Dover let down by the French. Again.

The UK's first travel restrictions were introduced on March 23rd, with recommendations to restrict travel about a week earlier. Only a small part of Q1 2020 was subject to any restrictions at all.

The first UK travel restrictions were. The thing about travelling is you need to go from somewhere to a different place. In the UN link 90% of other countries were restricting travel at the time, some were randomly deporting people.

You may also chose not to travel to avoid Zombie Apocalypses or similar on your own initiative. If you remember 2020 Q1 there was a lot of fear about.

I love the way you are desperate to blame Brexit for 3 months 1 of which we were still in the transition agreement. You think Brexit decimated tourism but had little effect on Freight.

Wow, you're still reading the whole thing the wrong way round.

2 years ago the port had far higher volumes of traffic than today.

What has changed between January 2020 and January 2022.

COVID

There you go in big letters

Do please explain how Brexit managed such decimation amongst tourism? Which law change stopped everyone going abroad for holiday? Or coming here?

From the ONS's mouth

• Overseas residents made 6.2 million visits to the UK in 2021; this was 44% less than in 2020 as travel continued to be reduced because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
• Overseas residents spent £5.8 billion on their visits to the UK in 2021; this was 7% less than in 2020.
• UK residents made 19.1 million visits abroad in 2021, which was 20% less than the previous year and was because of the continued travel restrictions.
• UK residents spent £15.5 billion on visits abroad in 2021; this was an 12% increase on 2020.

How if trade with the EU is higher than ever before has Brexit changed it so negatively?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/...y-trade-value/

Exports are also higher than 2015. Odd really I thought we were going to be living caves by now!


I have an image of you in the corner of a padded room repeating over and over again "I have a small willy because of Brexit"

[WTFH]

I said comparing 2020 to 2022.

You really are that stuck that you don't even want read.

I say 2020/22 you claim I'm saying 2020/21

What COVID restrictions were in place in January 2022?
Of all the links in your quote, how many have figures for Q1 2022?
How many of your links are about 2021?

no I gave you 2021 and 2020 by inference and the statista go back to 1997. Try reading the links.

if you are having trouble with that I suggest you put down the sharp objects!

Have you got any figures or reputable analysis that supports your rather weird view?

The figures in my table a few rants of yours ago, those were from the Port of Dover - the link you provided

I looked at Q1 2020 and Q1 2022.

But you're obsessed with 2021 and Covid.
Try reading the information.

In large font so Vetran can understand

COVID did not make the UK insist that school kids from the EU must have passports instead of ID cards thus virtually killing off school trips from the EU

ah so 3 million foreign exchange trips didn't happen that explains the figures.

You know the schools were closed on both sides almost from the off because of COVID? In the UK it was initially key workers only, just like nurseries & child minders.

I remember travelling to France repeatedly at the ages of 12-15 that was a few decades ago I needed a passport, it wasn't that much of an issue.

3 million happened when? So far this year, or are you still obsessed with 2021, because you don't like reality?

Can you tell me when the last time we had 3 million foreign exchange students coming to the UK?

that was the drop in tourism in the official figures.

I was taking the mick out of Paddy him thinking that such legislation would affect more than a few tens of thousand.

You do sound like some old man stuck on defending the same point you know you have already have lost on.

You claim it is all down to Brexit without any proof.

I, the UN and ONS claim it was Covid.

I think you need to provide some proof for your deranged nattering, or admit defeat.
