Downing Street has conceded that "new processes" brought in after Brexit played a role in days of chaotic travel queues at Dover.
The spokesman said: "We recognise there are new processes in place - that's why authorities were given a long time to prepare for the new checks, including during the transition period, of course. Extra ferries that were laid on overnight on Saturday were not enough to prevent the queues at Dover increasing through much of Sunday.
However, Christine Dixon, director of Cranberry Coachways, said the situation was much worse than previous years.She added that coaches were booked 12 months in advance by holiday companies and the port "should have known what to expect".
Just stop spending money in France! Go somewhere else.
We need a referendum!!!
Well, this is what having borders mean. The Tory Gov can’t even get that right. Maybe they could learn from the EU 😂😂
You dont get queues if you fly... BY PRIVATE JET...... Queues only apply to the poor..
And here's me thinking brexit was up and running, we are here again, if there's a problem keep being repeated what's the bloody point?
No shit
BBC At it again. Boycott the licence fee Starve this biased, putrid, Marxist fake news machine.
Haha more made up rubbish
Tories created another problem to distract from their lies, theft and corruption
I'm not posting any cheques to Brexit then.
In this case I don’t believe it… France is so corrupt and screwed up at the moment they probably are not capable to work at full speed!
But not at the tunnel crossing. A quick glance at the passport, a stamp and onwards. Never seen it quicker. I'm smelling bullshite. Deliberately manipulated delays.
TBF rather they check them coming in. this is the norm for years. like the passport scam; panic; so everyone rushes to get one. 90 day restriction the EU impose. We should do the same.
We know. You all knew Even SuellaBraverman knew. But lied.
You left the most important bit out: Post Brexit checks contribute 100% to Dover delay every day! Because is not in the past, it’s happening right now.
Of course they have because other countries now have borders to maintain unlike us who let any criminal walk in
So why no massive delays a Portsmouth, Plymouth or Weymouth?
Really should have thought about this prior to voting.
It happens every year u know this because u report it every year 🤡👍
Last year at this very same time Not one French boarder control officer turn up for work….not one! This caused massive problems So it’s not the first time & it won’t be the last And yes it’s because of Brexit! It’s called Brexit Revenge by the French who want to punish the UK
UkTruth2020 Stating the bleeding obvious! 🤦♂️
Wow really …🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Why do we have this dance everytime Brexit is mentioned, you can't just keep floating untrouth's, seeing the outcome and changing tack based on the feedback of the electorate, without them wising up eventually, I suppose?
About time, now be honest about the other problems brexit is causing.
This has nothing to do with brexit. French just need to put more staff on passport control. Simples.
No shit, Sherlock.
So why did Cruella state Brexit wasn’t a factor. She is incapable,inept, inefficient, ineffective, intolerant, incompetent, insufferable and should not be in office
Let’s go to Portugal instead
Call Boris Johnson and Nigel Farrage to come sort out the mess they put the country in with their lies!
The French are pricks. We're overdue a war with the French.
Always been delays at Dover holiday time, operation Stack was introduced before Brexit.
Merely stating the facts. The country voted for the Brexit. Now comes the consequences.
No shit!!
In other news... Water is wet.
Countdown conundrum sherlockshitno
But according to Cruella !
No shit Sherlock 🙄
If this is true how come the other ports have had no issues. Channel Tunnel has been free flowing the whole time. All passports are checked coming back in to the UK so this is nothing to do with Brexit. Its down to Port_of_Dover poor planning as it happens every school holiday.
No shit
So why have other ports not had any problems.
So...... get over it!
Say that to Boris and his cohort Brexit fantasist, please.
Amazed that the Tories have finally admitted this
No sh..
Yes but why the French have had 4 years to get there shit together and again they failed to do so
Oven Ready
Nothing to do with Brexit. Isn’t it a lack of Passport Inspectors? The French inspectors are in Dover and the French simply aren’t supplying enough inspectors. They want to create chaos!
Well rejoin, no delays. Simple
Caused entirely...
Earlier it wasn't, now it is. Which are we meant to believe?
Not shit, Sherlock!
Wow, did tory take a truth pill?
Someone should tell Braverman.
Err the French offered to put on extra staff The Tories refused the offer … Braverman said we have to be PATIENT ! 🤷♀️
Finally they admit it
I hope you all realise France is simply complying with the treaty signed between EU & UK. A formal international treaty. Changing passport checks will imply Brussels involvement. a new treaty, new votes Westminster & Brussels. Because written words along signatures matter. ./.
We know.
Can't possibly be true. We were told we were fear mongering!
today's 'no shit sherlock' news item
Always after the fact , been given permission to use the b word I see
And all because we wanted to show off our blue passports!
Ah now BBC uses the b word. No10 slipped the note out to you?
it's been a Brilliant Brexit week. The EU Dictators Showing Their True Colours, Ferry Operators Are Over-Selling Places + The Government Doing Something Right. And these wingers still won't stop. HAPPY HAPPY BREXIT
No shit Sherlock
Good. Let’s inconvenience as many remainers as possible.
That is not what your home sec said.
So the BBC can say it’s Brexit now that their masters have given them permission?
Should read 'we got what we voted for ' : )
In other news, the sun rises and sets every day
Nothing to do with the French posting and pension age
The tories lied about this yesterday saying it wasn’t
Johnson Tory Hard Brexit more specifically
Ignore the Asian grooming gangs and focus on remoaning! Classic Brussels Broadcasting Corporation crap.
Poor service from the authorities I imagine
Really
Oh just get used to it. We had this before the EU, and they coped with it just fine then.
Tory lies since 2010 are to blame. Where's the £350 million this week for the NHS? Is it still in the safe keeping of Ms Mone ?
Suprise, suprise...
“Contributed” doing some very heavy lifting there.
EU nation controlling its borders against a non-member state...
Country that voted for 3rd party status gets treated as a 3rd party member. No sh*t sherlock.
It was pretty obvious. Checking and stamping passports takes time .
Taken back so much control that people can’t get out of the country 🤣🤣🤣
cue thickos lining up to say those checks were nothing to do with it... go
Getting the Tory government to admit the truth is like pulling teeth 🙄
Seven years they’ve known this was coming but did no planning or preparing . Not fit to govern !
So what will be done ( if anything) to improve the flow of coaches. ?
