How can they be applied correctly when there's nobody there to apply them? Doesn't seem to be the same problem with Holland.
Yeah it generally takes a longer time to cross borders with the volume of traffic we have with ****ing France when someone decides to do something stupid like revoke freedom of movement.
The Daily Express had a poll whether or not Brexit was to blame for the Dover gridlock. Unbelievable but true. Because the majority of the utter mongs, that read that rag, unsurprisingly voted, that it wasn't Brexit's fault, that makes it true.
Amazing, i always thought that express and mail readers got all their news from those rags, it would seem many express readers also listen to BBC, ITV and Sky news too.
It’s good to hear you are manning up and accepting responsibility for this act of national self harm. If only a few more of the mugs who voted for this ****show would follow your example and hold their hands up
Have you tried to travel from a British airport lately, what’s our excuse? Maybe the French are experiencing the same issues with not enough trained employees or maybe it’s not worth them hiring more people, for a couple of weeks of the UK peak travel, just to sort an issue that’s 100% down to our own stupidity?
Peak time surges are a thing that all businesses have to deal with. Unless you are prepared to take on staff and are happy to see them doing nothing for the bulk of the time there is very little that can be done about it. This is probably part of the reason for hold ups at Dover. The fact remains though that the main cause of the delays is the Brexit requirement for passports to be examined more thoroughly and date stamped.
The oft played clip of the yank running Dover says the UK have a system in place to deal with peaks and fluctuations, that are fairly predictable. He also points that the French should have the same, but don't. The questions he tries to diplomatically shift point to his opinion being that the frogs ****ed up. Judging by who post it on here, they only read the inaccurate headline, and didn't bother listening to him.
It's clear the safespacers didn't 'listen' to the man in the clip they posted, mistakenly thinking it supported their claim. My posts are 'written', so you unless you use one of the spazz aid apps, you don't get the option to 'listen' ya thick ****.
Lol, thick ****s thinking putting a date stamp on a passport that's already been scanned into a national system is an efficient use of time. Jim Henson will be spinning that he missed the inspiration he'd have got from these muppets.
I suppose it depends on what they've been told to do, if your instructions are to date stamp, then so be it, although if I'd had been in charge I'd just have released the bottleneck and taken the shhite later for doing so. It's a matter of just weighing up the risk against an instruction, and in my judgement there was no risk, there was more risk by continuing to carry on as they were. An example I would give is some years back I was standing in a Greek Island queue, no one actually knew in the queue, why we were waiting and why our passports were being checked (before brexit), then someone of authority strolls along, stops the border staff from doing what they were doing and waved everyone through, it just takes a bit of commonsense, suppose it depends on how difficult someone wants to make a situation.
Even the French admit the fault was at their end. French police blame ‘unexpected technical incident’ in Channel Tunnel for Dover delays Police in France have said an ‘unexpected technical incident’ was the main reason behind the delays. According to them, French border cops were unable to deploy at full capacity in Dover until more than an hour later than planned because of the fault. Prefet for the Haut-de-France region Georges-Francois Leclerc said it was not correct to say that the French failed to mobilise enough officers for the predicted summer holidays rush. ‘The increase in traffic for this weekend was fully anticipated and a suitable deployment was prepared,’ he said in a statement this afternoon. ‘Based on a close analysis of predicted traffic, the plan was to have all the police booths manned (at Dover) by 8:30am. ‘However an unforeseeable technical incident in the tunnel meant that police had to push back their full deployment by an hour. It was not until 9:45am that the booths were fully operational.’ https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/22/french-blame-unexpected-technical-incident-for-dover-delays-17053127/
