We love a queue so there’s that.
There should be a line dedicated to EU passport holders.
A nice, fast lane.
To be honest for the Tories it’s a win-win I feel. If things are working it’s “see project fear was all wrong” if things are not it’s “all someone elses fault” – When you have a population that’s so reciprocal and willing to accept their lies it doesn’t really matter what the truth is…
Odd that there are no queues in Calais or Cherbourg…
Or Poole, or Portsmouth
If only Dover port had like 5 years to prepare.
Soooo still up for the 20% budget slash across the board which includes the borders.
So we gave away our control to the French.
I thought we were taking it back?
If you voted leave, first: fuck you. Second: you won. Get over it.
Infuriating that this is one of the very few headlines that actually state Brexit
Cant we just rejoin EU??
So, responsibility wasn’t included in the list of things we were taking back control of then?
And the ‘no new normal!’ crowd goes conspicuously absent and mild.
Right now, it’s kind of hard to believe that the British ever had an empire.
You get what you vote for…
Please remember David Cameron is to blame.
Typical Tory behaviour of just blaming everyone else
Which bus was that printed on?
Wait til next year when everyone has to individually pay to enter the EU.
Dover also didn’t do itself any favours by voting in Natalie Elphicke.
‘Hey, that woman who defended the previous sex pest tooth and nail. Maybe she won’t be an absolute disaster’
The truth doesn’t matter. In fact, it stopped mattering a log time ago.
They can just blame it of France so that brexiters can endlessly repeat the same soundbite
If only there was a way we could have known that Brexit would only cause issues, make us weaker economically, culturally, and also reduce our security.
But alas, here we are.
Scenario 1: waving people through.
Scenario 2: passport checks on hard border.
Astonishing how much ideology, disinformation, cognitive dissonance-driven piffle have been said, written, shouted about the elementary and blindingly obvious implication of (2) vs (1). Something that was stated countless times before & during the Referendum campaign, needing only the IQ of a 4-year-old child, yet labeled as “project fear”.
Here we are, 6 years after Brexit, and it is just tragicomic to see the continued psychiatrically significant level of denial.
> Former chancellor Rishi Sunak said the French “need to stop blaming Brexit and start getting the staff required to match demand”.
Why is the UK’s choice to leave the EU and create a hard border France’s problem? If the UK wants more border staff, perhaps we need to consider paying France for the extra staff needed to meet demand?
Maybe this could be a levy on all tickets and split out into a separate line as a “Brexit Tax”?
Strangely this coincides with a sharp rise in blaming France for all our screwups.
If only loads of experts had repeatedly warned us of the many of the downsides of Brexit before we went to the polls.
You/We voted for this!
I don’t get it.
Why is it any different to visiting any other country in the world that’s not part of the EU?
oh no i’ve shot myself in the foot.. it must be someone else’s fault.. fucking brexit voting fuckwads
