    Post 3116: the problem with politicians is either that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, or that they twist facts to suit their own agenda.

    Customs clearance at Dover has been computerised since 1986; no system had the functionality appropriate to ro-ro so we designed and built one ourselves. It now lives at Motis and Stop 24. However, there are 2 issues with it for a post-Brexit scenario:

    - the link to ferry freight manifests was removed when those laughable things were abolished on 1.1.1993 and, much more crucially

    - such systems are currently based on all goods, lorries in our case, stopping and using the system to be allowed to proceed. Of course the current business model around here relies on all goods/lorries NOT stopping unless they choose to. Good job too, since there is no land on which to accommodate all bar a tiny fraction.
