I think the OP legitimate since it’s on a specific point and asking for clarification. Remainers aren’t likely to have the answers, so fair to address it to Leavers. I’d like to hear their answers too. Those who don’t want to engage with it need not do so.
In fact I think it better on various topics to have separate specific discussions than long general ones rambling on for pages.

Jura I hope you find your answer but I have to ask -

How many threads will you ask this question on ?

As this is a thread started because the question is not being responded to on another thread perhaps posters simply do not wish to engage in the question.

Perhaps posters simply are excluded from replying because your question is addressed to only one group of people to answer 'Brexiteers' .

Perhaps some posters have not answered this question on another thread because they feel the EU Referendum Result is so toxic a subject they no longer engage with other posters who will persistently challenge other posters opinions/view if it does not suit their opinion/view.

Perhaps some most posters just might perceive your OP asking for Brexiteer GN'ers to respond as throwing down the gauntlet so to speak , as with the same question on the other thread.

Grayling stated clearly on Question Time that the UK has no intention to have any border checks in Dover or Tunnel as it would not be physically possible to do so and would create queues.

No checks for people, cattle, beasts, puppy farmed dog, drugs, illegal and dangerous substances - oh and all the illegal immigrants waiting to cross in Calais.

Could any of our Brexiter friends here on GN please explain, to a simple soul like me- how it makes sense and allows us 'to take back control'. Please- as I just don't get it.
