So, yes, the French were responsible for the disruption, although the people on here who try to blame our government and Brexit for everything will try to twist the facts to suit themselves.  |

The Port of Dover is expanding border capacity to avoid queues, as traveller numbers rise to pre-pandemic levels.
A deal has been struck with the French border force to man 50% extra passport booths, which are being installed before the summer getaway weekend of 22-24 July.
