Brexiter Tory MP proposes staycations to avoid Dover queues

People attempting to travel to mainland Europe via Dover remain in long queues.

The wait have been in excess of 12 hours.

It comes as No 10 has admitted that “new processes” brought in after Brexit has contributed to several days of travel chaos at the Port of Dover.

Port authorities say the situation is now improving for new arrivals, but parents told of coachloads of children still waiting to cross the Channel after arriving late on Saturday, reports The BBC.

The Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) called for “crisis talks” with the government, the Kent port and ferry companies to “resolve this mess once and for all”.

Staycation

It was left to John Redwood (for it is he) to seek a way out of this mess…

He said: “Why not take a holiday break in the UK to avoid the delays into France? Plenty of great places to stay.”

That's exactly what anyone heading for France on Eurotunnel this weekend has done. Spent it in the UK instead.

"Visit sewage strewn Beaches, you don't need France." Says Redwood.

Perhaps because we’ve all been advised to avoid 83 beaches right across the UK dues the raw sewage dumped into the sea? @sascampaigns https://t.co/MWktE7q5af pic.twitter.com/LF35P7aUjT

Were staycations what you had in mind when you voted to take back control?

Well let’s think shall we?
1. Our beaches are unusable since you filled the sea with raw human shit
2. Whole swathes of the UK hospitality industry went out of business because of Brexit
3. We’re all broke because you crashed the economy
4. Rocketing rail & petrol prices
5. Etc https://t.co/Dn4AfogtVi
