Thousands of Britons queue for hours to get to France. Once once more it shows that problems on the island can have many causes, but Brexit usually makes things worse.
A lot of patience was required at the Port of Dover this weekend (picture taken on Saturday 23rd July).
Lots of traffic jams at the beginning of the holiday are normal, but this one is special. Thousands of Brits have been stuck in miles-long queues of cars since Friday, some for more than ten hours. The deadlock prevails in the south-east of England, at the entrance to the ferry port of Dover and the Eurotunnel car train at Folkestone. The ferry port temporarily declared a state of emergency. The car transport was declared a “holiday hell hotspot” by the AA Automobile Association on Sunday.
