'Bad Friday' sees Brits brace for travel chaos as holidaymakers face more Dover delays and gridlocked motorways

The Easter getaway is set against a backdrop of French protests, coupled with ongoing disruption at Dover - which could cause stress for those hoping to go abroad over the long weekend.

The Port of Dover said that they would be conducting a "full review" of plans to improve their approach ahead of the Bank Holiday. There will also be a number of platforms out of action at London Victoria, while work will stop services running out of Charing Cross on Saturday and Sunday.Traffic has been backed up at the Port of Dover in recent days.It was thought some flights were due to be cancelled on due to air traffic control walk-outs, as part of a general strike, with other flight routes extended to deal with the protest's disruption.

An easyJet spokesperson said: "Due to national strike action in France impacting transport services including air traffic control on 6 April, airlines have been requested by the French authorities to make some cancellations to their flying programmes which means two return flights between Toulouse and Bristol as well as Gatwick and Bordeaux will no longer be able to operate.

The protests are part of the ongoing backlash against Emmanuel Macron's attempt to raise the pension age from 62 to 64.

Apparently if you show your blue passport, sing 3 renditions of God Save the King, flash a union jack tattoo and promise to swear at any small boats you see on your travels, you can use the hard shoulder

This is solely the fault of the French and is their petty way of punishing us for Brexit. However we will have the last laugh when the government finally delivers on its brexit promise to seal all our borders & halt the flow of rancid food from Europe into the UK.

Small price for Sovereignty.

If the Tories had funded a 100% increase in the number of booths and staff for passport checks they wouldn't have this problem... Instead, they sat on their hands and did nothing waiting for the crisis to unfold as per usual. The laziness of the Tories is bringing down Brexit 😂

Typical woke French punishing us by stamping our FREEDOM AGINCOURT PASSPORTS 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

We left the EU why are people still using Dover for a holiday exit
