Yes, the french must build a very big car park near calais. And, but if the car park is full, what to do? Perhaps drop the cars with their occupants in the Channel isn’t it
And don't breath a sign of relief when you get to Calais. Because the French Gendarmerie will be waiting in laybys to play vehicle snooker. And writing tickets like confetti. We are a stench on the continent thanks to them ERG and their lackeys. Welcome to Brexit.
How can it be the fault of the French? Before Brexit there were 5 passport lanes at Dover. After Brexit there are still only 5 passport lanes at Dover. The extra passport checks at Dover mean that the maximum number of vehicles than can now be processed is just 10% of what it was when we had free movement.
@@elyrexo You needed a passport before Brexit because the UK made the choice to not enter the shengen zone but since Brexit they are new rules the passport must be stamped and properly checked to see if it is valid for three months this only new rule (because the UK decided to end freedom of living in the UK for EU citizens) is enough to explain why border controls will take a lot more time now... you need to stamp every passport.... new checks for cats and dogs, car insurance, food and of course checking the 90 in 180 days new rule and if you have enough ressources for the duration of your stay in the EU.... Half hard Brexit decided by BJ added a lot of redtapes, no issue it was your government ( voted for by 44% of the voters in last election sorry for the 56% who did not) sovereign choice to impose those new checks, so yes crossing the border will be far less smooth. Not acknowledging it is just lying. Still only a few more lanes in Dover because the UK government refused the French proposal to massively increase the number of queues .. do the maths.
@@elyrexo Still the French authorities have no obligation to cram more border officials into those 5-lane offices to try to accommodate the Brits. And as Raymond pointed out, it is not likely going to help. Besides that: is the burden of informing the British people really on the French, when all we here is that British officials have notified the French way in advance? Those British officials should themselves have notified *the British public instead* . As in "beware, this will be the first day without Covid-restrictions and with lots of people intending to leave the island, *but Brexit-restrictions are still in place* . This is the first time we will experience this in full effect. And since we have not physically extended our border-check-capacity there will be longer queues than pre-Brexit". But okay, if you don't want to see the elephant in the room you start playing the blame game instead. British exceptionalism at its best I suppose...
You always had to have your passport checked. I did whenever I travelled through driver, again coming back through Calais. It was checked in Schiphol. You remoaners need to stop rewriting history.
Inevitable consequence of Brexit. UK passports have to be checked in detail including how much time UK citizens have spent in the EU over the previous 90 days, customs and food checks, do UK citizens have return tickets and/or enough money for the planned duration of there visit..... Should the French have to pay more for extra staff because the UK decided to leave the EU?
It’s intrinsically the UK’s fault. You are out. You can plan all you want on the British side, but you aren’t entitled to French collaboration. You had it, you made it difficult, permanently
This is ridiculous, what is wrong with the English that they think that the "French Authorities are responsible" for delays caused by the ending of free movement. You ended your membership of the EU, the UK's freely exercised choice and this is a consequence of that choice. Brexit means Brexit and this is Brexit, border controls; Simples.
Come on it’s all Boris’s fault say it and all the people that voted out of EU , like the high prices for food and gas and electric it’s all down to leaving the EU , I took a large dump in my toilet and thought if only we stayed in the EU that large one would have gone down quicker 😂
Well I heard from the director of Dover ports that it has nothing to do with Brexit, it’s the fact the French border patrol had promised 14 border agents to deal with the busiest weekend in July, when in fact 6 turned up to work yesterday. Brexit does mean border controls etc but border controls were already in place in France and Dover before Brexit because the UK wasn’t in Schengen.

