‘Passport control checkpoint’ on Scottish border

This was the work of pranksters

With only two days to go until Scotland goes to the polls in the independence referendum a passport control centre appeared on the Scottish border.

Drivers passing Carter Bar, near the town Jedburgh, were shocked to see barriers and signs claiming to be from the Scottish Border Agency.

Underneath it read in red background that the passport check point would be opening on September 19, 2014, the day after the referendum.

However, it was revealed that this was the work of a prankster. Jon Parker Lee, photographer from Manchester and organizer of this prank.

‘We’re not making a point for either side. We’ve staged this together as a group of Scotland and English. We’re simply united in having a laugh.” he said.

At the same time the British claim that those who live and work near the border have one more reason to worry about, as their everyday life would be affected.
