Is This What Brexiteers Wanted?
Queues at Dover:

I wonder how many of those caught up in the queues voted for Brexit. We travelled to France dozens of times when we were in the EU and were never held up at French border control (which was often unmanned as it didn't need to check anything). I hopr Brexiteers are sent to the back of the queue.

As far as these problems being predicted go, they were predicted. But normal organisations and normal governments, when presented with such predictions, take action to avoid the problems. The business of border control into France is entirely a matter for the French. If their request for additional juxtaposed facilities here in Dover were declined they should have taken steps to provide those facilities in Calais. Yes, the last weekend was exceptionally busy, but businesses and organisations must plan for peaks and troughs and not expect their customers to simply endure chaos.
> I would say this is what is known as, "The Black Swan" theory, do you know what that is?
Yes, having read the book, and similar books, and coming from a maths-ish (more science and engineering) background, I know what it is.

And you clearly don't know what a black swan event is, if you think this past weekend's queues were an example of one ...
