But then there's the logistics: Pre-Brexit, it made sense to place the French border in the UK and vice-versa. Post-Brexit, shouldn't that be reversed? In other words, no delay getting Dover and onto your booked ferry (or Eurostar) and the check are conducted at the French end. Then it's up to them to provide commensurate infrastructure and if they don't, potential travellers can find other destinations and blame the French.

I realise that it might get interesting returning to the UK, but I suspect that will go OK because an exit Stempel is no big deal and we can fast track UK residents at Dover or Eurostar.
Good point.
