- After a weekend of chaos at the port of Dover and Folkestone brought on by post-Brexit requirements for entering the EU, this is James O'Brien's devastating takedown of Tory MPs who have led a 'crisis of intelligence and understanding' of their own Brexit deal.

Let's not forget Chris Grayling awarded a £13.8m contract to charter extra ferries to a “start-up” company with no ships
And the terms and conditions of a fast food delivery company.
He also sold off probation (privatised) which was a disaster leaving unsupervised criminals amongst us and our children .It was so bad that it had to be brought back into public ownership at a cost of hundreds of millions of tax payers money.
@@verystripeyzebra It was a pizza delivery company, so obviously we should blame the Italians.
Who copied their terms and conditions from an online takeaway service
Which was pointless even if they did have the ships. Not expanding the infrastructure at the ports added to the extended time to pass customs they wouldn't have been able to make use of them anyway
James, you are wrong: they do understand. They just have to keep on supporting the lie or else it all starts to unravel and then they have to take responsibility for the mess they have created.
We do understand, this is what I voted for 😂 reduce this country to rubble , bring the middle class low, make them wretched
@@nathanfurnival8724 fallen for James O’Brien propaganda.
Exactly. They understand it well.
And don't forget that there will never be a border down the Irish sea,oops
They should all be sacked.
They aren't thick. They are rich, selfish, entitled people who think the rules don't apply to them.
True. The real thickies are the UK voters who believed their lies.
A friend of mine is a lorry driver he uses these ports every week. He says the last time dover was updated was in the 1980's He also says comming back in the UK from France is a breze because the French ports are up to date and designed to cope with large amounts of traffic.
As soon as you pass the French side with everything nice and glittery and when reaching the English side it looks run down. I believe this is true not only at Dover all their stations through to Parise are also nice and glittery. But all the stations through to London look run down. Is it not true that the EU subsidize the French side with money from Treasure Island. We were in the EU at that time and as usual we got nothing.
The French asked the Tories if they wanted more booths in December 2020 but the Tories said no we don’t need them
It was not just more booths, it was more staff to go with them.
Don't ruin things with facts.
I thought the French asked for more booths, Dover is after all under UK control.
..they would rather spend £150 million on deporting legal asylum seekers to Rwanda than make British peoples lives smooth and helping us during travel abroad.
They have 12 booths and they were manning only 6 of them hence the carnage! The day after when all 12 were fully staffed there wasn't any issues 🙄
I’m a registered nurse soon to have no fixed abode. I’m getting a divorce and I’m going to have to move into a vehicle to keep my head above water. I simply cannot run a house on my own with these staggering increases in our costs of living. I won’t be the only one having to resort to this. It’s a disgrace. I have a degree in nursing- it means nothing
Thats outrageous! And the Government are more concerned with pushing their agenda than sorting out the economy and helping people like you. I wish you well.
I’m really sorry to hear this my wife is a nurse if that counts for anything if you really are in trouble I think we all should help each other because nobody else is going to and the moment we start helping each other they lose
And
It's disgusting. I hope you get sorted, even a room in a mates is better than your car. That's not sustainable.
did you take an active interest in pandemic preparedness prior to 2019 and pressure the government into being prepared?