Blaming the French authorities for the chaos caused by Brexit, is like the arsonist blaming insufficient firefighters for not controlling the fire he started.
And what would you say to the fire brigade when they didnt respond to the fact that they knew there would be more fires and did not plan to do their job of putting them out?
Of course it is brexthick. Every UK passport (and every passport) has to be checked and in the case of Passports from Brexthickland they have to be stamped before entering the EU. Prior to brexthick UK citizens had freedom of movement. The EU / France is controlling its borders. Any problem with that?
What I’d love to see is a Brexit check. I think if you voted in favour of Brexit you should have that listed on your passport. That way the French can simply refuse entry to them and let all the remain voters go straight through like they would’ve done before Brexit. 😂🤣😂

Please explain councillor why do the French have to accommodate a third country just because everyone in that third country has decided to require entry into the EU. It is Brexit and the hard line Conservative Government that is the problem. There is much worse to come when the biometric test start. This is what people voted for…… To end freedom of movement.
So the French and eu are completely blameless? The British keep suggesting a system that could accommodate travellers and cargo coming in and going out of the UK but the eu said non. That is why it is their fault and what sort of arrogant, shitty, childish attitude does one need to have to pull stunts like this? Is this what being French is? Is this the eu making Europe work together? If this is how neighbours react to a sovereign country enacting its democratic will then haven't they shown why that country made the correct choice to leave?
@@Gambit771 And what is this miraculous solution to accommodate travelers and cargo? and if the EU does the UK a favor by accommodating them, how are the other third countries going to react? No. The UK is now treated as any other country and is not entitled to any privilege or special accommodation.
@@Gambit771 it doesn't matter what the British government offered. The French and the rest of the EU are bound under international laws to apply border controls equally to all third countries. Under both EU and international law the French have no choice in this matter. About the only thing that the UK government could have done to alleviate this was to spend billions upon billions expanding all ports to cope with the extra time needed. But they didn't. Or are you suggesting that the French government tells their people that they are going to spend billions of their taxes to build infrastructure in UK ports to stop the British having to queue? What sort of arrogant, shitty, childish attitude does one need to expect a sovereign country to sort out these self inflicted problems?
@@keldsleepnot7961 So answer me this and you will be the first to do so, are there delays like these at other eu birders with none-eu countries? Do those eu countries at those borders understaff them like the French have? For an organisation that preaches open borders you lot do like locking them down. More hypocrisy from the eu. All that needed to happen was for the French to man their post like they promised. Extra checking post were installed for the French to use but they didn't do it is the French's fault as usual. Yet they want our electricity and gas. Notice how the UK nicely provides without using that as threats, no threats to cut off supplies like the dirty eu does. If only the French would do the right thing for once and that goes for the eu. Untrustworthy neighbours.
Let's make it very clear that most of the leave voters were elderly English illetrate people. What can be expected of them while they have one foot into the Grave and all the time in the world to blame others for their own faults. Brexit means BREXSHIT.
It's actually going to get worse, as non Schengen members soon (October soon) need biometric scans to enter Schengen countries. So very likely need to leave your vehicle and walk to the scanner. All depends on how accommodating the French want to be of course, and blaming/insulting the French doesn't exactly lead to good, accommodating outcomes....

British want to get in car go there and support it by spending money but the enlightened french government listened to the wise eu commission and now believes that the local french population does not need British support money for thier only large industry in the area. bye bye little Englanders time for them go spend money somewhere else truly a victory for the french people and especially thier brussolian betters.
The tragedy is that people who have holiday homes in "la belle Patrie" would tend to be more educated and pro European than the average Brexiteer. I would say that most of these people voted remain but they are now nobbled and discommoded by insular and zenophobic politics and bad decisions.

