Six hour delays at Dover. Isn’t this what we voted for?

There are a lot of consequences relating to Brexit that weren't revealed until it was too late. Only the government knew the true extent that leaving the EU would have at the time of the referendum.

Seemingly the same country that voted for a hard border with France are now complaining that we have a hard border with France. Let’s not forget here, it was the U.K. that insisted that passports should be stamped. The French are simply following protocol.

Laughable. Again.

Should these people have just gone to Blackpool or Skegness instead?

Brighton or Margate if they were at Dover would make more sense.

No. The whole OP is a misnomer though since the French are always avoiding work or on strike and delays occured before Brexit. The UK is not responsible for what we are told are French staffing issues.

It's the French! Not Brexit, pretty much what the UK is saying 🤦🏾*♀️.

I think the consequences of a hard border were well known as we have hard borders with the likes of everywhere except Europe. Similarly, it was well understood before we all voted that the £350 million a week idea was a lie and it was also well know the Brexit would include a divorce bill. I note that divorce bill has risen to something like £42 billion now.

But hey - we voted Brexit because we wanted sovereignty and the right to make our own laws and all the benefits the EU gave us can go hang. Vote for Truss and we are guaranteed to lose most of our rights like basic human rights that the EU gave us. I note we are already working hard on being the dirty man of Europe again with our sewage strewn rivers and laughable recycling rates. Yep - Brexit was brilliant!

Not sure how that relates to this though. We weren't part of Schengen before, we aren't part of Schengen now. The hard border only ever really related to the Irish border which had free travel [apart from the miliary checkpoints...] prior to the UK joining the UK. Still no real border there.

No but we were part of a common travel area. Passports now need to be stamped hence delay.

This delay is because the passport not just needs looked at/validated but also stamped....?

Stamping a document that's already being handed over is causing chaos? Get real....

Seems perfectly believable to me. Having to be handed, look at stamp, return passports is very different to just having it waved at you and if the picture matches you're good.
