Literally yes. Surely you've heard them all on O'Brien, previously basting themselves bright pink in Spanish sun and then getting surprised that the rules applied to them as well and not just brown people trying to go to Britain.
"Wewl, why can't they just let us keep it how it was? We's already got the same rules innit? They're just being spiteful because we left the thing that we had to pay to get benefits from."
It was incredibly arrogant of these politicians and their loyal voters to think that even as an outside country we would have the same benefits of being in the EU. These border checks are EXACTLY the same for any other external countries bordering the EU. It's nothing to do with "being punished".

Corbyn is certainly due some opprobrium, although it's obviously not all, or even mostly, his fault.
This is really outrageous! Brexit ! That is what you wanted didn,t you. Did you expect that everything remained the same after you said goodby to the EU.! Come on. You are a third country now in terms of exports,imports ,free travel etc. Blaming the French shows your ignorance or pretended ignorance and arrogance. They are not under any obligation to chage their EU ways. Punishing us. How childish this man is !
When you're sent to jail, after having been nicked for theft, are the guards punishing you? Or is it your fault for never having learned the law? And for not taking into account the predictable consequences of your behaviour? Concretely: when you're no longer a member of the Union, you're a non-member i.e. third country. When you're in labour, giving birth in the hospitals, are the doctors punishing you? When you're regretting your imminent demise, as you're rushing to the ground, is the Earth about to punish you? Or should you have thought about what would happen upon jumping from the building?
@@ericarogers3053, hi! If I'm not mistaken, 'punish' means applying some measure of punishment as sanction for a transgression. I don't believe the guards are applying anything due to any transgression.
@@ceesjanmol Interesting philosophical question here. Are the guards part of the punishment, as would be the prison? Or is the prison just a building like the guards and prisoners are just people? I tend to lean towards the first idea. Which is why I can see there was a little misunderstanding. To avoid the confusion I would have said, "Should the criminal blame his lawyer and the judge when he has been caught red-handed and sent to prison?"
They said this would happen, they warned and they screamed it. After Brexit, this would happen! But “NO ITS THE EU’s FAULT! NO ONE TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD DO THIS!” 🙄🙄
@@lennonpolo This has been happening on and off every time pressure is put on your system. Go look it up on the internet. Your dodgy media doesn't cover it, conveniently... Your ports have been a shitshow since an agreement on Brexit was reached. This is only making big headlines because they can't hide it from the wider public because so many are trying to use the ports beyond the usual haulage traffic. Truckers have had to wait anything from 4 - 48 hours to get through the ports up until now. I wonder why your media doesn't report on this???
@@lennonpolo the vote was 6 years ago. We officially left in 2020 but coronavirus shut the economy down. Now that we have come out of covid we are seeing the reality of brexit. They warned people for years, that things like this would happen and the government just constantly lied and lied. And now, they’re blaming the EU for it.
Why should the French need to punish Britain? The British have very clearly demostrated, that they are highly capable and willing to flog themselves and still voted for the party that destroyed the British economy and reputation over the last 12 years.
??? Voting for Brexit made the UK a third country. Why is this so hard to understand ??? Maybe people should have educated themselves on what their Brexit vote actually meant.
And it's that easy for you to get blackmailed into giving up your sovereignty? You're a pathetic generation, and that's coming from a Frenchman. Stand up for yourself what's the matter with you!
Not much opportunity to have accurate information since project lie would call any facts fear mongering. If you were genuinely on the fence, finding correct information would have been hard
Every situation has a point of origin. In the case of Brexit, you're basically stating that a country can join The EU but never leave it. The problem wasn't leaving The EU, but more so people, like yourself apposing. Tony Blair going on, then Gina Miller's never ending moaning court case, Dominic Grieve, Andrew Adonis and then Theresa May trying to come up with a middle ground instead of leaving. Their constant interfering made the whole situation a mess.
Does he think the French should solve the infrastructure problems in Kent? Should the French have been better prepared for increased traffic due to school holidays starting in England? This man's bigotry reveals the arrogant mind set of "the world owes us a living" often to be found in older generation Brits. To pause and ask himself what chaos voting for Brexit has caused the Brits would not enter his mind. It was much easier to allow the Farage brigade of blatently rude EU members of parliament to offend every single EU country before they finally left than to try to understand why many EU countries are now sick to the back teeth of Brexiteers having the audacity to blame them for all the problems caused by their own ignorance and lack of preparation.
