Dover Chaos Deliberate?

[Togo]

Do the French border police really think that the recent terrorists came from the UK. Or is this engineered delay just another example of frog truculence?

// Highways England ‏said that “French border police at the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel continue to follow French government requirements to deliver heightened security checks” following recent attacks, the Press Association reports.
P&O Ferries tweeted: “Heightened security check at French Border Control in Dover due to events in France, we’ll get you on your way as soon as you check in.”//

Never heard the expressions, 'French Letter', 'Frenchie', Johnny'?

These pictures can only show the severity of the situation, imagine the plight of any of these travellers?

Not too bad for the owners of the caravans or campers, they have access to toilet, cooking and washing faculties, but what of the owners of a cramped family car?

here's a travel report from the other side of france - sorry whilst SNCF have an english website, the trafic previsions page doesn't feature:-

essentially it's saying that international trains are being delayed due to security checks.

At Calais, the UK Border Agency could open lanes for UK registered cars only. Who is surprised that les grenouiles behave like this? They know that if the UK leaves they will be in the mire financially.

Well I personally think it was engineered by the French. It was my immediate reaction!

UK registered cars don't guarantee UK passengers zebo, nor do they guarantee that there will be no forbidden goods in them (bombs etc).

So all the recent arms and explosives used in the terror attacks on France have been routed through the UK port of Dover? All the terrorists themselves heralded from Britain? Nonsense. The French know full well where the threat lies. This was just an exercise in the usual bloody minded, make things awkward for the British holidaymaker, game that is played out every year. They have used the terror threat as a smokescreen, the shameless, peevish, losers.

I didn't say that anything WAS brought through the port of Dover Togo; I was simply pointing out that, if there were no checks, anything COULD be taken through the port. If you were a terrorist and knew that the Dover route was not monitored, wouldn't that be a good way to get things in?

[Togo]

Yes of course, and to facilitate the increased security checks and to show extra vigilance at a time of massive holiday traffic the French had......... one, yes one, "customs" officer on duty. Now they try to justify the wicked behaviour and besmirch the memories of the poor souls who have been slaughtered in doing so.
