piss. I'm guessing it'll be the same at any airport in the country these days though. A huge contrast to Amsterdam(which is when you are more likely to actually be carrying something illegal), they just let you go through and don't even care about you putting liquids in a plastic bag or anything.

Dr. Gonzo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Apparently the 3 hour delay is absolute bollocks. They had to wait an hour & 20 because passengers hadn't removed all items from the security check. And the brush thing... isn't that just a Belgian tourist?

And the delay was their fucking fault for not removing their baggage after their security check. And they've got the Turkish government issuing a formal complaint to Iceland over this , meanwhile if you go on social media and take a look at anything related to Iceland (including Iceland... the shop where they sell all of that frozen shite lol) you'll see a bunch of Turkish people making death threats. It's pretty mental tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's just their internet culture tbh. Their nationalism generally is pretty insane, to where they've jailed Turks for saying things like "the Armenian genocide did happen" as it was "Insulting Turkishness" (which is actually fucking illegal there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_301_(Turkish_Penal_Code) - read up on the history of that, like I just did and it's pretty appalling tbh). The fact that their government have gotten involved in this flight delay is laughable, but it highlights that it's not just the internet culture. Anyways, apparently that Belgian lad who held that brush up has some funny images on his facebook (as well as a bunch of death threats from Turkish people): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to some Turks, because I don't want to tar them all with the same brush, there have been notable people to speak up about the ugliness of that culture of protecting their "Turkishness" - like Orhan Pamuk. But people have been murdered over this shit (well before Erdogan was in power). It's the rationale behind things like their incessant genocide denial or the refusal to apologise for things like Erdogan's thugs beating up peaceful protestors in the United States. And if I did want to tar all Turks with the same brush... I'd use a toilet brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