As has been said by many - "The Brexit voters have got their wish. The free movement of people into and out of the UK has been achieved" Problem is it applies fully to UK citizens too. Once the luddites realise that we are now an external entity to the EU France is obliged to protect the EU's borders , just as Spain, Portugal, Italy ...etc. are. I wonder how easy it is for non-UK residents coming into the UK ? Oh .. but of course that is different .......
They do need tourism though. It's 8% of their GDP. There is no doubt it was understaffed by the French.
@@anthonymcguire3618 and no doubt due to brexit the required checks take longer. I also wonder what portion of the 8% is UK tourists. I suspect we want it fixed allot more than they do.
French aren't so keen to check on those immigrants ("fleeing war and terror") leaving the EU to get into the UK (Jez, the EU's not that bad,is it?)
People forget that Brexit works both ways
Speaking to Tory voters the other day and their primary concern, during this period of constant crisis, is still... immigration. Not the cost of living, the NHS, the cronyism and corruption in govt, not the environment it's all still about foreign people.
And if there is a genuine immigration crisis,
the crisis is we can't attract enough!
And it always will be.
It has always been about the racism.
The Tories handed out 1M visas to foreigners in 2021. 3.5 million extra population in the last ten years. 3.5 million people cost a lot. Big strain on the NHS, infrastructure, environment, housing, schools etc etc.
@@markwelch3564 1million visas were given out in 2021. Our population grew by 3.5 million immigrants in the last ten years. Our country is overpopulated. We have to close the borders and put a stop to all immigration for 5-10 years.
@@eliakimjosephsophia4542 We aren't growing much at all, about 0.5% a year, and the trend is to grow a bit less each year. As things stand we will soon have a shrinking population!
If that is what they learn at Eton, we have to come to the conclusion that Eton does not give you an education but an attitude ...
Its worked for 300 years ... they are still in charge.
I've been wondering eversince this whole sh*itshow began how long will it take for this mess to affect global universities ' rankings...seeing the abysmal level of critical thinking produced by oxbridge educated UK politician surely reflects badly on top british universities
This is telling so many lies they've forgotton the lies that they told before and wont remember the lies that theyre telling now!
The Pandemic was a very timely cover for Brexit. This is the first summer where people are going back to normal and are now finally seeing its consequences.
Indeed.
yet scores for f uninformed, indoctrinated Bozzo Cult Followers still think the Tories are for them !
Didn't the Pandemic effect the whole world ? I think it was a very timely cover for all nations, wouldn't you say ?
@@trytellingthetruth.2068 Well I can't speak for other nations but I know in mine we didn't deliberately embark on a massive overwhelmingly destructive long-term economic upheaval by choice. We'll recover from the pandemic downturn. Britain will still be worse off out of the EU after we're all pulling up.
@@taranullius9221
Being part of a FREE trade area that cost £billions to be part of. Yeah, great move that was
Fought through the absolute nightmare of Folkestone eurotunnel on the weekend. Long story short - it took 8 hours to travel 70 miles from home, sit in endless queues, pass border controls (all booths fully manned note), wait to get on a train to Calais. Then drove 530 miles accross France to our holiday destination also in 8 hours. This is the same journey we've done for 5 previous years pre covid and we have never experienced anything like this at Folkestone even in peak holiday season before Wrexit. But of course... Its all the fault of the French.
Should have just hopped on a dinghy..seems to be the way everyone else who wants to get out of the EU quickly solves the problem..and you're guaranteed no interference from French customs..in fact they're glad to see the back of you
I can't stand Jacob Rees Mogg. He's so arrogant and thinks he's better than everyone and can justify Brexit with ridiculous reasoning. His only reason he wants Brexit is so that he doesn't need to declare his offshore accounts to the EU
But he's doing business in Dublin

