>Dover Gridlock: You can’t just wave a passport any more
I wonder why?🤔
Luckily that works both ways now.
Shame the French don’t staff all the booths though.
I travelled to Paris last weekend and back on Eurostar. It was well organised at each end. Even so, I reckon the number of passports a border force official could check say per hour is a third less than before Brexit.
Well, yes. That was the whole point of Brexit want it? Reclaim our righteous place in the world and tell Johnny Foreigner to bow down before our blue passports.
Or something.
I can’t believe that the French would force us out of the EU and impose all these extra restrictions on us.
This is the brexit you have voted for
The best quote from the stream:
> When Brexit voters thought they were “taking back control”, the French actually took control of their own border, an union representative has told the BBC this morning.
So true!
I explained this to my parents as the equivalent of going to the US and how long those passport checks take.
If anything the French are doing us a favour right now by not checking too much!!!
Absolutely outstanding, just amazing, bravo. Literally couldn’t have written better satire if we tried.
So the “critical incident” declared by the government, the “suffering” of the “inhumane” conditions, the “miles of queues” are because… wait for it…
Brexit. Nobody knew that you can’t just stroll past a border without freedom of movement.
Amazing. That lady deserves a fucking comedy award for those lines. Absolute gold, she’s a national treasure.
Who’d. Of. Thunk. It!
What are the chances any of these holiday makers stuck in these queues will own up to voting for their own misery?

We should form a union of countries to prevent this in the future. I bet the public will get right behind the idea.
Another “brexit success” for the pile, eh Jacob?
Before Brexit it was fine, now it’s all fucked. What on earth could the problem be? So perplexed
Oh dear, never mind.
Oh the hardship…
I could be wrong, but I’m sure there are qeues at Dover at this time of the year, every year, Brexit or no Brexit. However, you’d think the government might have spent some money improving the port infrastructure knowing that border crossing post Brexit wasn’t the same as before.
Why has the bbc adopted the colours of Ingsoc
Those poor brexiters who are discovering the reality of no freedom of movement are going to be super super cross in a few years when they want to emigrate to a warmer climate but still stay close enough to the UK to see the grandkids.
I didn’t think the leopards would actually eat my face!
Feels good having dual citizenship, not even 4 weeks ago and I travelled to France with an expired EU Passport and returned with an EU National ID card.
