French MEP’s thoughts on Dover chaos do not need translating

"Le Brexit est une tragédie jouée par des bouffons."

A French MEP described Brexit as a “tragedy played by jesters” following days of chaos at the port of Dover.

Pierre Karleskind, a politician of La République En Marche!, bemoaned Liz Truss after she blamed the long delays on the French and told them to “fix” the issue in a front-page Telegraph story.

Queues were building again at the Port of Dover at the start of this week amid fears that the severe disruption seen in recent days could return to Kent throughout the summer.

Passengers were forced to wait for several hours on Friday as bumper-to-bumper traffic stretching for miles marred the journeys of tens of thousands of families at the start of the school summer holidays.

Lorries have also been severely impacted by the delays, with some being forced to wait up to 18 hours to make the crossing into France.

Karleskind’s tweet sums up the issue at the heart of the problem.

His words probably don’t need translating, but here’s what he had to say:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