I'm puzzled how people can't understand that Brexit means that every passport has to be checked and every wheacle. How many people you want French to employ?? It is much slower process than free movement. Ask your government to explain to you if you're not able to understand. Good luck at Dover or stay home and enjoy Brexit and stop blaming others.
"A mere minimum" of 7 staff as opposed to maximum of 14 staff. The 7 extra turned up 90 minutes late yet it resulted in an apocalyptic meltdown. The 14 staff are on duty today and yet queues are already building up and the warning is that the weekend will be even worse.
@@robwilton9539 Oh here we go. Let's start from the beginning. Let's talk about the elephant in the room. If it wasn't for Brexit you wouldn't have these checks, if it wasn't for Brexit you wouldn't need to get out of your car or stay in and have each and everyone one of those people's passports stamped as per the instructions of the home security when leaving the EU, if it wasn't for Brexit you wouldn't need to soon have biometric ID checks to get into the EU, if it wasn't for Brexit then next year you will need to pay for a visa's to get into the EU, to which we the United Kingdom were the ones while in the EU for the EU to have non-members pay for these visa's. So yes if it wasn't for Brexit you would need these checks and the knock-on effect you wouldn't be blaming the French. So yes voting for Brexit meant leaving the EU and so did 'your' freedom of movement, but you knew that when you voted for it.
Do you realize that the UK was not part of Schengen or free movement before Brexit?! There were still border checks in Dover before, right? Stop pretending you are ignorant and foolish about this issue! You can clearly see this was a sabotage by the French authorities on peak season to drive a narrative about Brexit! Unfortunately the French plan worked on fools like you!
Props to the Frenchies. Why the heck should they give a f#ck? You wanted to cook your own thing on your island. Bam. Here you have it. Hope it tastes nice. XD I just feel sorry for all the people who didn't vote for Brexit and still have to suffer.
The port has put in additional facilities to allow the extra processing to take place but from what I understand they were not manned (by French authorities). If they aren't going to use them, then we can go back to the old system where the French process their checks on French soil and, if they are understaffed, with queues on French soil too. I suspect the people of Calais will very quickly make their feelings known to the regional prefect. Edit: M Leclerc suggests that 9,000-10,000 vehicles were scheduled to pass from Dover to France on Saturday. Presumably his staffing levels reflected that. In fact, figures reveal that 17,215 vehicles had been processed by lunchtime on Saturday. and that by the time the backlog had been cleared on Sunday morning approximately 72,000 vehicles had been processed since Friday.
Of course Brexit has been in place for a couple of years now, but this is the first year that there hasn't been COVID travel restrictions. Transport drivers have been experiencing this for months.

Yep, sounds like we didn't take back control... we passed it to the French all of a sudden. Are there any tories that just tell the truth and try to resolve problems rather than spin them to blame the innocent?
When you travel over the Channel you are not just entering France, you are entering the EU. The French boarder authorities are not just doing checks for France but on behalf of all the countries within the EU. As the UK left the EU and single market it cannot expect goods and people to flow as freely as it did before because now there are barriers to entry. These barriers include checks and tariffs for goods, and passport checks for people. Barriers can also mean EU boarder officials dragging their feet and making it less pleasant for any non-EU citizens to enter. Taking back control goes both ways.

Port of Dover CEO is very disingenuous and loose with the facts… everyone knew this was coming because of post Brexit checks, it is due to get much worse once the required but delayed biometric checks come in later this year… if they cannot cope with 40% less traffic now how will they cope with increased traffic back to normal levels and the extra checks still to come. Brexit 🤦♂️ Also it was just Dover that could not coupe.. all North Sea and Channel crossings had customs checks issues, so it wasn’t the ‘French’.

I was kid when my country wasn't part of EU and Schengen. My grandparents lived in Germany. Whenever we travelled to them ( not during the holidays but half term breaks which weren't the same for whole country) we spent 2-3 hours at the border.
A result of brexit, yes. Another result of brexit is we are under no obligation to pump North sea gas to the EU. But wanna know what's not a result of brexit? Euro parity with the dollar.

Wait till the biometric checks come in September 🤓👍 it seem the best way to cross the channel may be by Rubber Dingy..after all aren't there hundreds crossing daily? all be it in the opposite direction.
I grew up near a tollway that was used for weekend & holiday escapes & I had an after school activity 5 minutes from home in that direction, on a Friday afternoon. I'd catch the train there from school & my mother would leave home about an hour before I got on that train, so as to make the 2 hour journey to pick me up after it finished. Again, it was 5 minutes from my home, but that was the impact of the tolls being collected at that location! It remained that way until eventually the government removed the tolls in the interests of overall productivity of the country. This was back before the era of electronic toll tags, but they still had exact change lanes & separate change given lanes & about 20 toll booths for the 2 lane wide expressway, but that quick stop to pay the tolls created huge traffic delays every Friday night & Saturday morning. I cannot see any way that even the briefest passport check could operate any faster than that system of toll collections did
Project fair. I wonder how many people in those queues voted for Brexit? I have absolutely zero sympathy for those people who voted for Brexit. I feel really bad for those people that made the sensible vote to stay in to avoid these disasters!

