Don't be silly.These RMT members and extended families could have been the difference.

Those reasons are complete and utter bollocks !Here's the reasons given in that link.
1. Leave the EU to end attacks on rail workers
2. Leave the EU to end attacks on seafarers and the offshore workers
3. Leave the EU to end attacks on workers’ rights
4. Leave the EU to end Austerity
5. Leave the EU to stop the attack on our NHS
6. Leave the EU to support democracy
Can anyone honestly say that things have improved in any of those areas. Look at the current strikes primarily about workers rights, the situation at P&O, the state of the NHS and I haven't noticed any sign to the end of Austerity, just tax rises, poorer services and people with less money. As for the "support democracy" we've now got a government that does its best to bypass Parliament and the courts and is about to appoint a new PM based on a members only election which includes anyone in the world of any nationality that has paid £25 to join the Conservative Party. Great demonstration of democracy. If the above reasons had any validity Brexit would have saved us from all of that.
The RMT were mugs if they believed any of that shite in 2016 and its members were mugs if they followed that advice just like all the people who voted Leave based on empty promises made by Johnson and his supporters.
I don't see anything as deliberate - it's EU holidaymakers and lorry drivers affected too - but I have no idea why anyone would expect France or other EU countries to spend a lot of money to make things easy. Brexit was not their choice.Fair play to you mate, but in terms of the second part of this sentence, why wouldn’t they? I don’t understand why people get so worked up and/or are surprised by this. It seems an entirely natural reaction to our unilateral decision to leave their club. I don’t understand why anyone would expect any different. Divorces are messy affairs and tend to bring out the worst in the participants, even when both sides are largely blameless, especially when the finances are complicated.
Wasn't the Sunday Times always pro-Remain?True.
I do wonder which brick will be the first to fall out of the wall - the Times must be very confused, knowing that it's twaddle yet under the Murdoch thumb.

Not all bad :)
