      So half a million fewer trucks than before Brexit. There might be a connection to the biggest drop in the standard of living in the last 50 years.
      I'm alright Jack

        He's also (deliberately?) confusing a report showing traffic flowing in both directions with foreign visitors coming to the UK through the port.

          I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek comment, considering the boat loads of people desperate to come here

              Obvious way to get round the channel queues. Pay the traffickers to take you over in small dinghies. Much quicker.

                And better for recycling, currently the dinghies only go one way, so send them back full of Brits.

                  I'm not deliberately confusing its the level of traffic both ways and it was massively down due to COIVID not brexit. Its the remoaners who are confused when their cheap bottom wipers leave them in their own mess or I don't spoon feed them.

                  Interestingly despite a massive fall in traffic the French don't seem to be able to keep up.