Hi James , I fear for my grandchildren, if these people are not removed from power. I am so very worried about this situation.
If you're concerned about your grandchildrens future, the Tories are the least of your worries.
Thank’s James, I’m glad I’m not the only one raving at this fiasco.
The Tories claim to be the party of personal responsibility yet they love to blame other people for basically everything.
A bit like your SNP then all politicians arecrap some worse than others.

*THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT TH4Y THOUGHT IT MEANT* Stop the people coming here - BUT the British are SO SPECIAL that we will continue to have ALL the same benefits - if not MORE...!!!
once Jonny Foreigner realised how much they needed us!!!
I remember waiting to exit passport control in the USA a few years back ,extremely frustrated with the length of time it was taking .The queue was long the staffing levels were way too small.
Looking at the US citizens control ,no problem ,staffed adequetly ,no queues and running smoothly .We are a third country now this is and will be the norm for many years to come.
My small take on this as a British citizen living in the EU (yes, it was three years of nail biting anxiety for us too)
There will never be accountability until the British media, especially the tabloids are reined in.
Whatever the Tory politicians say, they know that they will be defended & blunders & ignorance forgotten.
An honest media and proportional representation replacing an out of date electoral system combined is the ONLY way out.
I've been saying that for years.
Well said
👍👍👏👏👏
Spot on. Some of us have been calling for PR, shame we seem to be stuck with first past the post
The BBC has become worse than the D Mail - embarrassing garbage
It is not the French responsibility to build more infrastructure to cope with the extra bureaucracy that is coming from Brexit.
The French are investing in biometric scanners at Calais. When they come into operation French immigration checks in Dover will end.
It will require everyone to leave their vehicles and go to the scanner building.
They cannot make this work as quick as the old border.
As far as they are concerned….we voted to turn an Internal EU border into a much slower international one.
There where advantages to EU membership which brexiteers refuse to accept.
Well, if they want to control their border in a timely fashion it is. But they are well within their rights to just let the queues build up.
@@verystripeyzebra hahahaha, it is not their responsibility to cover for the messes the UK caused. You spill the cup of soda on yourself, you get your clothes washed yourself.
@@verystripeyzebra There isn't any issue of illegal immigration from the UK to France, they are controlling their border already. The backlogs are on the UK side so the timeliness of people going through slower is hurting people here, not in France. It's a purely British problem.
in reality we just handed the border to the french.
Yet people still think the Tories are doing a great job. It defies logic.
The Tories could convince right wingers to walk for miles ,barefoot ,to vote for a no shoes tax ,merely by saying that one of the shoes is on the left. Magic.
Can’t fix sheepology folks
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391 I wouldn't put it past them.
@Dr Diablory are you serious? Majority of media peddled is left to far left wing, so are the schools, university's , big corporate culture, civil services. You guys were pretty thorough with the Leftist corruption. At least the people running it all are or complicit if they don't believe , the overwhelming number of people are more sane, but not in control.
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391
You are absolutely right. This government are an absolute shower.
But the alternative is a Labour government that goes against a democratic vote, then tells the country, if they were in charge, they'd put together a plan, offer it to the EU, then vote against it
Wonderful.
As a citizen of colony of former British empire, I am enjoying the decline of the UK🍿 🤣🤣
Amazing how many citizens of now free ex-colonies are fleeing their independent countries to come to... the UK
Every time I see something like this on the news (queues at Dover, cost of living crisis, NHS staffing crisis), I look over to my wife and say "brexit means brexit".
Say what you like, she isn't listening to you. She's thinking of the milkman.
Who would have thought that the French could control their borders from within the EU?
Not the conservatives? Is that the right answer?
🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't the Schengen Borders Code control the French borders?
@@martynblackburn9632 And your point is?
@@martynblackburn9632 Most EU member states are also members of the Schengen Area. The United Kingdom opted out of joining the Schengen Area.
Seeing James in regular intervals helps remind me that I am actually sane. Thanks James!
Echo chamber

Absolutely well said. His level of incredulity matches my own.
I am happy to go through the cross border checks despite not voting for Brexit . Those complaining about delays getting into the EU need to pull their fingers out and get used to the reality of their actions .
100% agree James. Stay well and please never change
This is what controlling a border looks like!
Total chaos 🚚🚛🚐🚗🚙😠😡🤬
Could the Dover situation be because they invested 0.1% of the investment required (£30k)
Lol. Facing an explosion in paperwork but they want to spend about as much as one entry-level civil servant’s salary.
They added a number of booths just before the weekend.
@@2adamast "just before the weekend"! Two years after the French asked if they wanted more!