So he's saying "we want to take control of our nation and how it runs" while at the same time saying "France should do this because we say so". The logic of how pro Brexit people think baffles me.
Well done Britain. Showing the whole world what it’s like to leave the biggest single market, nose-drive into a recession and blame everyone else for Britain’s economic down turn. We, as the rest of the world would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Britain.
😂😂😂 in august it will be back to normal. The French side is under staff because they are all in holidays. 80% of french are in holiday during the month of July. People don't know this.
As a french person, I must tell you, I'm nearly rolling on the floor laughing. Yeah, you've been a bad, bad country, we gonna punish you. Riding crop is ready and all. Of we'll be so, so hard to you. And don't you deserve it... But in the meantime, feel free to bash our government, it's bonus, really. Don't forget to bash yours too, that's all.
It seems there is no in-between in England. Either it is "They need us more than we need them" and "We hold all the cards". The second option is "Mummy they’re punishing us!" when they don’t get what they want. Can’t they ever have a realistic view: we voted to be a third-country, that’s the same rules for every third-country, we have voted out our privileges.
'I don't know the situation on the ground' but I am sure it is a 'hostile power' punishing us for Brexit. Neil, your insecurities are showing. When my waiter ignores me and goes to someone else, they are a hostile power punishing me for having the gumption to sit further away.
Even if this were true, im not sure why the so called 'violent' French would care about Brits having to queue for days in Dover. End of free movement does not equal business as usual. French did not vote for that
What utter nonsense from UKIP - why should European governments pay for something that some of us did by leaving the EU ?- yet another Brexit benefit, thanks Boris and NIgel!
UK : We're leaving the EU France : Might cause some problems at Dover... UK : Nah, it will be fine... France : You might want a few more booths just in case... We spent 60 more millions at Calais, you might want to do the same, just to be sure... UK : Nope. 2 years later, 12-hour queue at Dover UK : It's because of the French... they hate us ! France : ....
It’s always everybody’s else fault but ours . We decided to leave the EU and moan because the French check our passports because they must know when we enter Europe because we can only stay for 3 months . Let’s face it Brexit is a disaster we loose 10 billion a year from trade to Europe which is our largest export market.
To avoid having complex visas requirement the EU would legally able to have for each country in the EU you pass through they offered a simpler solution: You can stay in the EU for 90 days within 6 months. But how can you check that if you not check-in or check-out at EU borders properly? The UK might not be willing to control their border, but the EU sure does.
How do they check it though? I went Berlin and Mallorca recently and I don't think they did any different checks than before other than proof of vaccination in Mallorca.
NO of course not. All third countries get the same treatment - Nigerians and UK citizens have same status and get the same treatment. Imagine how angry you would get if the EU gave preferential treatment to the Chileans. Brexit simply means you join these people and move downwards on the pecking order so-to-speak. Imagine the Japanese, the Chileans, the Nigerians ain't too happy with you though wilfully causing all those delays due to Brexit.
This British politicians are so entitled. They need to put their feet back on the ground. Why would the French pay for the extra cost of the bureaucracy that the British caused to themselves?
That's the thing... they did offer to pay more. They asked if there needed to be more booths and staff at Dover to help with things and the British government said no.
Even if it is the French being beligerent, the Brexiteers didn't think that might happen? Hamilton also needs to check his history - setting aside the Norman Invasion in 1066 - Dunkirk was possible because of the sacrifices the French 1st Army made otherwise it would have been a slaughter.
Why should French taxpayers fork out for the shortcomings of Brexiteers ? If the French decide to let one person per hour into France, it is their decision. Or are we saying that countries shouldn't have the right to sovereignty ?
These politicians must be nobs. It's always about me, me, me. Nobody is punishing anybody. Its simply new rules that must be applied. It's that simple. If France wants to be a bad neighbour then there are lots of ways to do that. They just need to start road works.
I know, not too long ago they were blaming Labour for the rail strikes. They will not be responsible for the collapse of the NHS either, despite all of the increased NHS funding being for private healthcare provision only. Taxpayers money being used to provide private healthcare, to the NHS, you couldn't make it up. :(.....edited for spelling mistake, sorry.
