Classic Brexitard gambit, that; **** the bed, blame the frogs, refuse to give a ****. You stupid ****.
The chickens have truly come home to roost ... the ****tards who thought we could really take on a United Europe are full of the blinkered bullshit that celebrates Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo (where the Prussians saved our arse) whilst conveniently skipping over disaster lessons like Balaclava and Isandlwana where ego led ventures caused us annihilation... reality is that we have gone up against a battery of water cannons armed with a water pistol whilst being led by a complete bumbling buffoon ... ... but at least we have our waters back ... just no markets for our seafood
Latest laughing stock : the much vaunted blue passports won't work with the new ID scanning system. It's been designed to fit the EU ones.
The “90 day rule” only applies to countries in the Schengen Agreement but why let the facts get in the way of a rant? Since the transition period ended (31st December 2021) we have been treated as a “third country” and are subject to the “90 day rule” but this hardly equates to ‘freedom of movement’. EU citizens visiting the UK can stay for six months, just like visitors from anywhere else on the planet. There were no check-in booths at Folkestone or Calais for the Channel Tunnel because nobody envisaged there being border checks when it was constructed. At Dover for the ferry there is insufficient space but the French did not show up to man the existing booths, so clearly a shortage of staff was 100 per cent the fault of the French. I have not seen any reports of long queues in France to get across to the UK legitimately, suggesting that appropriate levels of British staffing are in place.
Actually the problem is that the French did not show up for work so there was virtually nobody doing the border checks. There is an agreement that we would perform border checks at the French side on EU citizens and the French would perform border checks at the English side on British citizens. When I last went on the Eurostar, the EU checks were at St Pancras and the British checks were at Gare du Nord. The post transition period checks started six months ago but the British school summer holidays only started this week.
