Port of Dover

Dear Gods! They walk among us …

Indeed most ironic and very sad.

Are you sure this isn't the front page of the Daily Mail.? !!

Oh dear .

Weep .....

Brexit freedoms - freedom to queue for hours instead of driving straight through to the other 27 countries of the EU.

Now we know what it means to be a foreigner.

It's not as though no-one warned them...

I read the thread on Mumsnet and it was almost certainly a joke!
I liked
Roses are red
Passports are blue
Now get over there
And sit in the queue.

The government was offered space for the lorries by Manston airport, but it was turned down.

If you read on through the thread, it becomes apparent that @jgw1 who posted the quote that opens this thread is a master (mistress) of irony.

I’d be very surprised if any of us lent any credence to that post. Surely not?

It is all the fault of the French apparently???

It’s all the fault of the French obvs - they’re treating us like a non EU country !!!

Probably make a big difference if the French had turned up for work first thing this morning.

We voted for a hard border with all its consequences, FOM was stopped. You can’t have it all ways. The French are not responsible to make the borders seamless.

What did the people who voted for Brexit think would happen when they visited an EU country? If they are stuck in the queue at Dover, serves them right. The others who voted to remain have my deepest sympathy.

I’ve very much enjoyed visiting an EU country post Brexit. Not a problem in OR out with the optimum number of staff on duty.

Too late for recriminations. You have made your bed now lie in it! But I am mighty glad I'm not in that hot queue with wailing children and hot dogs

Exactly. It certainly puts me off travelling in the EU.

If it's the poster I think it is, she is very amusing and so close to the truth that her irony is all the more subtle.

All very predictable, all very French!

MaizieD Yes, I too thought the name was familiar, looked her up and some of her posts about Boris J in various threads are equally good.

All very predictable, but some called it Project Fear.