Never forget Neil Hamilton did a bit on Johnny Vegas's old show where he danced in a plastic box while dead fish where thrown at him. He's not one to take seriously on any subject.
Take responsibility for yourselves. The French don’t give a stuff about our mess, they certainly don’t invest in trying to make it go wrong. They don’t need to.
It has been repeatedly shown over the course of recorded human history that if there is a problem, no matter how great or small, if the brits are involved, whether they are involved directly or indirectly, they are the root of the problem. Just once, british nationalists, own up to your mistakes, assume accountability for your misdeeds, and stop desperately trying to deflect responsibility for your infantile, narrow-minded, egocentric petty boneheaded errors on to everyone else.
The only solution now with Brexit we control our borders is to have Exit visas to end the massive flow of people holidaying in Europe. It is far better for the economy if we have staycation. This is part of making Brexit work especailly for those in the hospitaity business !
@@johnrussell3961 Exit visas can be obtained on line with say 5 page questionaire and there will be less people travelling! We want to discourage people travel and holidaying in Britain!
Mr Hamilton should ask the French if they give a toss about the British suffering delays at Dover. The answer would probably be not really. That's the problem with leaving a union. Its like leaving a gym really. Once the subscription is not paid the gym owner won't lose any sleep about former subscribers getting fat
Surely people didn't think they'd be able to roll off the ferries as if they were still part of the EU? It's way past time for people to learn what they voted for.
One thing the Brexiters need bear in mind. They can blame the EU for Brexit mess in any way they like but they cannot change the rules of being a 3rd country and the negative consequences of Brexit.
If the French are punishing us for Brexit, it's still valid to blame Brexit. After all we wouldn't be in this mess if we were still in the EU. They can cry, "It's not fair" or "This isn't the Brexit I voted for" but it is the reality of the situation.
as a French, I can say that we have suffered of a lack of tourism for the last two years, what would be our benefit to retain UK tourists on the other side of the channel, this is utter stupidity !
"France is clearly a hostile power" Neil Hamilton, leader of UKIP about one of our closest allies. Im an atheist but I would probably start praying if this guy ever got any power.
Given this attitude, the EU should immediately implement all checks without exception, passport, 90/180, return tickets, fiance and accommodation. I would also reiterate to the UK government that there will again be no exceptions to the bio-metrics that will be coming in shortly. Fed up with this British, we are better than you attitude.
Back to the whole they need us more than we need them argument. The French will implement the border…and blame us for the consequences. They will not give in to blackmail.
Arrogance peaked here. I am English and have always wondered why we are considered arrogant around the world, this man explains it perfectly. I can only apologise.
He said at the end that the cause of the problem isn't brexit. But he also said that the French are trying to punish us. What would they be punishing us for? Well the answer to that is brexit. So we come full circle to the cause of the disruption, being unavoidably, brexit.
Is this the Neil Hamilton who was disgraced in John Major's day for accepting money in exchange for asking questions in the House? One should ask people who have passed the 6 mile queue to Dover what things were like on the French side?
Apparently in Calais, not all of the many kiosks were manned, because they did not need to be, there were no delays. Meanwhile, in Dover, all of the few kiosks were manned, but chaos. lol
I don't understand the trouble. In 2016 the people of UK decided leaving EU. Now they are out and complain at the EU / France, that they are out? You better should accept, you are not longer part of EU. Which mean, you can't travel in freedom through the EU, like a member of EU. So ... what exactly is your Problem UK? 😂😂
It might be due to the French punishing us but that still goes back round to being because of Brexit, the UK government decided to take us completely out of the EU and wanted us to get rid of free movement, now we have what we wanted and PM Cameron voted for non EU(third countries) to have the issues we now face. It's those supporting Brexit refusing to admit anything negative is Brexit related.
The UK government is punishing us for brexit more like 😂😂😂 can’t blame the EU for protecting their borders can we. Did we really think we would be able to carry on as normal whilst making others jump through hoops?

I don´t - and I do.
It’s always someone else’s fault. You got exactly what you voted for. Expect even larger delays in the future when the mandatory fingerprinting takes place. Well done England 👍👍😂😂
bio metrics might be more than just fingerprints !
Just don't go to France, simple 🤣👍
It's a non argument anyway even if it was the French, it was made clear during the pre Brexit debates that Europe would not make it easy for the UK.
