This confuses me, I really didn’t know Morgan was against brexit.

He was one of the people who supported Remain, but after the referendum jumped to "HONOUR DEMOCRACY!!!".

Interesting he's now jumping the other way, especially as he's employed by Murdoch at TalkTV.

How about we don’t put hugely important issues to public votes when that public’s been poisoned by a four decade long campaign of disinformation and dishonest representation.

How about we find people who know what the strawberry float they’re talking about and do what they suggest.

Sorry but we've had enough of experts.

Morgan is really a centre left Blairite type, but he's happy to suck up to people with different views if it gets him exposure and money. Look at when he went to the States he started off really pro gun control and got the attacked by republicans but then decided to get right behind Trump because he saw the opportunity to make a bunch of money and get on TV more.

If you’re willing to prop up right wing nonsense or take part in getting right wingers frothing at the mouth for a payday it doesn’t really matter what your ‘real’ ideology is. If you’re contributing to their lunacy, you’re one of them and part of the problem.

He isn't centre left. But he is addicted to money and exposure.

Stop talking the country down luddites!

If only we knew who to blame for this.

It also doesn't help that Dover port is already a complete shitshow even before these new regulations are introduced.

In comparison, the port of Calais is modern, spacious, and well organised. But as is always the case with the UK, our govts have left the infrastructure to rot for decades without any meaningful investment then expects it to cope when things get busy.

Interested to know if they are doing that to EU passport holders. It would be funny if they aren't. The word Britons might be deliberate here, it doesn't include Northern Ireland.

Also that front page is pretty much mail reader bingo. They just missed Diana.

The asterisk at the top - don't worry DM, we worked it out

They've done it in America for years.

Yeah the US Media was slightly up in arms about this.

It's the same as an ESTA, costs half as much and lasts 50% longer (3 years).

No big deal.

They may well do, but he's the heir to the throne and it's up to him if he wears a kilt.

Something else that was filed under "Project Fear".

I've had to deal with this crap in my previous job. About 5 years ago it was a case of UKCA being brought in for UK certification, in addition to a CE mark. CE if it has a number under it (which is the certification house ID number) means it has to go through a paid certification process, and those houses have to be approved by the EU. One we were dealing with had to move out of the UK, and we had to resubmit the last 10 years of products as the number under it then changed, and the customs cert would be invalid. This is in addition to having to pay for UKCA certification.

strawberry floating shambles.

It's for non EU nationals.

Clever wording then.
