Yes it is.
There is no evidence of significant additional checks by PAF under the SBC other than passport stamping which adds little to transaction times (and will be obviated with the introduction of EES and ETIAS).
EU MS have always been able to swipe British passports & U.K. visitors low risk to Schengen countries.
Main issue is enough PAF resources in Dover. Not helped when PAF insist on crossing by Tunnel and refuse to stay overnight in Dover between shifts.
Would be interesting to know how many UKPH the Froggies have actually repelled (other than for Covid reasons) having messed up hundreds of thousands of holidays.
Increase votre word-power. BOF (French) a spoken interjection that translates more as a feeling of disinterest or mild unhappiness than an actual word.
e.g.
DHB: 'Je voir que vous avez seulement un homme de passport sur le control aujourd hui. Pourquoi?'
Le PAF : 'Bof.' (Shrugs les épaules)
