These look like the new EES scanners, which are popping up at train stations and airports, to automatically stamp our BLUE passports. Brexit, the gift that keeps giving.
To be fair, it doesn't say anywhere on the touchscreens how much pressure you should use.

Analysis from @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social has found that the big 4 UK banks made £24.1 billion in just six months this year. That's nearly £1 billion every week from higher interest rates: they're just sitting there letting huge profits roll in from our higher mortgages and rents.
Tax them.

British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

End the genocide? Signed!
At the VERY least the government MUST stop selling arms to Israel NOW. Tell the government to act by signing the urgent petition: act.gp/464xZzO
Stop British-made weapons being used in Gaza
With each day that passes more lives are lost in this conflict, and weapons sold by the UK are fuelling the fire. British weapons should NOT be used to commit possible war crimes in Gaza.
