Huge 15km lorry queues at Dover blamed on Brexit

  1. Why do we even allow 15km lorries into the country? Our roads aren’t designed for vehicles that large.

    No wonder these monstrous contraptions end up queuing.

  2. Notice how delivery of anything has stretched to weeks. Looked online for 1l Synthetic 10w50 engine oil for Fiesta Ecoboost- all out of stock. A typically British shambles of no one actually aware, it would seem, of what is really going on. Duffers in Whitehall pretending the figures are “meaningless”.

  3. I live in Kent and a large part of the M20 is now just a lorry park. What happened to parking them all up in Manston Airport to clear the roads? Ah that’s right , they’ve sold that land to developers to build new build homes no one can afford.

  4. “blamed on” implies it can be anything but. This is like saying “shit on bathroom floor blamed on drunk man missing toilet”. We all know why the shit is on the floor. Why are we suggesting it could be there for any other reason?

  5. Well nothing else caused it. In the EU paperless borders. Out of EU piles of paper work for miles of queues.
    There was no need for this. This is Johnson’s terrible Brexit deal. We could have had a Norway deal, but it wasn’t hard enough for the extreme right. So now we are a global laughing stock who shut the door on our largest market so we could trade with the US – 3500 miles away and Australia – 12000 miles away.

  6. According to my Brexit voting Mother this is just because the French are being obtuse.
    I said that they were just enforcing the new rules and her reply was ‘yes, but they don’t have to be so rigorous with them’.

    This is why we dont talk Brexit anymore.

  7. What really really fucks me off about Brexit is that at the start, most politicians said brexit could still mean being in some agreements with the EU. Then some fuckface decided it had to be full suicide or nothing or it didn’t count. If we didn’t have such shit politics and media in this country, we could have left but not been in such a shitty situation.

  8. Dominic Raab then Brexit secretary in 2018 “I hadn’t quite understood the extent as to how reliant the UK is on the dover-calais crossing”

  9. Nothing to do with Brexit, it’s caused by y’all not calling them “trucks”.

    No just kidding, this looks shitty though, good luck to the drivers. Nothing more aggravating than sitting in traffic you can do nothing about.

  10. The queues don’t exist. The photos are fake. Brexit was a success. Your government hasn’t fucked you. There are five lights.

  11. I was going to post this article but rules say no articles over 1 month old. Quite pertinent now that the Johnson “Hypnotic trance” has been broken and people are seeing him for what he is. Articl is by Carole Cadwalladr, who Aaron Banks is trying to ruin in the libel court for words she said on Ted Talks, and in the Guardian. Aaron Banks didn’t sue Ted Talks, or the Guardian, he suied Carole, and the Guardian fucked off and let her fight alone. She had to crowdfund her defence

    # Johnson ‘knew about Vote Leave’s illegal overspend’, says MP

  12. Brexit or total utter incompetence and dishonesty from our political leaders and tbh also those on the continent as well…or maybe one can’t be distinguished from the other.

  13. EU won’t want the UK back anytime soon and we will definitely get bent over a barrel, good luck getting current deal renegotiated.

    Still worse to come when biometric checks come into effect.

    Best bet is to heavily invest in Belfast and Larne ports and ship to and fro the EU through them. It’s still in the single market and everyone here is eligible for Irish citizenship and therefore free movement within the EU. It’s damage control at this point unfortunately.
