[Easy 10]

Liverpool fans going to Paris for the Champions League final as well as families on their half-term break are currently facing long queues at the port of Dover due to security delays. People took it to Twitter to express their frustration at the situation, with travellers complaining about being stuck in hour-long bottlenecks. “3 hours in a queue at Dover after driving down on no sleep is comparable to the pain of childbirth, glad we’re a day early,” said a Liverpool fan while another called the bottlenecks “ridiculous as expected.”

Shame that.

Although on the whole, I'm very much in favour of keeping plastics out of the sea.

Most of them could drive back home to wait it out, and then be back at the docks in 10-20 minutes when it’s sorted.

I believe there are plenty of abandoned inflatables littering near by beaches they could use.

French immigration have a duty of care to protect Europe from Scousers!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Less time to pillage the designer stores so a few less unemployed Mickeys in expensive clobber than expected. And probably a few lorries without hubcaps in the queue.

There. I think that covers it.

There's going to be a surge of pregnancies, due to the delay at Dover.

It would be good if we could come up with some common policy or something to make travelling to and from Europe much easier.

I happen to be in Manchester for the weekend. VERY much looking forward to joining in with the throngs of part-time RM fans in a sports bar in the city centre somewhere.

Probably come back claiming refugee status, Scouse not English.

For any of them who voted for Brexit, tough shit.

For the rest of them, just

Why would we want to do that ? We are British and queuing and moaning are national sports.

You think the brits are bad at queuing- you should try the French. It is obligatory to gesticulate, huff, death stare, elbow in this situation. And shout obscenities suggesting it’s down to Macron.

THis is exactly the mindset of the Douanes. Problem is they have to also manually scan each British passport into the computer. Takes an age. This is a country that preferred minitel to the internet for years!

I remember when this was called Project Fear

“ you are booked to travel today please allow at least 2.5 hours to clear all security checks.”




Wouldn’t happen in the EU

I went to the last liverpool v real Madrid match in Paris in 1981. Didnt have a ticket but got in to see the match. Them liverpool fans are crazy.
