Our side is waving incoming loads through with barely a glance (an estimate yesterday was that HMRC loses £800 million in uncollected VAT and duties as a result). We *should* be scrutinising everything meticulously as well. Instead we're doing nothing. Makes France look stricter.
It's like two classrooms, in one of which normal school-level discipline is being maintained, while in the other total anarchy is allowed to reign. The normal classroom will feel stricter than it really is as a result of the contrast with the apocalyptic free-for-all next door.
It's amazing the UK accomplishes anything in construction, manufacturing, science or medicine.
If we practiced those disciplines like we're managing our borders, every building would collapse, ship sink, engine explode, and operation kill the patient.
World-beating ineptitude.
