Sky's Adam Parsons reports on how hauliers fear a single document making their lives a misery if there is a no-deal Brexit.

Paul Wells, the company's director, told Sky News that the vast increase in the number of lorries needing transit documents"is going to be the killer".

"There are facilities to do this, but not many people have got these facilities. We are constrained by the number of staff that we have, the facilities we have, the experience. There is a limit to how many vehicles we can deal with." In an effort to mitigate the problem, Sky News can reveal that the Government is planning to establish a temporary facility at Manston Airfield in Kent, to provide more capacity for drivers to authorise their declarations.The airfield has the potential to park hundreds of lorries at a time - but it is also a 45-minute drive from Dover, sometimes along single-track roads.

I also hear each mile of road will become a mile & a half with no deal Brexit. And Europe won't let the sun rise in Britain. F**k off

Last time I checked, a T1 document could just be discharged at the local Customs office.

No they don’t

A bit of snow does that , scaremongering again ,,just get us out ..17.4 million people are getting very agitated and are ready to mobilize.

Don't worry every day A12 is same last 20 years .please let we have a good sleep.

At least we leave!

Wasn’t the fella in charge of the port sayin other week that this is bollocks

Our politicians will ensure real brexit won’t happen, just wish they didn’t waste our time asking us to vote, so stop with the BS sky news

EU are Goald and people are Jaffa we die free

Zzzzzzzzzz.... Even your scaremongering is months old... 🤨

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Project Fear again

Yawn

More crap

Any connection between Sky “News” and CNN? Both push fake news day and night.

If all lorries in the country went on strike. It would put our country on its knees. But even more so the Government. We would be 'F***** Without Lorries'. This country has had 2.5 years to have a plan in place just incase of No Deal.

They face huge queues everyday at the Dartford crossing 🤷🏼‍♂️what’s the prob Sky

Think you can stop the project fear stories .... think it’s safe to say that it worked, considering no deal is now unlikely to happen.

Cannot understand why a global brand such as sky doesnt encourage brexit? 😆

That's not what Adam Bolton was told this morning by a ports authority man, he couldn't get him off the TV quick enough ... Your so irresponsible.

Sky News Project Fear

I hope the police look at this rubbish as it could be construed as causing unrest ProjectFear FakeNews Bollox

While it sounds plausible, it is one of the most ridiculous reasons to stay in the EU, or not Leave, depending on your view. Does anyone really think Lorries having to be in a queue is a genuine reason to not implement the Referendum vote

For goodness sake Sky STOP scaremongering. Get a life you useless so Called News channel.

Yawn.

So why is Calais not worried nor Rotterdam

What worse than sitting on the m25 every day ?

Sky news = Fake news

Hey FakeNews UK. Looks from these replies like you’re losing control of the narrative? I bet that’s scary? The people are AWAKE.

Cut and paste shit news

Ports authorities say not.

😂😂😂😂😂

We have been through this already.... these lies have already been squashed! Why are you running such hysterical nonsense yet again‼️‼️‼️🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Is this a new queue, or the same queue which didn't exist earlier

Lies lies and more lies

Caláis prepared well so Uk keep using them... fake news sky

What ? You mean all those foreign trucks will have to queue to get back to France to get their next load , cheap diesel and below average wages ? That type of queue ?

What a load of bollocks. And you know it

Yeah yeah we believe you

Fake news.

tm014d1009 Both ways ! 200billion of trade could be lost by acting the bollix with UK

In a few years we going to look back at these stories and laugh, like we do about the millennium bug stories and the doom and gloom stories about not joining the euro.

I’ll only believe it if Andrew Neil says it

That happens doesn't it?

Lorry drivers fear. Yet ports are saying they are all ready for a no-deal Brexit. Who to believe.

As a lorry driver. You are wrong. I face more queues on an inadequate m25 than there will be at the ports. There will be a deal as just reiterated by Merkel over northern Ireland. Where there is a will there is a way. Stop publishing FAKE AND UNFOUNDED STORIES AND LIES

Balanced information from Sky news in relation to Brexit. Never going to happen. Shit organisation.

Plenty of over time then... Even better for UK workers

No they don’t- ports.

Back to project fear are we! Mind you never really left it did you! You promote it daily without a shred of evidence except supposition and imagination, bit like CNN in the Mueller probe! Slating Trump for years and proved wrong! fakenews

So many seem to know better than those in industry.

What bollox, shy do you keep falling for this shit?

Give it a rest sky. We don't believe you.

I thought this was disproved months ago?

Let’s get out and test it🤷🏻‍♂️

How will that happen when all ports say nothing will change.? The mayor of Calais has repeatedly said he's annoyed with the British scaremongering.. Never mind, it's another one of those factual reports, filled with the word could.. 😏🙄

Not again.... sod off.

Fake news

Project fear.....

True story. SKY is junkers favourite news channel when asked in an interview. Wonder why 🤔

Sky News has never heard the story of the boy who cried wolf, huh?

Stoooooooooooooooop telling LIES
