'Taking back control' is a relative term. Just how much control do you think this country, in reality, has, and will have, when negotiating from its ever increasing position of weakness.

Operation Stack, as it is known, is a traffic management scheme which has been used for decades to control lorry traffic on the approach to Dover and the Channel tunnel.  We could do with less of the hysterics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Stack
