Long traffic delays at Dover ferry port are fault of Brexit, claim French

That seems to be caused by the sheer number  of traffic . 

Many people descending to Dover all at the same time and that caused dealys 

And what time of the year did that delay occur?

The date of when it happened is in your post .

Do you want me to repeat that and tell you when the date was ?

You told me when the date was , do you want to tell you back when the date was ?

   Shall I tell you something that you just told me ?

Give me one example of my continued assertions that all of the world’s ills are caused by Brexit.

Otherwise you are simply a liar and guilty of libel. 

Libel? So sue me.

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

Do you understand the significance of the fact that Brexit didn't occur until about 5 months later? And what that means for immigration checks by the French in July of 2019?

No, I won't. I will keep calling you out on your lies and libel.

 

I am OK. I just will not put up with your lies and deceit.

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.

No, I am fine with the existing defenitions. You are a liar who has libelled me.

Up to 3 hours, during months in several airports, compared to 6 hours during one morning!

It's high season in the Ballyarics and of course Spain is aware of that. Sounds like an EU directive to me,

 

Anyway, let me gets this right, so, as the saying goes:

 

The queues in Spain 

Are mainly from the plane?

The Pound did get down to 37.03 Baht a few years ago and today its 44.40 .

   Isn't that a 20 % rise ?

So, the Pound has risen by 20 % in the last few years

Against the baht, yes. Never mind.

As far as I remember, there was the same problem in Spain in summer 2020.

 

From where do you expect queues in Spain? There are no land border checks between Shengen countries and I doubt many UK tourists sail directly to Spain.

Many people arrive by train in France from the U.K .

Also, the delays are at immigration , with the Covid test checking , so it doesnt really matter how you arrive

The question was about Spain, not France. 

Anyway, as you are raising attention to travelling to France by train,  what is the usual passport check waiting time for Eurostar,?

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. 

‘Probably’.

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.