So, if the response to you standing up for yourself will be negative, give it all up?
Pathetic generation. Sorry. And I'm french, yet I believe in UK more than some UK citizens themselves!
No different to going to any non EU country ........... do you shout this loud when you go to the States or Norway or Switzerland?
Remember the Yellowhammer government report and how it stated delays of a couple of minutes per vehicle would mean mile long queues. Takes time to stamp a passport which are now required due to brexit, not the French being difficult. Wait till biometric checks come in.
*Yellowhammer EDIT: it's corrected now 👍
@@GuusJanssen Whatever, but it has a sting in its tail :-)
It takes 2 seconds to stamp a passport. There are no delays anywhere else in the world, Why france? Because the french hate us.
@@FaBB10_FS24 Ever travelled to say America or Australia? You'll find exactly the same along with being questioned with things like "purpose of visit, business or pleasure".

Translation: We wanted the benefits of the EU for free
Here in the EU nobody ist talking about the Brexit anymore , we are happy the troublemakers have left so pls just stay home and enjoy the Brexit you are so proud of .
Imagine being angry at a person taking their time over deciding your entry into their house.
Well said. These Brexiters live in a fantasy land called BrexShit. They want the benefit of the club without being a member. They think they are so special and the whole world has to bow down to them. Pathetic mentality

Corbyn is certainly due some opprobrium, although it's obviously not all, or even mostly, his fault.
It's the French, I don't know what the situation is on the ground, but it's definitely the French.

This is really outrageous! Brexit ! That is what you wanted didn,t you. Did you expect that everything remained the same after you said goodby to the EU.! Come on. You are a third country now in terms of exports,imports ,free travel etc. Blaming the French shows your ignorance or pretended ignorance and arrogance. They are not under any obligation to chage their EU ways. Punishing us. How childish this man is !
Don't worry most people in UK know what brexit means. It's just those idiots like Hamilton who are still in denial.
When you're sent to jail, after having been nicked for theft, are the guards punishing you?
Or is it your fault for never having learned the law? And for not taking into account the predictable consequences of your behaviour? Concretely: when you're no longer a member of the Union, you're a non-member i.e. third country.
When you're in labour, giving birth in the hospitals, are the doctors punishing you?
When you're regretting your imminent demise, as you're rushing to the ground, is the Earth about to punish you? Or should you have thought about what would happen upon jumping from the building?
Technically, the guards ARE punishing you by keeping you there, but I do agree with the basic premise of what you're saying.
@@ericarogers3053, hi! If I'm not mistaken, 'punish' means applying some measure of punishment as sanction for a transgression. I don't believe the guards are applying anything due to any transgression.
Or if you are caught taking illegal bribes, is that France's fault?
@@ceesjanmol They're stopping you from leaving the prison, thereby applying punishment.
@@ceesjanmol Interesting philosophical question here. Are the guards part of the punishment, as would be the prison? Or is the prison just a building like the guards and prisoners are just people?
I tend to lean towards the first idea. Which is why I can see there was a little misunderstanding.
To avoid the confusion I would have said, "Should the criminal blame his lawyer and the judge when he has been caught red-handed and sent to prison?"
They said this would happen, they warned and they screamed it. After Brexit, this would happen! But “NO ITS THE EU’s FAULT! NO ONE TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD DO THIS!” 🙄🙄
Brexit was 6 years ago! Why now?
@@lennonpolo This has been happening on and off every time pressure is put on your system. Go look it up on the internet. Your dodgy media doesn't cover it, conveniently... Your ports have been a shitshow since an agreement on Brexit was reached. This is only making big headlines because they can't hide it from the wider public because so many are trying to use the ports beyond the usual haulage traffic. Truckers have had to wait anything from 4 - 48 hours to get through the ports up until now. I wonder why your media doesn't report on this???

@@lennonpolo Because this is the first summer post-Covid lockdown AND end of free movement? Was this so hard to find out yourself?
@@lennonpolo the vote was 6 years ago. We officially left in 2020 but coronavirus shut the economy down. Now that we have come out of covid we are seeing the reality of brexit. They warned people for years, that things like this would happen and the government just constantly lied and lied. And now, they’re blaming the EU for it.
Why should the French need to punish Britain? The British have very clearly demostrated, that they are highly capable and willing to flog themselves and still voted for the party that destroyed the British economy and reputation over the last 12 years.
