Nothing wrong with the paper at all , it’s how the Green Party comms department have laid the ‘blame’ at western powers and conflate killed in combat and died because of effect of conflict on the regions. and they don’t even link to the paper at all

All the trams out of Switzerland in Basel were checked when we were there. Spoke to some locals who actually didn’t see it as too big a problem as only takes a minute or so. But everyone’s ID was checked. But had the same entering Italy by land and also Austria.

Car drivers had not “objected” , this comment is from paragraphs 31-34 where the inspector was describing the setting and visual impact of the site for all users. Of which he commented on pedestrians, road users and motorists. The “view of car drivers” was not given as a reason.

As long as it took them to check every one on the tram , been on trains in other eu countries (Slovenia/Austrian) border at night were they stop in the middle of nowhere and go through it, and seen families taken off not to return . Buses are the same. My advise always have passport/id To hand

Yep Germany started this a while back, as have other EU countries . This was Basel Germany last week , almost every tram to Germany from Basel stopped and every passenger checked. You get used to it after a while.

Had a great week last week at #eurovision, #Basal #Switzerland did the show proud , whole city seemed to be involved. Only downside was having to always have passport with you as German Border guards checked ID at the border every time we crossed back into Germany to our Hotel.

Saw many elderly Dutch and Germans lugging heavy e-bikes on and off trains in Germany last summer, Guards were very exasperated with them as they caused the trains to be delayed multiple times. Personally my “e” bike is a moulton with a Swytch kit , to supplement an analog Brompton
