Land at Hull docks is being used to ease potential congestion on roads.
I’m pretty…
Sure that Hull docks is nowhere near Calais or Dover. Perhaps you could change the thread title to ‘Queues At Any Port I Can Think Of To Prove My Point’.

Hull isn`t Dover, but it is a port with EU links. Hardly a tenuous connection.
You and Maoster have any comment on the relevancy of this then?

I take it you’re a fan of eradicating all tariffs and border controls then?I think he calls it positive because the system is working and likely to get better as users adapt
It’s just coincidence that human trafficking is now endemic

Noy sure why you reproduced my post without comment
Perhaps you felt it deserved reinforcing or we’re now engaged in some kind of psychic debate?
I’m gifted - but not in that way.

How many times have you left the North of England Monkey??
And have you ever left the UK - apart from a holiday to Benidorm ■■

Out of the last 30 years I’ve spent half living in the EU.
By all means try and condescend but I’d encourage you to be a little smarter about it [emoji6]

Most of us in the UK have spent the last 40 odd years living in the EU - it’s only a year since we stopped living in the EU
When you are not back home in Yorkshire/Essex, I guess from your answer you were in Spain or similar

Oh no.
Yet again with an open goal you fire wide.
I differentiated from the EU as it is now…hence the comment.
I’m sorry I had to explain it But not surprised.

Doesn’t have to be Apeman - you could be a neighbour of that Frenchman Nigel Fartage from Kent, but on average most Brexit supporters hail from areas with a large Asian community (Up North), and whilst obviously not in the slightest bit racist they voted leave to keep Asian immigrants out of Britain, as the Mail, Express, Telegraph, directed them.

I have no comment because I’m not particularly interested in internet point scoring. I’m more than happy to wallow in the warm feeling that Brexit has given me. Admittedly it may well be the short lived warm feeling one gains from wetting one’s pants, but until it goes cold and starts to chafe it’s my warm feeling, and by God I’ll revel in it.

Given that my first wife was Asian and my second of mixed race heritage it would appear I don’t have issues with colour.
Where I live? Asians are represented in a similar number to the UK demographic.
You epitomise why you lost the debate on Brexit: you were obsessed in fighting an argument that all too often wasn’t there.
I’m all for increased immigration based on required skills. I just didn’t favour a system that tended to import predominantly white low skilled Europeans at the expense of darker skinned peoples.
Perhaps it’s you that has issues with colour?
Oh and by the way …my monkey moniker comes from my old job role. Its a loving epithet from other colleagues - you’re wasting your time trying to use it as abuse (that’s what it always was [emoji1787])

This ^^^ a gazillion percent. It’s a lazy and ill thought out argument from remainers that Brexit was about immigration and skin colour to Brexiteers. I’ve got news for you, it wasn’t! It’s something that you’ve convinced yourselves of in a pathetic attempt to gain the moral high ground.
I don’t need to explain my feelings on skin colour to an anonymous internet user but I will say that as an ex professional soldier I have people of every skin hue that I was and still am proud to call brother. My issue is and again always was that I can’t abide bullies, and the EU was the epitome of a bully.

Long delays of…
Up to 15 minutes reported today at Seacliff, the UK’s smallest port at only 12m long. Fish porter Sam McCullough accidentally kicked over three half full herring trays. The resulting commotion stopped the whole port for almost 15 minutes.
Harbour Master James (JimmerUBazzad) McGrooty has assured locals that it wasn’t due to new regulations. Just ‘Dozy Sam driving his fork-lift like the numbnuts he is’.

This is probably the biggest load of cobblers I’ve heard in decades!
So, the Public Affairs Committee has been looking at Brexit, again.
bbc.com/news/business-60308494
“UK firms have been hit by “increased costs, paperwork and border delays” as a result of Brexit, MPs have said.
A report from parliament’s spending watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), found costs for businesses had risen and trade had fallen as a result of leaving the EU.”
“Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays.”
"And it described government plans to create the most effective border in the world by 2025 as “optimistic, given where things stand today”.
“Physical checks on the import of food products are due to begin in July…Lorries arriving at the port will have to travel 60 miles to Ebbsfleet, if their consignments need to be physically checked by customs officers. …”