I needed an airbag sensor for my car and it took 2 weeks to arrive from Germany. The Mercedes’ dealer said it used to take 48 hours before Brexit. Although it’s just a minor inconvenience for me I can imagine the damage this has done to Just In Time manufacturing here in the UK.
It's almost like it's France's border too and they get an equal say in who enters their country.
Equal?! Not exclusive, then?
@@thegrandmuftiofwakanda We decide who we let into our country and they intern decide who enters there's. You want easier access to the continent then you shouldn't have voted to leave the EU.
@@w-james9277
To start with, I will charitably advance you a lesson in the English language :
1. I believe you mean "in turn", not "intern. An intern is a student or trainee who works, sometimes without pay, in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification.
2. It's "theirs" not "there's".
Now to the substantive point, yet again :
If the French are going to make visitors wait 6 hours at its border just because they are from a non-EU country then non-EU tourists will not want to holiday in France, and non-EU businesses will not want to do business in France. Either France wants to be an open global player, or it wants to be North Korea. It's that simple.
Well said James. Led by Donkeys have a brilliant video of various of these scheming, lying, disingenuous SOB’s (Mogg, Johnson, Raab et al)- playing live to motorists and truck drivers stuck outside ports. Do watch.
Is it on their twitter? I haven't seen anything yet about them
It's hilarious.
A cracking video
" Her majesty's secretary of state requires in the name of her majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary "
This statement sums up the out of date imperialist arrogance on which the Tory government appears to make its decisions 🤔
It's shocking that politicians can lie and it be ok.
Its like you throwing yourself of a cliff and blaming your neighbours for not building a catch net when you smash yourself to pieces on the ground.
Especially if the neighbours are French.
James we are a joke and have been for a while.Mogg is on something what it is I don't know but it is working.He is mad.
We have such a high reliance on the Dover crossing that we only have a single two-way road to get there and NO facilities for truck drivers 🇬🇧
BRILLIANT.
well this M20 malarky over the weekend caused by Brexit.
As a remain voter, i did so knowing that this would happen and yet was told "project fear" however to those who voted leave, WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!

Agreed too many nancy whiney lefty remoaners
Well put James, they make me sick to the pit of my stomach. I cannot understand how anyone can be taken in by them.
We vote for them just because we hate “people “ like you

Most Brexiteers’ don’t give a toss about the country’s future wellbeing, it appears. To be able to support this current cabinet tells you all you need to know. When they’re cornered in to explaining what three benefits have already happened, a standard response is something like ‘tough, you lost, live with it, lol’. I know, you can’t make it up. An electorate gets the government it deserves.
Put up and shut up , or just leave the U.K.
Some people that voted out are in denial and some are realising it's a disaster 👍
@@flipperflipper-eo2gp how is it a disaster
Ah yes and the EU is doing just great,because the last time I looked they have pretty much the same problems as we do and in some areas are in a worse position
Just tell me three benefits the UK has received since your naive and regretful vote - I’m waiting, just three.
Blame everyone but themselves, its the French today it'll be the Irish tomorrow because of the protocol.
At this point they are so detached from the real world that all hope is lost.
checking lorries at Dover (or any border) is, according to WTO rules, what you MUST do UNLESS you are in a customs Union. We used to be in a customs union before Brexit. And if that Bill about Northern Ireland becomes law we will be thrown out of the WTO for breaking the rules.
I've just spoken to Dominic Raab (who is an expert on matters geographical) and he has confirmed for me, as he had previously confirmed to J R-M, that Calais is on the English side of the Channel and Le Dover is on the French side. So, that makes J R-M correct about where the delays would be, doesn't it. We've really stuck it to the French with Brexit, haven't we! Or is my brain suffering a serious loss of freedom of movement?
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👏👏👏
James PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO INTO POLITICS! You and Ian Hislop would be a perfect combination!
It is not just the people in charge, it is also journalists who seem to be unable to ask simple questions and finally the voters who seem to be content with everything.
I said just after "the vote" that it was like we were at a party, had shat on the carpet, stamped it in, then complained that nobody was helping to clear it up.
That metaphorical scenario just keeps playing out again & again as the UK government tries to deflect blame from the unworkable mess we're in.

