Eamonn Holmes has been left fuming over the queues at Dover over the weekend, branding it a "depressing sight".The GB News host, 62, told how he "despaired" at the sight of thousands of families left unable to travel to France due to the queues at Dover, as he blamed the French for the chaos.The star told how he feels for people traveling to France, adding that a holiday is the "very least" we deserve after lockdown.Eamonn added that it's "alarming" there isn't an "end in sight" to the travel chaos at the Port, which he said was sparked by our exit from the European Union.The GB News presenter went on to blame the queues on the French behind the front line.Eamonn wrote: "It is crazy, a total joke and I cannot help thinking French officials are under instructions to make life as difficult as they can at the moment."But it is not French border control staff we should be blaming for this mess," he added.The star explained he believes it to be coming from higher up, as a result of the French's bitterness towards the UK over Brexit.He went on: "That’s why I believe those working on the frontline are most likely to be following orders from faceless politicians and officials on the other side of the Channel who won’t forgive the UK for exiting the EU."I suspect the whole go-slow policy leads back to the office of Mr Macron who remains bitter about Vote Leave," he added in his column for Express.co.uk.It comes as former foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt said France is unwilling to ease congestion at Dover because they are still “furious about Brexit”.He added that the country believes that the UK has “mucked up their long-term plan for a united Europe”.People were forced to wait for almost 24 hours over the weekend as they tried to.
