‘Brexit to blame’: Huge lorry queues at Dover as port bosses call for talks on EU che

[Seatherny]

Huge lorry queues building up at the Port of Dover have been blamed “entirely” on extra controls which have come into force from Brexit. “It’s entirely Brexit – you can’t blame it on anything else but Brexit,” said the driver, who has had to push back some deliveries.

Poor drivers, hours and hours of their lives wasted as some idiots don't understand real consequences.

The authorities at the Port of Dover disagree.

Long queues of lorries built up on approach roads to Dover this week because of a spike in freight traffic and not because of Brexit, the Port has said.

However, drivers on the road expressed fury over the delays, describing the situation as “absolute carnage” and blaming a mixture of delays in Brexit checks and Covid paperwork.

Highways England confirmed that high volumes of traffic had led to queues but with Brexit checks in place for more than a year, drivers were baffled as to why this week had been so bad.

Although even if some delays were caused by Brexit, I still don't see why that'd make me want to have huge portions of British law made in Brussels.
