Downing Street admits post-Brexit checks played role in Dover traffic chaos

denied Brexit was the main reason for the queues and told Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday:"I don't think that is fair to say that this is an adverse effect of Brexit.

"But at acute times, when there's a lot of pressure crossing the Channel whether the tunnel or the ferries, then I think there's always going to be a backup." The port said all coach traffic had been processed through immigration controls by Monday morning and the critical incident"has been stood down".But the Confederation of Passenger Transport called for"crisis talks" with the government, Dover officials and ferry companies to"resolve this mess once and for all".

Where are all the brexshit plebs now

I’ve heard-, No delays if you are coming from France to Uk from French beaches I’m told. I told on that basis it should be good for your return to Uk 🤷‍♂️

So what happens now? Do all the Tory liars go back on tv and apologise for churning out the brexiter lie that it wasn’t down to their beloved brexit?

Why did numerous ministers refuse to admit it?

'part' lol so they will only admit it some of the blame... Shambles.

“played a role” - like De Niro played a role in Raging Bull.

Brexit = failed horribly

And in other news Downing Street confirm bears do in fact shit in the woods. We already knew so what took them so long to figure it out? Can dog whistling only be done in darkened rooms so haven't seen what's been going on?

No shit

It took them long enough to admit it.

The only reason this is happening is due to the EU having the arse!

I bet they choked on admitting that one

You don’t say … 🙈

WoW, How gracious of them to admit just one of their lies !

Here's one brexiteer who should have stayed strung up !

Just give the French millions of euros and they will be more than happy to help, just like they have stopped thousands of migrants coming around the channel. We really are mugs to the french sent we. 🤬

rec777777 Right now!!! 🤣

It’s what the people voted for

Even after this statement, the usual Headbangers will continue saying the delays had nothing to do with Brexit because there was also a queue at Dover in 2012.

We don’t need the gov to concede anything the people know the truth of brexit they lied and ppl lost their jobs, homes and lives! Suicides have increased due to the financial burden! Investment is low and gov is handing out visas to India for trade! Shameful

We had this before the EU, this will be fine once Remoaners get used to it.

You don’t say 🙈

And this probably didn’t help. WeWereWarned

What a surprise. It's a real shame that no one predicted this would actually happen when we left the EU. It must be a real shock to the gov't and everyone else LOL

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Then why isn't it everyday?

At least it stopped the boats hey? The irony.

Yeah but at least they got CONTROL OF OUR BORDERS back by voting Brexit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s such a pointless argument. So what if brexit is to blame? We aren’t rejoining so we just need to get on with solving the problems.

Then why did SuellaBraverman say it had nothing to do with Brexit? How long did the Home Sec think it would take to check passports and their stamps, particularly on coaches full of people! Again, this was easily foreseen, but as usual not by the Tory Govt. shameful

Isn’t that obvious as before Brexit there were very few if Amy checks lol
