Passport control

Manchester has been voted the worst airport in the country for delays at Passport control by passengers according to ukairportdelays.co.uk.
According to the disgruntled passengers, Manchester Airport is the worst place in the UK to fly home to because of the passport problems. A quote from the Manchester Evening News: ‘Every time I arrive back at Manchester the delays at immigration are unbelievable. They are usually understaffed and a wait of about 30 to 40 minutes is the norm’

I haven't witnessed any long delays myself when arriving at Manchester as I've been fortunate recently to arrive at a relatively quiet time. Perhaps that is the problem with a rush of flights in a terminal for an hour then nothing the next hour. Do the Immigration Officers move between the teminals during their shift as demand requires?
