Three things: The French don't owe us anything, they can man their border any which way they please.

And imagine how a bus full of travellers would have to have every single passport checked and stamped, Visa conformity checked on a database, the bus search for declarable or smuggled goods. It's an absolute disaster. I hope the idiotic politicians who tricked a nation will be made to pay a price!

[@petergaskin1811]

Why doesn't someone tell him that the number of lorries going through Southampton is minuscule.

AFAIK the only passenger ferry service from Southampton is the one to Cowes. Mr Tice may be unaware that there are no customs or passport checks as Cowes is on the Isle of Wight. OTOH, you can take the ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao, St Malo, Santander, and Le Havre but these are much longer crossings with a much less intensive service than Dover-Calais (Brittany Ferries' service to Bilbao is twice a week) and the border checks are on arrival not departure. However, given the abject incompetence of the UK government, it may not be very long before we see reports of immense queues on the M3 and M27.

@@kelvinsidwick506 Of course it's a question of space, you are slowly getting there, congrats! BUT think a TINY bit further: HAS THAT SPACE CHANGED IN ANY WAY SINCE 2016? It was absolutely clear back in 2016 that those checks would take longer should the UK vote for Brexit AND it was absolutely clear back in 2016 that there would not be the space for the number of booths needed to perform those additional checks, the stamping of the passports and so on. So anyone claiming "I knew what I was voting for" VOTED FOR THIS. Some may have been too thick to put 2 and 2 together and to see the obvious but they should not be allowed to say "I knew what I was vorting for". It really is as simple as that. But it's not just the voters, Raab famously admitted that he had no clue of the importance of Dover, either. That is the actual tragedy of Brexit: Not one of those who pushed for it understood the consequences but they kept lying to the people and too many of the people were gullible enough to believe them.

I am absolutely amazed at the naivete, or deception, around the idea that ten booths will be enough in Dover. In the airport of Bogota, Colombia, we have a bit less than ten booths to receive all the travelers from international flights and total chaos happens when three flights arrive at about the same time. People can lose their connections because of this. At best we can process a few hundred passengers per hour. And most of the passengers are returning locals. I have been in queues of at least 500 passengers in some busy airports, and it takes about half an hour to go through immigration, with several agents attending. If you tell me that 50 agents are necessary for Dover I will instantly believe you. This is called being a third country. If you are admitted to another country it is only because of the generosity of the receiving country and because of the profits that the tourism industry brings. If France decides that they will assign just one agent to Dover, they will only need to answer to their own tourism industry, not to a single soul in the UK.

The French could have demanded a whole new place for their inspectors with space for thirty or more stations, offices for administrative personnel, a complete security organization for their people, and a lot more. They asked for slightly better installations and accepted no for an answer.

[@andresvillarreal9271]

@@Iain1962 When you analyze queues statistically you will see that generally even overcrowded processing queues are empty some of the time. In this case, lots of people changed their plans or went to other ports and probably everybody worked overtime until the rush ended, so a day or two without long queues is quite typical even in a broken system. But most importantly, the UK is at the mercy of France. If the French government decides that it is better to have German tourists, or Polish tourists, it can assign less than ten agents, and authorize no overtime and no replacement of sick and vacationing agents. If they feel mistreated because of the fishing rights disputes, they can suddenly have eight sick agents. If they believe that a small group of Brits made a smuggling ring, they can strip search every Brit they want to, on the flimsiest of clues. I am from a third country, and that is the typical treatment of third countries. In my case, since my country produces illegal drugs, any law-abiding citizen, like me, can be deported back to any place in South America just because the Border Patrol agent thought you seemed fishy. Being a third country is one of the things that perpetuates the under-development of my country. If we could enter the EU, or any big and important trade block for that matter, we would be a lot closer to becoming a developed country. That shows the size of the decision that Brexiteers made for the UK, swapping the best place you can be in for the hole where under-developed countries are kept.

This would have no affect on the lorries that have been waiting on average 40hrs in the lorry parks around Kent. Before brexit all that used to happen was that you would wave your passport through the window (if that if it was busy) so now 4-5 minutes for a family of 4 to get checked as opposed to 4-5 seconds pre brexit

Tice really doesn’t understand what s-waking the truth means. He has repeated so many times the lie about the French guys “ not rocking up for work”_ this has been debunked completely.

[@jaysp1910]

Both Tice and Farage have been deflecting on this over the past week. Delays for lorries have been constant since the start of the year.

[@markbracegirdle7110]

Kudos to all involved, people are actually debating here.

[@paulelliottanimationfilms9440]

Richard has all the frantic manner of somebody trying to cover up a misdemeanor instead of listening to the others. What, I wonder, is he hiding?

[@stormbroke]

This man is clearly I’ll informed or lying. We drove to Germany via Dover in May and drove past a 13 mile truck queue AND were sat around for hours at Dover due to the increased checks. I used to work/live in Koln. This was never as serious before Brexit!

Vacuous balloon of flatulent air

[@hanselmansell7555]

Blaming the French. Suck it up mate, YOU DID THIS!!! 🤣

[@CAM-fq8lv]

Less people? I'm not English, but isn't it fewer people?

[@EdwardLindon]

The only response required to Brexiter nonsense in 2022 is sustained laughter and a swift escorting to the exit.

