It’s a good job they didn’t do that 80 years ago , just petty
So where's the footage of the Canadian paratroopers showing their passports to the French?
Unlike at theUS southern border too.
What a f pantomime 😡
Comment? Wait till I stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good ol' Brexit…. So happy all that money we saved from it goes into the NHS…..
Huh! How about the illegals!! What a waste!!
Just checking they're the right people to take their surrender…
They should turn this into a D-day skit, and have it on black and white with original uniforms. It would be hilarious.
Ah yes the Boris Brexit – the end of freedom of movement – suck it up this is what we voted for
The wonders of Brexit 😂😂😂
So they are strict with paratroopers, but allow boats of illegals without shame. What a crazy world this is !!
Amazing we help this lot for freedom
Sh t show the napoleon at it again
Absolute disgrace 😡
Wonder if they did that in ww2😂
Having to show that they have a bit of control over The Best Army in the world .
Twice we got them out of trouble, should have let the Germanys to it.
The revenge of Nigel Farage
Shows just how petty the French and EU are today. I hope our politicians steer clear of further involvement in European wars, particularly Ukraine.
Were’nt to bothered in 1944
Winge bags!
British would do the same if French paratroopers landed here. It's the rules
How embarrassing.
Customs is re-enacting being Vichy French….
They never check the people who cross the cannel in boats like that
Require passport ? Funny. NATO equal fair eh no need passport
Lmao well petty, this comes from the top down
This is what leavers vote for.
The French made it trivial.
Brexiteers still raging.
Monty Python 😮
How disgusting and childish !
I'm surprised the French just didn't surrender
Obviously the troops knew this as they all had their passports sealed in a lil clear bag ready for the French 🧐
It's called Brexit, what was voted for, so cannot complain
There was no French man to be seen there 80yr ago ,
The US forces flew from France and had already completed their border formalities; no check was required for the Belgians as EU citizens. The law is the law, that's what happens since Brexit. The soldiers concerned we're already aware and had their passports ready.
Another price of Brexit guys!!
Don't blame the customs officers but their chiefs ! They just follow orders that they don't understand too…
They should of just took the dinghy
This is normal. UK Soldiers always show their passport when landing in another country in exercise. The diffrerence now is the passport must be stamped also.
Brexit.. 😂
Love it……the law is the law….😂
Croissant hospitality at it's finest
Thankfully we're not at war any more… Better to be met by a French Customs official than a German with a machine gun !!
We should be as strict as the French as to who we let into our country…
Werent asking for passports when our boys died to give them back their nation.
What a joke, a true insult. Didn’t see them checking passports on D day.
One french officer could have checked every jumpers pport prior to take off and then returned by jumping as eell WTF
They didn't need a passport in 1944
Thats why they made the channel tunnel, so they can flee to the UK, quicker when invaded.
Unbelievable! These men represent heroes that saved your country! The French should be ashamed of themselves!!!
Damned insult to the brave men of D-Day. Where was General DeGaulle?
