Thanks to #brexshit and the #brexshitters who managed to convince a gullible majority of the benefits of #takingbackcontrol , the queue at #ukborderforce in Coquelles Eurotunnel took more than an hour to clear this afternoon, with the UK side only having 2 booths open, whereas the French exit border police had 6 booths open. As explained to me by a #Eurotunnel agent, if someone hasn't actually filled out the newly required ETA correctly to enter the UK for non-UK passport holders, #ukborderforce shut the queue in question with everyone else in it and accompany said person to a building located away from the booths to do the necessary. In the meantime, everything backs up.

@HamonWry Or they could have learned from the #brexshitters who some years earlier were saying "this isn't the #brexshit I voted for." It was, of course.

@Chip_Unicorn Large numbers of British people acquired Irish passports as a result of #brexshit.

"In past decade"? - this is as close as the BBC can get to saying "yet another #brexshit benefit". (Though to be fair they do actually mention Covid this time.) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20q07w3gl9o

UK healthy life expectancy falls by two years in past decade

Poor housing, obesity and the effects of deprivation have been suggested as underlying cause.

@alberto A bit of a change from when their Grauniad stablemate supported #brexshit.

@selfe.bsky.social Another #brexshit benefit - more people's lives fucked up, if only on a small way.

I note that, as usual, that *none* of the vox pops in the BBC article say "it's not my fault, I voted remain" so, as usual, they only have themselves to blame.

@kentishfran It doesn't need to be remotely credible, that's not the point.

Just as his claims for the economic benefits of #brexshit weren't intended to be remotely credible.

Nobody is expected to believe this bollocks.

What he's really saying, as he did last time, is "vote for me and we'll get to fuck up some other people's lives". And there's no reason to suppose that the gammons who get off on fucking up other people's lives won't do so again in order to fuck up more lives.

@ablueview "I voted for bad things to happen to *other* people"

Should have learned from #brexshit, shouldn't he. At least some of the more honest of Putin's 17.4m #brexshitters have now said:

"OK, so I didn't realise I was going to fuck up my own life as well, but it's a price well worth paying for getting to fuck up other people's lives."

Those who do not learn from history ...
