We were indeed...Were we in the single market and enjoying freedom of movement in 2015?
New passport checks could make the summer a misery for ferry passengers
Passport checks start on April 8 2015 and could lead to long queues at portswww.getreading.co.uk
What you fail to mention from that 'could' story is...
"Eurotunnel and ferry companies will be checking the passports of all those leaving the country to tighten national security"
"The new arrangement means ferry companies will have to put every passport through a scanner to provide an electronic record which is sent to the Home Office."
That was a UK decision, and was made by a sovereign country whilst in the EU...
'Could' turned out to be 'didn't really'
"There are delays of up to two hours on Dover to Calais ferry crossings.
It is the first weekend since schools broke up for the summer and is one of the busiest weekends of the year to travel"
Scanners are far quicker than a manual look at a passport, and checking of how much of your quota you have left
Only 2 hours?
