It may? It absolutely will because no one in Europe is gonna go out on a limb to trust UK accreditation services administered under a Tory party of "austerity but also incompetence to an absurdist degree."

This is all true of course, but I think it's partly down to local nationalism driven insanity naturally has very little import among people of other nations. Even other people's conservatives.

Pure insanity

Isn't the problem delays due to customs on either side, and not the actual crossing itself? How will more ships help with that? Even if the problem is that the trucks are stuck on ships because there is no room for them to offload due to delays in customs, extra ships just means you have a floating parking lot.
