Brexit: could Channel ports cope with 'no deal'?

It has been much remarked in the past week that mainstream media knowledge of logistics is limited, to say the least. But here is a piece by the BBC on cross-Channel Brexit woes that covers the problems realistically. It quotes (pro-Brexit) forwarder Andrew Baxter from Europa Worldwide explaining how quickly delays will mount; it challenges Jacob Rees-Mogg’s argument that if Southampton can do a customs check in six seconds, why can’t Dover? and points to government inconsistencies (admittedly, an easy feat at the moment). Worth a quick read.
