You don't have to remind me of anything, the thread is about a queue which was caused by the French having lunch, or a sauna, or a kip.......................????

You need to go back and read the OP.

Why would I waste my time explaining benefits of Brexit on a Dover queue thread to a remainer, now come on.....???? ????????

Ok, so why not do those of us Remainers - who are willing to learn - a service and start a thread listing all the benefits that the UK has accrued since we left the EU?

 

I would start it myself but my post would be empty and the mods would, no doubt, accuse me of trolling.

Dover queues.......?  ????  .................. ????

Just the start.

Bit like 1970, then the dockers strike created a state of emergency.

 

The prospect of disruption at the port responsible for handling almost half of the country's container traffic will send shivers down the supply chain, risking a repeat of damaging cargo backlogs witnessed last year.

The shock of the arrogant, ignorant <deleted> who voted for Brexit whilst living in Spain, being interviewed at the departure lounge having been deported from their place in the sun, was... almost worth losing my maroon passport to watch.

The Dover queue, I keep having to remind you, includes all the freight crossing the channel at Dover that has faced delays and increased costs since day one of Brexit.

 

ongoing delays and costs to the already struggling British economy.

The "ongoing" delays finished last Saturday and only lasted for two days whilst the French got their act together and all the Brits in the queue turned around and went to Cornwall for their holiday 

The French guys at immigration and now back to work and the delays are no longer

Brexit s not done.

 

The temporary Brexit Trade deal with the EU must be renegotiated in 2026.

The long delays to passenger traffic have as you correctly state cleared since last Saturday.

 

The far more important delays and costs to freight are on going and have been since day one of Brexit.

 

Costs and delays that directly impact the already struggling British economy.

And yes, a problem with French immigration at Calais in particular has lead to delays.

That is the one that hit MSM.

Every day now there are hundreds of Brits disembarking at hundreds of airports around Europe are stood in queues now to get their passport stamped.

If they all had to land at the same airport it may have caught some media attention.

No Brexit, no need to have the checkpoints at all! But that's "too" complex for Brexiteer tory-forelock-tuggers to fathom, eh?

Did you believe the Remainer "project fear" story that the U.K would completely cut itself off the Europe , not allowing anyone to cross in either direction, no trade and no contact and the U.K would become like North Korea ?

   Like the U.K would sail off into the Atlantic ocean and anchor down in some remote place and British people would become like an undiscovered South American tribe deep in the Amazon Jungle ??

Completely false .

Brits living in Spain were still allowed to continue living in Spain after Brexit  , just like Spanish people and all other E.U citizens were still allowed to continue living in the UK after Brexit

I am delighted by the unmitigated cock-ups and ongoing denials of the Brexit "winners". 

The only thing I'm missing is my Schengen priveleges. Free medical on holiday was priceless, but it's all gone now. 

I have two other passports, and property in Thailand. All I have left in the UK is a bank account for a rainy day, but otherwise, I'll just wait for the Scots to secede, and get my Schengen priveleges back then. The Tories beyond BJ have little interest in keeping the union going, so long may they reign! They'll still have to share the defence budget with Scotland but that's only common sense.

Brexit was not about UK folks EU holidays chap, bit more toooo it.

As far as this thread is concerned, the French caused the problem. 

 

Some of us in the past have actually travelled the world and dealt with all sorts of immigration stuff, that may have affected 'your' UK Tory -forlock-tuggers or dustmen...

 

So let's keep an even-keel, ol' chap....????

The quoted source of this fantasy claim would be welcome.

Project fear as that chain-smoking bampot Farage dubbed it, accurately predicted the chaos that is the subject of this thread. Hyperbole was not needed, just a little common sense, which was ignored, because who needs "experts" eh?

Never fear ???? and don't look back in anger, you've got your little britain blue passport back minus any Schengen benefits and your mickey mouse "sovereignty" whatever that's supposed to do to help the average Brit on any practical level, so enjoy it matey!

Meanwhile, Russia got uppity and Britain outside the EU now that's unfolding doesn't exactly help.

No such nonsense was claimed by any ‘Remainers’.

You mean there are no delays and additional costs to freight?

 

Of course there are, you just don’t like to admit it.

The cause of the delay was problems with French immigration , they didn't have enough staff to process all the travellers (even though they were told to expect more travellers due to the U.K school holidays) 

  So, this was caused by the French