Get a grip.

How are the likes of Neil Hamilton going to explain away the impending chaos when the biometric checks are implemented?
??? Voting for Brexit made the UK a third country. Why is this so hard to understand ??? Maybe people should have educated themselves on what their Brexit vote actually meant.
And it's that easy for you to get blackmailed into giving up your sovereignty?
You're a pathetic generation, and that's coming from a Frenchman. Stand up for yourself what's the matter with you!
Typical moaner answer .......... we have left, get over it!!!
Not much opportunity to have accurate information since project lie would call any facts fear mongering. If you were genuinely on the fence, finding correct information would have been hard
Every situation has a point of origin. In the case of Brexit, you're basically stating that a country can join The EU but never leave it. The problem wasn't leaving The EU, but more so people, like yourself apposing. Tony Blair going on, then Gina Miller's never ending moaning court case, Dominic Grieve, Andrew Adonis and then Theresa May trying to come up with a middle ground instead of leaving. Their constant interfering made the whole situation a mess.
Does he think the French should solve the infrastructure problems in Kent? Should the French have been better prepared for increased traffic due to school holidays starting in England? This man's bigotry reveals the arrogant mind set of "the world owes us a living" often to be found in older generation Brits. To pause and ask himself what chaos voting for Brexit has caused the Brits would not enter his mind. It was much easier to allow the Farage brigade of blatently rude EU members of parliament to offend every single EU country before they finally left than to try to understand why many EU countries are now sick to the back teeth of Brexiteers having the audacity to blame them for all the problems caused by their own ignorance and lack of preparation.
It’s up to the French to decide how many officers man the booth’s, if UK goes on like this, there’ll be one officer in a few days
All the booths are staffed, it's just each vehicle now takes longer to process, due to the extra passport checks associated with non-EU countries.
*booths
Go home nico
Hopefully
hahahaha really funny. Or they will all call off sick
Who on earth takes Neil Hamilton the disgraced Tory politician seriously in this day and age?
Got confused with another clip and deleted my comment. This guy is a shameless deluded loon, you are perfectly right.
So he's saying "we want to take control of our nation and how it runs" while at the same time saying "France should do this because we say so". The logic of how pro Brexit people think baffles me.
So we got our apparent independence and we are now at the mercy of the French border force?
Yes, someone appears to have taken back control.
The French aren'y punishing us, we've done this all to ourselves.
Well done Britain. Showing the whole world what it’s like to leave the biggest single market, nose-drive into a recession and blame everyone else for Britain’s economic down turn. We, as the rest of the world would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Britain.
This is what controlling a border looks like!
😂😂😂 in august it will be back to normal. The French side is under staff because they are all in holidays. 80% of french are in holiday during the month of July. People don't know this.
As a french person, I must tell you, I'm nearly rolling on the floor laughing. Yeah, you've been a bad, bad country, we gonna punish you. Riding crop is ready and all. Of we'll be so, so hard to you. And don't you deserve it... But in the meantime, feel free to bash our government, it's bonus, really. Don't forget to bash yours too, that's all.
0:38 "I don't know what the situation is." And yet you've decided you're an expert on the situation... Quite incredible.
But I thought we'd taken back control of our borders 😆
Spot on.
Shame France taking control of their borders 🤷♂️
Yeah but they didn't realise that would mean France takes back control of theirs
You have, but only in a limited and specific way 🤭.
We did! So did the French.
We the British really do have an inflated ego. The French don't care, they're just following the law of the land.
Utter codswallop! Who could possibly believe anything Neil Hamilton says given his track record!!!!!
Loads, infact. Loads.
Dude, Britain is NO LONGER part of the European Union. That´s an end to free movement for Brits in Europe. End of story.
Project Fear, becomes Project Reality.
It seems there is no in-between in England. Either it is "They need us more than we need them" and "We hold all the cards". The second option is "Mummy they’re punishing us!" when they don’t get what they want.
Can’t they ever have a realistic view: we voted to be a third-country, that’s the same rules for every third-country, we have voted out our privileges.
'I don't know the situation on the ground' but I am sure it is a 'hostile power' punishing us for Brexit. Neil, your insecurities are showing. When my waiter ignores me and goes to someone else, they are a hostile power punishing me for having the gumption to sit further away.
