They weren't just late they then went the wrong way to Dover so got stuck in the same jam their original lateness had caused so were chronically late and the whole fiasco had as its root cause a gross failure of people with French passports. That's your storuy. However, Leclerc, the French official, was saying that staff were late for just over an hour. I find this credible. And I have not read anything that disproves his just-over-an hour-late story. At any rate, the claim that 5 French border officials coming just-over-an-hour late for work -- at the behest of the French national government, at that! -- caused the massive jam in Dover just completely lacks credibility. Particularly, when you consider that two British officials conceded that new Brexit border procedures were to blame. It's certainly true that the French tried to pretend staff were only an hour late blaming problems in the Tunnel . . . that occurred hours after they were supposed to be in position. If the French told you the moon's a balloon would you believe that too? |

I'm neither stupid nor a Brexit promoter so, No. The same way I wouldn't just give credence to some poster's claim that "the French tried to pretend staff were only an hour late blaming problems in the Tunnel." |

The French decide on how they are going to man the checkpoints at their borders - the UK has absolutely no input in that decision. Yes, they do. So? So, you're leading me back to your spurious claim that the French decided to cut down staff at the port of Dover. Deliberately!  Does the number of open checkpoints at a border have any impact on the length of the queues? |