[@ingridschmid1709]

That was way to conciliatory with this disingenuous spinner . Post produced fact checking would be more useful..than just posting differently edited versions of the same debate .

[@jimjones8892]

I spoke to someone from the port agency........exactly who did this slippery henry speak to? Probably just another lie or he would have been very keen to let us know the name of this mysterious someone. You simply cant believe a word that comes out of this guys mouth.

[@ab-ym3bf]

I also spoke to someone about this. He is my neighbour and have read the same newspaper as I have and we both agree it has nothing to do with brexit. That is the level of argumentation from brexiters. Any 6 year old can come up with better arguments.

[@patrickh8602]

Just wait until they bring in Biometric checks at Dover and Folkestone later this summer. Not only will it delay you further but everyone in the car has to get out to go to a booth to do the check, dodging the other cars and waiting for a booth to be free.

[@tonykelpie]

There is a permanent 20 mile lorry queue at Dover. Permanent since Brexit that is

[@waerlogauk]

He thinks it's significant of there are no queues at Southampton he is correct in this! You don't need a passport check to go to the Isle of Wight so there is no brexit effect on that ferry run.

[@tedcrilly8411]

Tice should stop just talking over everyone!

[@petermillar24]

No queues? That's great! How many ferries go from Southampton to the EU?

[@ABBADiego]

He didn’t ask for the French side of the story.

[@stonehengemaca]

3:43 Look at that pure elation, excitement. He can barely contain himself. I was half expecting him to burst into uncontrollable psychotic laughter.

[@robertdowell9493]

I’ve been flying and driving regularly back and forth across to the EU for 25 years. The only times there have been significant delays at the Channel ports have been when there was some sort of political agitation on either side, or extreme weather. Flying to Spain in July and August has always involved queueing - it’s the school holidays. The rest of the year, I’ve never queued except when the airport workers were on strike. Since we left the EU completely there are now long queues in both directions all year round at both the Eurotunnel/Dover and at Malaga airport. I am frustrated by this but not in the least bit surprised. Anyone who takes transatlantic flights, or flights to Asia, will know that British passport holders have to queue at Immigration. This should not be a surprise to anyone. However, it seems that there are a number of British people who are labouring under the misapprehension that simply being British confers a Special Status upon them whereby the normal conventions of law and international travel don’t apply to them because they are inconvenient. How quaint?

[@MrLudaran]

This is what controlling a border looks like!

[@leegosling]

If only someone could have predicted this! Where were the experts to advise us???

[@maartenvandam344]

Taking back control, are we? Six French customs officers turnup late for work, and Kent comes to a grinding halt. So much for that, then.

[@hannofranz7973]

This is what happens when citizens don't realize that they are foreigners everywhere else while they seriously want everybody else being kept out of their country.

[@freudsigmund72]

They had 5 booths at Dover.... It takes about 9 times as long to do necessary paperwork now compared to before Brexit. You need at least 45 booths to get the same through time at peak hours than before.

[@audreymcgready4329]

In total denial.

[@peterw4338]

Why no queues at Southampton? Because the only ferry from Southampton goes to the Isle of Wight!

[@genghisthegreat2034]

How can the British not understand reciprocracy? They produced Newton, and his second law .

[@davefave4351]

Actions have consequences! I just can't get through to brexiteers. I just laugh at them now and walk away...

[@ab-ym3bf]

They never understood what he meant

[@samseal8611]

Letting these people lie shamelessly on your media outlet might not be the smartest move. They can invent lies that jam right in to the amygdalas of their thicko followers faster than sane people can prove they're not true. And this is how they've achieved as much as they have already.

[@neilmchardy9061]

Tice is in full denial mode, almost like he didn’t know what he voted for

[@coppershark1973]

Rock up? Is this man 12???

[@cambs0181]

We have taken back control! It's gone wrong? Well that's someone else's fault!

[@Stevieboy130664]

Tice of course is being misleading. Even given what he said - they were expecting ten French customs officers and only four turned up - if the queue was ten hours it would only reduce it to about four hours. It wouldn't be the seamless flow through of traffic that he is suggesting.

[@milsub59]

You know when Tice is lying...his lips move.

[@TobyLeRone-fu5eg]

🙄😜🤪😂🤣 she couldn't destroy a paper bag ? 🙄😜🤪😂🤣🇬🇧🇮🇱

[@DarylBaines]

"I read it in the newspaper, so it must be true"

[@kebarius6760]

It’s called ‘cascading systems failure’ Richard. If some border force can’t get to work because the roads are blocked you have a negative feedback loop. Inevitable collapse of supply chains and the end of the UK ahead unfortunately.

[@jonathanwall2749]

no queues at Southampton because the ferries only go to the Isle of Wight.

[@mochynddu723]

Borders have two sides!

[@MOSSFEEN]

So if the 10 booths were OPEN there would have been No Queues what Planet is this FOOL on

[@onx99]

I love how she didn't let the tory scumbag interrupt her at all.

[@glyndavies5479]

Its all just a joke to him.

[@tonykelpie]

Yes, no queues at Southampton. No ferries to France at Southampton.

[@joetrent4753]

Byline Times really are having a field day with the takedown of Tice’s alternative facts in this episode!

[@alexharrison9340]

Just don't go abroad on holiday , save our planet.
