Funny to think how all those Labour ex-home secretaries lined up during the week to give us the benefit of their experience whilst putting the boot into Teresa May ... When for the last FOUR YEARS, as a result of a Labour policy implemented on the quiet and never announced in Parliament, only the briefest of visual passport checks have been carried out on passengers entering the UK at a ferry terminal on a British-registered coach.

Apparently the French were moaning about queues in Calais caused by the checks being done properly ... You know, logging passport numbers, cross-referencing for known undesirables, inconvenient things like national security considerations.
