Got my summons ready yet?

Yes, at a rough guess. If you don’t agree with my estimate why don’t you check the actual numbers. You won’t find them in The Garuniad.

Lies and libel? Lies and deceit? You had better get out the old law books, or at least start with a couple of dictionary definitions.

Jeez. Time for one of us to switch off. I suggest it’s you, because you have obviously had too much of something.

Libel? So sue me.

You should not take a report from auntie beeb to be the truth, but inevitably biased. If PoD says it is fully operational the problem probably emanates from the French side. What was their excuse three years ago - border guards forgot to come to work again?

To correct your continued assertions that all of the world’s ills are caused by Brexit. In this case it was a clear case of French incompetence/intransigence on a very busy school holiday weekend. Whether I care about the few probable Remainers suffering due to the French is neither here nor there. Why not leave the missus in the next queue the French make. One of them might take her off your hands.

It’s not the ferries which constrict the flow. It’s not Brexit with causes the delays. In both cases it’s the French border control.

Spain hasn’t had long queues for months. They have solved their problem. You have already intimidated that France can’t decide how to squeeze cars through the autogates, or remind the border guards to come to work and keep the IT going.

Great idea. We’ll need a lot though, can you afford it with the current exchange rates? I’ll PM my bank details.

What’s going to happen next with them next? I’m sure there will some new issue from Calais border control to disrupt British travel. Spain has a method to solve its problem. France has not. It’s is up to the French authorities to resolve their problems with a suitable method to prevent queues, not me or Spain. Put enough monkeys on typewriters……… Oh sorry, that brings us back to the French problem again - monkeys forgot to come to work and the typewriter broke.

Nothing wrong with that claim. Look at the disruption caused by French border control last weekend. The Spanish had it sorted infinitely better.

Their arrogance and intransigence makes that too difficult.

Couple of months ago. Old news. Tell me again about last weekend in Spain, while the French were dicking about in Calais.

The problem is that you are trying to defend the indefensible. You compatriots were totally in the wrong.

Does French border control not know in advance the scheduled arrival times of the ferries? Obviously not in Calais, or else they just decided to ignore them and cause delays to the British. What did the Majorca Daily Bulletin report about last weekend’s delays? None, because there weren’t any. Spanish border control had prepared themselves, unlike the bloodyminded spiteful French.

Give us the Chapter and Verse for Armageddon again will you. I need to have a laugh at that one.

Not enough Southern Remainers we’re delayed at Dover for the rest of the whole of UK to actually care. The rest of us don’t nip across the channel to our villas for the school holidays.

Are you being ironic again? Check the passenger numbers for Palma or Alicante. Probably 5 or 10 times the quantity of Calais. Same checks according to you, but different organisation. No major queues in Spain or the Remainers would have been howling again. Spanish border organisation is infinitely better than the French. You need a new ledgend writer.

Not the cars and caravans that were the bulk of the delayed traffic? Operation Stack for the lorries has been around long before Brexit.

Because there are more of us than you. Democracy remember? 66 Million not shackled to the EU for the convenience of Southern Remainer ferry users.

Nah problem. We go with wads and pockets full o dosh. Bish bash bosh all around the Costa Brava.

Don’t know. I’d have noticed if there were any reporting massive queues and no staff, but the Spanish were all organised.

Remainers probably looked in the same crystal ball that forecast Armageddon.

As far as the queues affect me, I really don’t care. They are probably all Remainers anyway. As far as seeing confirmation of French spitefulness, quite satisfied. As far as being rid of the wretched EU, it’s not finished yet, but extremely happy.
