Lol, if only there was some way we could have some kind of agreement with close trading partners to not require customs checks.
Yea but that's not the reality of today, alas.
What is plain is that the EU customs and border officials failed to do their job properly. For a bloc that goes on and on about "the rule of law" they sure do know when to apply the rule of law.
Yes, because uk border checks have all been perfect. No delays, no wasted goods, no skipping checks.
This article isn't about UK border checks. Why are you bringing up whataboutism arguments?
Because you implied they were being selective in enforcement. So, comparison is applicable.
It's the article that my quote is from in the original reply. Not sure you've read it 🤔? Those are the facts from the linked story.
Where have you plucked this "selective enforcement" nonsense from?
