Port of Dover

[Gardian]

Shambolic situation (again) at Dover.

The Port of Dover authorities are blaming the general public - “Too many coaches have been booked unexpectedly.”

The ferry companies are blaming the requirement (brought about by Brexit) for every single passport to be examined & stamped.

The public are blaming the French for insufficiently manning their border control booths at Dover.

The French don’t really care much.

I’ve been more than a bit ‘cavalier’ with the above summary, but it does I think illustrate the point that just about everybody is blaming somebody else.

The thought of being a teacher / minder on a coachload of schoolchildren held up just trying to get through Dover for 12hrs, is impossible to imagine.