No, they're resentful because you beat them in the sprint at a primary school's Sports Day
I think in Neil Hamilton's case, they're just punishing him for being Neil Hamilton!
@@craigsmith7457 I think being Neil Hamilton is punishment enough.
Even if this were true, im not sure why the so called 'violent' French would care about Brits having to queue for days in Dover. End of free movement does not equal business as usual. French did not vote for that
Dude this happens every year at the start of the summer holidays
This is what you want, this is what you get!
What utter nonsense from UKIP - why should European governments pay for something that some of us did by leaving the EU ?- yet another Brexit benefit, thanks Boris and NIgel!
UK : We're leaving the EU
France : Might cause some problems at Dover...
UK : Nah, it will be fine...
France : You might want a few more booths just in case... We spent 60 more millions at Calais, you might want to do the same, just to be sure...
UK : Nope.
2 years later, 12-hour queue at Dover
UK : It's because of the French... they hate us !
France : ....
It’s always everybody’s else fault but ours . We decided to leave the EU and moan because the French check our passports because they must know when we enter Europe because we can only stay for 3 months . Let’s face it Brexit is a disaster we loose 10 billion a year from trade to Europe which is our largest export market.
To avoid having complex visas requirement the EU would legally able to have for each country in the EU you pass through they offered a simpler solution: You can stay in the EU for 90 days within 6 months. But how can you check that if you not check-in or check-out at EU borders properly? The UK might not be willing to control their border, but the EU sure does.
How do they check it though? I went Berlin and Mallorca recently and I don't think they did any different checks than before other than proof of vaccination in Mallorca.
Europe doesn't need to punish the UK for Brexit...
The UK is punishing themselves just fine !
.
Are they punishing the Japanese, the Chileans, the Nigerians and anyone else from a third country queuing to enter France today for brexit too?
NO of course not. All third countries get the same treatment - Nigerians and UK citizens have same status and get the same treatment. Imagine how angry you would get if the EU gave preferential treatment to the Chileans. Brexit simply means you join these people and move downwards on the pecking order so-to-speak. Imagine the Japanese, the Chileans, the Nigerians ain't too happy with you though wilfully causing all those delays due to Brexit.
This British politicians are so entitled. They need to put their feet back on the ground. Why would the French pay for the extra cost of the bureaucracy that the British caused to themselves?
That's the thing... they did offer to pay more. They asked if there needed to be more booths and staff at Dover to help with things and the British government said no.
Even if it is the French being beligerent, the Brexiteers didn't think that might happen? Hamilton also needs to check his history - setting aside the Norman Invasion in 1066 - Dunkirk was possible because of the sacrifices the French 1st Army made otherwise it would have been a slaughter.
Fake news
@@nathanfurnival8724 Yes, you are.
@@nathanfurnival8724 which? Hastings or Dunkirk?
Why should French taxpayers fork out for the shortcomings of Brexiteers ?
If the French decide to let one person per hour into France, it is their decision.
Or are we saying that countries shouldn't have the right to sovereignty ?
These politicians must be nobs. It's always about me, me, me. Nobody is punishing anybody. Its simply new rules that must be applied. It's that simple. If France wants to be a bad neighbour then there are lots of ways to do that. They just need to start road works.
The Tories, 12 years in charge however miraculously not responsible for anything that happens under their administration!
I know, not too long ago they were blaming Labour for the rail strikes. They will not be responsible for the collapse of the NHS either, despite all of the increased NHS funding being for private healthcare provision only. Taxpayers money being used to provide private healthcare, to the NHS, you couldn't make it up. :(.....edited for spelling mistake, sorry.
Never forget Neil Hamilton did a bit on Johnny Vegas's old show where he danced in a plastic box while dead fish where thrown at him. He's not one to take seriously on any subject.
They should do that again, with all the other prominent brexiteers
Well at least he didn't con an entire nation.
Take responsibility for yourselves. The French don’t give a stuff about our mess, they certainly don’t invest in trying to make it go wrong. They don’t need to.
It has been repeatedly shown over the course of recorded human history that if there is a problem, no matter how great or small, if the brits are involved, whether they are involved directly or indirectly, they are the root of the problem. Just once, british nationalists, own up to your mistakes, assume accountability for your misdeeds, and stop desperately trying to deflect responsibility for your infantile, narrow-minded, egocentric petty boneheaded errors on to everyone else.