It is Brexit and the hard line Conservative Government that is the problem. There is much worse to come when the biometric test start. This is what people voted for…… To end freedom of movement.
So the French and eu are completely blameless?
The British keep suggesting a system that could accommodate travellers and cargo coming in and going out of the UK but the eu said non.
That is why it is their fault and what sort of arrogant, shitty, childish attitude does one need to have to pull stunts like this?

Is this the eu making Europe work together?

@@Gambit771 And what is this miraculous solution to accommodate travelers and cargo? and if the EU does the UK a favor by accommodating them, how are the other third countries going to react? No. The UK is now treated as any other country and is not entitled to any privilege or special accommodation.
@@Gambit771 it doesn't matter what the British government offered. The French and the rest of the EU are bound under international laws to apply border controls equally to all third countries. Under both EU and international law the French have no choice in this matter.
About the only thing that the UK government could have done to alleviate this was to spend billions upon billions expanding all ports to cope with the extra time needed. But they didn't.
Or are you suggesting that the French government tells their people that they are going to spend billions of their taxes to build infrastructure in UK ports to stop the British having to queue?

Actually, it’s not even Schengen. Ireland is outside Schengen and we have seamless travel throughout EU as we are part of EU.
It's actually going to get worse, as non Schengen members soon (October soon) need biometric scans to enter Schengen countries. So very likely need to leave your vehicle and walk to the scanner.

The port has put in additional facilities to allow the extra processing to take place but from what I understand they were not manned (by French authorities). If they aren't going to use them, then we can go back to the old system where the French process their checks on French soil and, if they are understaffed, with queues on French soil too. I suspect the people of Calais will very quickly make their feelings known to the regional prefect.
Edit: M Leclerc suggests that 9,000-10,000 vehicles were scheduled to pass from Dover to France on Saturday. Presumably his staffing levels reflected that. In fact, figures reveal that 17,215 vehicles had been processed by lunchtime on Saturday. and that by the time the backlog had been cleared on Sunday morning approximately 72,000 vehicles had been processed since Friday.

Are there any tories that just tell the truth and try to resolve problems rather than spin them to blame the innocent?
When you travel over the Channel you are not just entering France, you are entering the EU. The French boarder authorities are not just doing checks for France but on behalf of all the countries within the EU. As the UK left the EU and single market it cannot expect goods and people to flow as freely as it did before because now there are barriers to entry. These barriers include checks and tariffs for goods, and passport checks for people. Barriers can also mean EU boarder officials dragging their feet and making it less pleasant for any non-EU citizens to enter. Taking back control goes both ways.

