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.

So that is an excuse to carry it on. regardless of which government did what it is of no matter if a terrorist gets in and kills people under any government as it will be the responsibility of the party in power at the time if that happens because they failed to implement the laws of the land.
I believe stopping terrorists at the border is a damn sight more important than a urinating competition by rival party supporters, and the sooner we realise that fact the better.
