  • Officials have admitted that up to 200 lorries a day are being turned back at UK crossings into the European Union because they do not have the right paperwork, but they insist the vast majority are getting through. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    However, traffic through the UK's second-largest port, Holyhead, has slumped since the start of this year - in part as more lorry drivers are choosing to travel directly between Ireland and mainland Europe, bypassing the UK.

      @@alexleanh The Republic of Ireland is in the EU. Holyhead ferries go to and from Dublin and lorries use Britain as a land-bridge to get to France or wherever. A lorry taking the ferry from Dublin to Cherbourg would not face those obstacles. At about 18hr, the crossing time is perhaps even faster than via Britain - and certainly less hassle. It may free up the roads, but hits ferry operators and communities who work or serve logistics very hard. Cheers!

    Anyway, Holyhead is done for. Under the current Brexit arrangements, there is no argument to be made for using Holyhead over France-Ireland direct, or Liverpool or Stranraer direct to Larne or Belfast in the case of NI end use products. Sailings from Rosslare to France and Spain and back, have gone from 6 per week to 40 per week. Yes it takes longer at sea, but if you're going to be stuck at multiple border points on the island of GB with the added paperwork and administrative cost, you're still better off to land at Cherbourg, Dunkerque or Santander direct.

    Don’t blame the Welsh. The number of workers in the Holyhead Port falls into insignificance compared with those who lost their jobs in the welsh steel industry whilst the UK was in the EU. Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union meant the British Government was unable to invest in its steel industry and hence its demise during periods of cheap steel imports. Belgium investment firms were fined 211 million Euros by the EU for breaking this very same treaty in support of their steel industry. Whilst Tara Steel of India may have bought the welsh steel industry there are not allowed to invest in it to make it commercially viable under EU rules. Don’t blame the Welsh.

      @@jgt_ The research data is out there and remains open for anyone to read. I've read a lot of it and basically it indicates that Brexit was primarily a vote against immigration. Broadly speaking, the Brexit vote cuts across class groupings, it being based on age and education levels.
      As unemployment during the referendum was a record low, even if everyone who was unemployed had voted to leave, it would be insignificant. The demographic wooed by Johnson in the last election was characterised as 'white van men from Rugby towns.' These people claim to be working class but reside in well to do suburban areas and often vote Tory. They often earn more than teachers and other professionals. Common denometers are that they read the Sun or Mail and are xenophobic, living in mostly white areas. They didn't like Polish plumbers, not because the plumbers were taking their jobs but because these white van men prefer it when they can overcharge due to demand. Some have side earnings as well which they vigorously defend and many are landlords. Voice of the working class indeed.
