    There are a number of reasons, including a huge backlog of people wanting to holiday abrad after being prevented by Covid.

    So half the French not turning up to work is not helpful.

    If you Google:

    Do uk border force live in france in calais

    You'll see they do both. Some are bussed from England and some reside 4 nights a week in a hotel in Calais.

    is this a good idea
    surely if it was it would have been done before
    wonder if it would work elsewhere
    could start with buses

    BREAKING: Portland restaurant comes up with innovative new idea to promote racial equity:
    Creating separate sections for black and white diners.
    "We want to provide a safe space for our diners of color to ease the trauma of living in this racist society," the owner said.

    And no doubt the Supreme Court will uphold it now that it has been politically engineered to do what the far right wants in America

    Separating people on racial grounds? Hardly novel. Although the pretext is certainly not one I've heard used before. Used to happen in America all the time and of course South Africa invented their own word for it - apartheid. Do you think that if it is challenged that the Supreme Court will overturn it? Would they have done so before Trump's three picks? Don't recall Oregon being a particularly liberal state politically but happy to be corrected if I'm wrong about that.

    We could seperate people by race, skin colour, language, sexual orientation, football club supported ( I don't want to sit near Chelscum), religion, intellect, facial imperfections...

    Then we could each get our own table in restaurants, own personal screening at theatre, film, or gig. Own personal, bus train or plane.

    Sounds a perfect plan for me...bring it on
