Okay time for a beach side beer ...just a quick note

UK has been part of a Single (expanding) internal borders Market for nearly *30* years.
& part of a Customs (expanding) Union for nearly *50* years.
To reverse that lack of capacity to reflect that lack of operational/customs/
infrastructure/space/"50,000" experienced staff dissipated away/IT support, demand was *always* going to be mammoth task at mammoth cost. eg Channel Tunnel was actually conceived of & built with the Single Market (inside a Customs Union) in mind...so it too didn't factor in space
needed for life outside it. France has been lucky: Calais port & Coquelles do have needed space for UK's self harming choice
EU nations (& Gib) haven't been hampered by a narrative of "opportunities"/trying to hide visible costs. & have duly prepped with loud necessary *warnings*

Nor by the unique trying to square a circle circumstances in Ireland (unless both remaining in EEA and *a* Customs Union)
Question everyone shld ask is why the *whole* establishment (oppositon & MSM) have not conveyed this sufficiently to the (*still* mostly) unawares UK public?

All of this mammoth cost "invested" (badly to date) to disadvantage *UK* businesses & suppliers (even *especially* so internally within the UK)
....and to make imports more costly, but yet reduced in volumes/choice and in their speed of delivery.
*Facts*