Vous n'êtes qu'une portion négligeable du flux de touristes en France.
La vérité est que vous êtes dépendants de notre pays pour la plupart de vos vacances et de vos exportation en UE, vous vous en rendez compte et vous en êtes frustrés alors vous cherchez un bouc émissaire ! Il fallait réfléchir à cet état de dépendance avant de voter pour votre BREXIT. Assumez en adultes vos choix électoraux !
@@AlexAcevindjou nice gibberish.
Gods know what the air quality must be like round there.
Luckily most brexiteers also think climate change is fake
@@saadselkent367 you may well be tragically right in that estimation.
@@ritawing1064 its part of their excuses to be anti-EU, because EU has a lot of environmental legislation they need some pretence to call it useless and overbearing with
Enjoy your brexit folks. It's a border crossing, not customer service. It's just like the queues from Mexico into the US - you wanted a hard border, you got a hard border. (Laughs in EU member).
Ever wondered why a foreign holiday is called an "escape" as they termed it in the video. I've lived in other countries and people don't feel they need to escape. The UK really is a hole.
UK isn't a hole but it certainly is full of aholes !!
Remember the long queues at Heathrow.... the UK seemed to think the under manning of boarder control was OK. (double standards.... never!)
Welcome to the brexit sir we used to sail through customs with our EU passport now takes longer being 3rd country now
Doesn’t it kind of feel like the doom and gloom of daily news is getting heavier and more dramatic as the years go by. Now everyday there’s a terrible emergency over some nonsense.
UK did want to be left alone so they voted Brexit. Well, the rest of us like you to stay home alone, so please do!
Defo gonna be UK. Weve absolutely gubbed ourselves with regulations for everything else. Why not this?
I would LOVE to know how much of the delay was caused by UK cars bringing in restricted and tariffed items that needed to be confiscated as a result of brexit
I see brexit is going as well as can be expected. I'd be sitting in that line saying to myself "So glad we've got control back. This is heaven. Not like that tyrannical easy transition to Europe. What a hellscape that was." Or something to that effect, as I watched my companions spit their coffee all over the dash.
Why have the English such an entitled attitude. this works both ways..
It's a hangover from colonialism.
some English are arrogant !
Lets make this simple -
If any large group of people from a third country wanted to enter the EU at one time the same would happen.
EVERY pasport has to be stamped for people from a third country. ????????
Welcome to the Brexit.
C4 love blaming Europe. This is a UK problem, not a French one. If the UK want the French to increase the size of customs, then the UK needs to get its cheque book out
Wait till October, when the new biometric checks are coming 🤣
brexit is disaster 😞
Brexit means brexit what part of Teresa May's slogan did anyone in UK not understand or realize,
Britain is an island, people forget until they try to leave the little island and now upsetting the EU what do you expect. The only people to blame are the Brexit liars who didn't explain the cons of leaving. Classic case of respect your neighbors good or bad you have to live with them or move out.
You’ve got a yank running Port of Dover! Can’t find a Brit?
The whole point of the EU is to make things flow more smoothly.
Anyone could have - and did indeed - predict congestion.
"I don't care what they say...this is Brexit" sad but true..
Well would ya look at that. Brits getting what they voted for. What's not to like?
If you do manage to get abroad, please notice how good the infrastructure is over there and that prices have not increased much. Please understand the tories are breaking our country in every way.
Cant travel out of UK by Jet, cant travel out of UK by Ship, honestly who wants to travel out of the UK with this mess going on.
Learn to swim long distances (enough to cross the Channel) or learn to fly (helicopter or plane) yourself.
If the French are playing this stupid game, don't buy their cars and delay them when they are coming to Britain.
dont France get to chose how many border control posts they want to staff? Its their border, if they dont wants lots of people entering their country that's entirely within their gift.
Why sould the French solve the Brexit problems ? Why doesn't the UK do border checks of products comming from the EU? These are the conseqeunses of no freedome of movement .
So border staff were minimal when we were in the EU, why expect France to provide more staff then they feel they need to?
The French could insist on details/documents to cover the visit.
The French could insist on searching for any banned substance.
But it's somehow the French who are the problem?
Looks like Brexit is working, then.
Why doesn't anyone in channel 4 ask the opinion of the French authorities?
Why do the french have to put extra staff on because our Tory Leaders have done a hard Brexit?
Wait till the biometric checks come in September 🤓👍 it seem the best way to cross the channel may be by Rubber Dingy..after all aren't there hundreds crossing daily? all be it in the opposite direction.
I grew up near a tollway that was used for weekend & holiday escapes & I had an after school activity 5 minutes from home in that direction, on a Friday afternoon. I'd catch the train there from school & my mother would leave home about an hour before I got on that train, so as to make the 2 hour journey to pick me up after it finished. Again, it was 5 minutes from my home, but that was the impact of the tolls being collected at that location! It remained that way until eventually the government removed the tolls in the interests of overall productivity of the country.
This was back before the era of electronic toll tags, but they still had exact change lanes & separate change given lanes & about 20 toll booths for the 2 lane wide expressway, but that quick stop to pay the tolls created huge traffic delays every Friday night & Saturday morning. I cannot see any way that even the briefest passport check could operate any faster than that system of toll collections did
"they needed to fix the brexit problem"
Project fair. I wonder how many people in those queues voted for Brexit? I have absolutely zero sympathy for those people who voted for Brexit. I feel really bad for those people that made the sensible vote to stay in to avoid these disasters!
F ck of with Brexit Thick Morons
Unfortunately when you become a third country this is what happens. The French have no obligation to get extra staff for a problem created by the UK. Brexiteers this is what you voted for. Now accept the consequences
same to be said about the french tourist industry. British can simply go somewhere else to spend thier money.
Just think, if on that June day in 2016, 12 million potential "stay in EU" voters had not sat on their hands.
I went to the boarder at Calais and it diddnt take too long, this was 2 weeks ago
