I’m surprised the usual lot haven’t pounced on this story…

Blaming Brexit, still, is pointless trolling. You may as well hark back to times before international terrorism as times before Brexit.

There's a known capacity on travel by that route. The boat operators know what the customs capacity is, and should be allowing a factor for typical French customs cooperation or lack of it.
Capacity partly depends on the number of boats, or more wouldn't have been put on at the last minute to ease the situation.


This is just British mismanagement.

Brexit is the cause.

every passport now has to be checked, scanned, stamped.

Dover infrastructure was built for flow rates designed for EU membership.


if the UK rejoined the single market, the problem would disappear.

The British government rejected a £33m proposal to double passport booths at Dover in 2020

They were warned that it would make queues at the port more likely, predictions which have played out of the last week.

Seems more like wanton mismanagement.

Yep. And nothing to do with anything that couldn’t be solved due to Brexit.

You mean a lot of cost and effort to,sort out yet another problem created by brexit.

but hey we’ve got that 17p off a bottle of Australian wine to look forward to….sometime in the next 10 years

Hardly worth the bother if you can do business with the biggest growing economies without paying membership fees

waste of money, we will be back in SM market before its built

 

[Odds]

Really strange, I can’t recall a single time during the Easter rush that there’s been delays at ports and airports. Oh, tell a lie, it happens every. ****ing. year.

I know, right?
And yet people still gamely go every year, expecting things to be different.
Insanity defined.

Not one mention of the REAL cause in the press. The 'B' word.

Oh, Brexit was the cause of there not being enough boats, was it?

We're into our 4th year of being exited now, so change the bloody record! Deal with it stop whining!
It is now our own management fault, stop pretending,

The UK isn't going to rejoin "any time soon". Get used to it and stop trying to live in the past!

Get used to it and stop trying to live in the past!

You do realise how incredibly ironic that is, don't you?

I was going to make the same point, but had a tip run to do

 

[Notch7]

got nothing to do with boats

It is now our own management fault, stop pretending

thank you for admitting brexit is a massive failure, leading to higher costs, higher delays for no benefit

The UK isn't going to rejoin "any time soon"

the UK is very likely to rejoin the SM within a decade

the next govt will start reversing the damage

Needs changing then. No biggie.

It was a divorce. Have you ever heard of a cost-free divorce? I haven’t.

Tories?

 

[Notch7]

We can rejoin the Single Market. No biggie

Tories?

Labour.
