what a shame Dover doesn't have more capacity for processing passports
why didn't anybody think of building more?
Oooops
they did
"UK rejects Dover funding bid for more French passport booths
Cabinet office turns down £33m proposal raising prospect of long delays for passengers from January 1"

"According to a person familiar with the matter, Dover applied for £33m to double the number of French government passport booths from five to 10 in anticipation of more stringent requirements including stamps in passports after January 1."
"France is deploying 700 extra customs officers and veterinary inspectors to its Channel ports, including the entrance to the Channel Tunnel near Calais, and has spent €40m on a new IT system and handling facilities. New parking zones have been paved and set aside for trucks without the correct paperwork."

there is no alternative to the protocol so the childish DUP better suck it up and take responsibility for what they voted for
lets be honest the deluded DUP thought there would be a land border. ...but what theyve done is the biggest boost to reunification for a lifetime
I posted the facts
half the population of Northern Ireland have moved on....they dont care for NI politics, they care about important stuff like economy, healthcare etc
you just dont like the fact NI is mostly pro EU
Your not in the UK then? I detect an EU aspect to it. In that respect you are in the UK. What it does you go along with.

Well, they still have control over our fishing areas, our Northern Ireland connection, the fact that we have to continue to pay them to cover pensions for our ex-EU employees, effective control of our Border Farce, control of what we do by virtue of the Civil Service (and others) who support the EU in every way they can. Then there's this:
Retained EU law: 10 key questions | Travers Smith
The UK's departure from the European Union has not led to all EU-derived law being jettisoned; on the contrary, a significant proportion of it has been kept and the UK now has a new category of "retained EU law".

Well, thanks to BLiar we have effectively given N.I. the freedom to make its own decisions. Nothing wrong with that, I believe, but why not go the whole hog and give N.I. the right to be a completely independent country?
They can also then decide between themselves whether or not to rejoin the EU.
