No, because of Covid and Starmer’s obsession with infiltration of cakeism into the heart of government.

If you don’t understand, go and eat a proper meal. It might restore an element of rationality to your troubled mind.

My advice is free and immediate, but you can take NHS advice at their leisure if you prefer.

It's an utter failure OB. That's why Brexiteers can't stop harping on about Brexit and blaming anything or anything else for its failure. Trying justify themself to themselves maybe? Move on , remoaners have !

The French took back control this weekend at Dover. Fair enough I guess its their border. Can't understand why everyone is so desperate to leave this green and pleasant land anyway, and go to the EU they hate so much (in their German BMWs/Audis !) Drink Brown Ale and go to Skeggy and enjoy Brexit

As I said, Brexit has yet to be implemented.

As for France, I think they had better be careful. If they keep putting problems in our way, we may just have to use a different port of entry to the continent.

Where would that be ? Port Stanley? Bit of a long way round....

Such a shame those German car manufacturers never came through.

Think you might find the EU act as one, part of the advantage. The border with France is an EU border, just like the one in Rotterdam.

The French are much more difficult, and Macron is a piece of work. A bit of competition would do no harm at all.

A few salient points you may not have taken into consideration.

Dover to Calais ferry crossing - 90 minutes
Harwich to Rotterdam ferry crossing - 390 minutes

Extra driving time from Rotterdam to Lille (kicking off point to travel to most points in France) - 150 minutes.

Your proposal would add on an extra 7.5 hours each way travelling to France…

Ah but we will have that bonfire of (unspecified) EU regulations to make up for it!

Aside from your opinion, how is it an "utter failure" ?
I'm pretty sure it was implemented on 31 January 2020.

The Conswervatives, party slogan could be You know we're pulling the wool over your eyes and we sidestep the truth but we don't care.

Thinking about it, the present lot may say it's a bit of a copyright issue as it's so close to the original in name and meening!!

I think Old Boy needs to read your post as he's still under the impression that Brexit has not been implemented.

For the record, Johnson cited it as one of his achievements alongside Covid vaccine roll out and supporting Ukraine.

We have left the EU but we have yet to exploit the benefits.