Did you not vote on the premise the politicians would do the best for Britain? I voted leave on that basis. The last 6 years have been a complete waste mate.

Now can Britain exit a market and cut all ties? Of course it can, any country has that right to do what they think is best for their country. But if you were entangled with other countries through a common set of rules then untangling can get messy quick. Still doable but here is the part that will fail and will hurt, no doubt you have noticed by now.
Here it comes: you just lost ALL benefits of that entanglement, the common market. All nice things you kinda relied on over the years that made trade and travel easy? You just threw it away and you have to deal with it. Did the conservatives lie to you about keeping those benefits? Your problem, not Europe's. Deal with you own mess you have created and you were warned for what would happen if you did.
So can brexit be done? Yes. Can it be done as sold to you? No.
Who is to blame? Your conservative lying party and all its members who played you like the fools you are and you can blame yourselves for not listening to all the information that was shared with you about the downsides of brexit.
Shame on yourselves.

The worrying aspect to this is if they can't see what the problem is they can't put the right measures in place to fix it. Time for a new government.
You can't fix what is irreparable
Agree.🤗👍
They know what the issue is but to admit it is to admit they misled and lied to the British public and shouldn’t be in Government. Keeping the fig leaf of Brexit being great alive keeps the faithful onside otherwise they would have nothing
No They are refusing to look so don't know there is a problem that they need to fix ! Lessons will be learnt etc. etc.
Time to end the so-called "United" kingdom.
Project Fear, becomes Project Reality.
It was always project reality, it’s just every Brexiteer and pro leave politician was either in denial or flat out lying!
Project Fear was always Project Reality.
You know that it's your fault, right? You didn't "believe" enough! That's why you didn't get a unicorn!
Project Fear is now Project Here
We've ran out of bacon, have no medicine and we're on war time rations! Thanks Brexit!
But surly ending the freedom of movement only applies to 'Jonny foreigner' ?!
James, you've summed this Govt up perfectly....thick as mince
It's still going to get even worse I reckon, much worse.... My prediction and it was part of my argument against Brexit to anyone I knew, was that Scotland and N Ireland will leave the Union, and depending on how it goes maybe Wales too. The latest NI elections show that it is just a matter of time before a reunification referendum is called for in NI. The DUP are losing the argument and especially so when they have been sold out by Johnson and his sycophants.
At least I can go back to Wales (born and bred) if they do rejoin the EU.
I can see Cornwall leaving as well.
@@AlexAlexon3897 Did think about that as my other half's relations come from there and I know the Cornish would love their Independence.
not a cat in Hell's chance N.Ireland will vote to leave the UK.. bring on the border poll asap..and not a cat in Hell's chance the South will vote to take on the liability of the 6 counties either
Since 2010 we’ve had successive Governments with absolutely no idea how to run a country. All the expense spend on them for their education and they know nothing.
Hmmm.
Ironically were better off having someone who never went to collage or uni running the country.
I think it goes back way before 2010.

@@garybrooks5296 indeed. Over a decade of Labour Leftist infiltration and destruction of national foundations followed with over decade of inept cowardly conservatives.
They have learnt to speak with a 'posh accent' and the ability to waffle and lie in said posh accent, which allows them to bamboozle the plebs into thinking they know what they are doing, all while syphoning off the countries assets. That is your Tory public school boy.
I match your anger and can magnify it ten thousandfold!!!!
If voting against your own interests was an Olympic sport we’d be gold medal winners.
😂👍
Brexiters - not only did you choose to forfeit the right to complain about what any country chooses to do with their borders, you _demanded_ it. Do you understand?
Brexiteers don't watch James O'Brian.
If you want to explain them something painfully obvious or ask - go to GB News channel (or even better -JeffTaylor channel) and write your comment there.
But it's a cult mentality so do not expect any kind of sensible intelligent respond.
They don't understand because they're thick.
French ain't so keen to control their borders when it comes to immigrants leaving on dinghies..now why would that be?
This misunderstanding is all yours.
I am not telling anyone what to do with their borders.
However, countries that want my business need to be diplomatic and welcoming, and that includes fast and efficient transit through passport control and customs, or I shall go elsewhere.
The French appear to be having problems in this respect, which is why I'll be holidaying in Florida again this year.