Sadly, they never have, nor ever will accept responsibility for anything. It is the fault of (insert random country name here).
This UKIP chap is delusional.
The only solution now with Brexit we control our borders is to have Exit visas to end the massive flow of people holidaying in Europe. It is far better for the economy if we have staycation. This is part of making Brexit work especailly for those in the hospitaity business !
Or People Vehicle Movement Service system similar to GVMS
@@alexwars8327 No we need to deal not only with people in vehicles but airports

Throw a few Sharks in the channel and we will be as secure as Alcatraz.
Mr Hamilton should ask the French if they give a toss about the British suffering delays at Dover. The answer would probably be not really. That's the problem with leaving a union. Its like leaving a gym really. Once the subscription is not paid the gym owner won't lose any sleep about former subscribers getting fat
Surely people didn't think they'd be able to roll off the ferries as if they were still part of the EU? It's way past time for people to learn what they voted for.
One thing the Brexiters need bear in mind. They can blame the EU for Brexit mess in any way they like but they cannot change the rules of being a 3rd country and the negative consequences of Brexit.
If the French are punishing us for Brexit, it's still valid to blame Brexit. After all we wouldn't be in this mess if we were still in the EU. They can cry, "It's not fair" or "This isn't the Brexit I voted for" but it is the reality of the situation.
Oh shut up.... If everthing goes wong then its Everyone elses fault and the UK is innocent....
as a French, I can say that we have suffered of a lack of tourism for the last two years, what would be our benefit to retain UK tourists on the other side of the channel, this is utter stupidity !
Funny, Neil doesn’t know what the situation is but he’d like to blame France and the EU.
"France is clearly a hostile power" Neil Hamilton, leader of UKIP about one of our closest allies. Im an atheist but I would probably start praying if this guy ever got any power.
Ironically this has proven that it is possible to be in the EU and control your own borders.
Shh! Don't let the Mail and Express readers see this!
Typical UK wanting our cake and too eat it.
Treating you like you are not a member of the EU when you are not a member of the EU is "punishment". The entitlement is breathtaking.
Given this attitude, the EU should immediately implement all checks without exception, passport, 90/180, return tickets, fiance and accommodation. I would also reiterate to the UK government that there will again be no exceptions to the bio-metrics that will be coming in shortly. Fed up with this British, we are better than you attitude.
Why blame an other country or the EU? You have chosen to EX IT. The problem would be solved if everybody stayed at home so live with the consequences
I don't believe it as the French would be punishing themselves by the loss of tourist spending.
Huh? They don’t want brit tourists. They see you as low class
Back to the whole they need us more than we need them argument. The French will implement the border…and blame us for the consequences. They will not give in to blackmail.
Arrogance peaked here. I am English and have always wondered why we are considered arrogant around the world, this man explains it perfectly. I can only apologise.
He said at the end that the cause of the problem isn't brexit. But he also said that the French are trying to punish us. What would they be punishing us for? Well the answer to that is brexit. So we come full circle to the cause of the disruption, being unavoidably, brexit.
Ummm we voted for this. It's our fault. Not the French.
Is this the Neil Hamilton who was disgraced in John Major's day for accepting money in exchange for asking questions in the House? One should ask people who have passed the 6 mile queue to Dover what things were like on the French side?
Apparently in Calais, not all of the many kiosks were manned, because they did not need to be, there were no delays. Meanwhile, in Dover, all of the few kiosks were manned, but chaos. lol
I don't understand the trouble. In 2016 the people of UK decided leaving EU. Now they are out and complain at the EU / France, that they are out? You better should accept, you are not longer part of EU. Which mean, you can't travel in freedom through the EU, like a member of EU. So ... what exactly is your Problem UK? 😂😂
We have more serious things to worry about in Europe than giving in to a 3rd country hissy fit.
It might be due to the French punishing us but that still goes back round to being because of Brexit, the UK government decided to take us completely out of the EU and wanted us to get rid of free movement, now we have what we wanted and PM Cameron voted for non EU(third countries) to have the issues we now face. It's those supporting Brexit refusing to admit anything negative is Brexit related.
Some these brexiteers need straight jackets
"All of...."
UK is a third country now. Like many others outside EU. And it requires more checks. Simple as that.
The delays are all the fault of the tory con of brexet.
