Chaos At Dover

[gulliver1]

Thousands of coach and car passengers endured a miserable Wait .
Many of them all through the night for their much awaited Easter Holiday
Stormy weather and the French were blamed by the UK Government .
But the Brits were just getting a taste of what they signed up for with Brexit When voted to become "Third Country Nationals" in the eyes of the EU... And it can only get worse....You are no longer in the EU so you have to join the non EU queues at ports and airports You voted for it . Enjoy.

If you want "misleading", try "most UK residents did vote for it", because that is just wrong, for the reasons my post of 10:35 explained in great detail.

The UK Brexiteers voted to stop freedom of movement. But of course did not realise it would affect them also .
Just thought they could wave a British passport at a border guard up would come the barrier and a smart salute as they passed through.
........Those days are long gone sunshine......

Try most people who bothered to vote voted for it. That's not misleading.

[royfromaus]

There was a vote and out of those that voted MOST voted to leave.


The rest is irrelevant.

[naomi24]

Precisely.

> Try most people who bothered to vote voted for it. That's not misleading.

No, it's correct. Just not what was said before, not by a long way, when only 26.6% of the UK population voted to leave.

Spot on Naomi.

I wonder how Gulliver thinks he knows why I, for one, voted for Brexit. Travelling abroad is no longer an option for me so that's out. NewJudge's often stated view has it right.

[royfromaus]

Imagine how many strikes could have been avoided if that's how things worked.

Is going by coach to warmer places a lot cheaper than flying?

It seems less than ideal in any case.

[ToraToraTora]

yeah right oh and only 22% Noo Layba in 1997.

You seem to have confused something that changes 5 years max for something that takes a lot longer for change.

For example, if we decided to abolish the Royal Family, would that be voted on the same basis? 52% of voters who could be bothered, and 26% of the population, to end 1000 years of history. Can we change it back 5 years later?

In my golf club, constitutional changes need either 67% of the votes or 50% of the electorate. It gives a bit more constitutional stability ...

And as I like constitutional stability, I am not one of those who would like to reverse what has been done now. That opportunity has passed. But hopefully lessons have been learnt, like they always do ... not!

[gulliver1]

French Border Police are now saying they can't cope with the sheer volume of traffic trying to get out of the UK. ....This is unbelievable, The Brits vote to come out of the EU Then spend a whole week end queueing to get back in again.

[douglas9401]

"Can we change it back 5 years later?"

Pretty much.

Make your mind u gulliver...one minute your commenting on the number if people wanting to go abroad ( when you did it before brexit) when other tomes you comment about the migrant boats wanting to get into the UK. And these holidaymakers do come back you know.

[naomi24]

He's never known whether he's coming or going, bobb. ;o)

[gulliver1]

It seems it's far easier to get into the UK than to get out. Simple to get in. just hire a paddle boat and start rowing from France towards England, get picked up mid channel by UK navy and Bobbinwales is your Uncle . All with no queuing and it's free. ENJOY.

[anneasquith]

“ bobbinwales is your uncle “.
It’s funny.

[nicebloke1]
