'This is what we signed up for.' As delays continue at the Port of Dover, travel journalist SimonCalder tells AndrewCastle63 this is a direct result of Brexit.
Freelance UK travel journalist Simon Calder explained the scene to: "Everything remains gummed up... it is taking three to four hours to process people once they get to the Port of Dover on a coach, that's after they've been held at the cruise terminal."
"Before Brexit, it was very very straightforward," he said holding up a passport, "the process was really swift because all they had to do was have a look at your passport and say, 'is this a valid document?'" "They've got to inspect your passport for the various 50 or 60 people on that coach. They then have to stamp the passport. This takes time."