_The French appear to be having problems in this respect_
Only if you assume that not getting tourism from Brexiters is a problem. Sounds like a win to me. But no, I'm sure they'll be devastated and begging you to come back within a few years; it is, after all, only British people who like going to France on holiday. It's going to be like a ghost town over there.
Great show this morning The JRM bit was brilliant and funny. It's now easier and quicker to get from Calais to Dover in a dinghy. Many the uk government could ask the people smugglers if they could help them with the Dover to Calais backlog.😁
The newly opened Peljesac Bridge in Croatia,shows the huge difference in thinking between Britain and the EU. One builds connections,useful to the people…..the other,brings in the chaos of Dover and isolation.
A nightmare many are still denying the reality of
Love to hear your thoughts on Starmers recent proclamation that he intends to "make Brexit work", without mentioning exactly HOW he intends to achieve the impossible?
For a start he has been doing some diplomatic schmoozing, so I guess not being belligerent will be a start, he is also suggesting vet agreements which will ease the paperwork requirements. In all I think he'll be heading for more alignment, and as people see and like the results, then a customs union, head towards single market and ultimately rejoin.
But he needs to not threaten brexit, or we'll end up in the polarised mess that got us into this mess in the first place.
@@verystripeyzebra Great response. I wouldn’t usually vote Labour (or Tory) but shifting the current govt is so essential that I’m going tactical next time.
Starmer is basically another Tory like Blair was.
I love James O'Brien because he spoke up for Megan and Harry and I will never forget it
Should be interesting...
A gallery of grotesques and outlandish characters causing mayhem and laugh out loud slap-stick chaos in quintessentially British fashion. "Carry on Brexit" is fast becoming a classic in the series.
"Over the top lads! It's Brexit time."
Wrong - not outlandish characters. It all fits in the antique English tradition of “Splendid Isolation” and “Glorious Defeat”. There you have it. Again and again.
@@filipsmit5497 JRM is straight out of the 19th century so nothing abnormal there but Johnson is a bit outlandish for that. Though, I guess your kings were famous for having fools at one point...
I even remember the name of one of them: Will Summers/Sommers (sp). That was Henry VIII. I wonder if he was as much of a clown as Bojo? Probably much smarter than Boris tbh.
France offered to increase the booths and staff - the UK government rejected it
The UK is being severely damaged by the real versions of Monty Python's 'Upper Class Twits'....how did this come about?
"We don't be checking lorries at Dover in the future"
He told the truth.
The British won't be checking lorries but the French will.
Outsider looking in: is he serious??!! I can’t believe he just didn’t think about the rest of the world.
Even if we didn’t the French would still need to check passports so people would be stuck on the ferries in port.
His words were "there will be no need for checks" by either country
@@caterhampattesting the poor thing, he clearly confused brexit with EU membership 🤦
Don't they want to protect their borders? That was their argument regarding brexit...
I went across this border so many times to Dunkirk. The French never held me up pre Brexit. The delays were at the uk border in Dunkirk where the nicest UK staff went through all the rigmarole. Now we have it both sides. There are you tube videos of 1950’s lorries going through all these hoops pre EU . Could not someone have shown these plonkers those? If you are a politician I suppose you can only blame someone else? Failing Grayling and the whole mob inc version 3.0 Truss .
Welcome back, I've missed your sarcasm immensely!
"to end the free movement of people once and for all". Yep they certainly did that.
