Indeed, by now we know for certain that there will be gridlock at UK ports after Brexit. Yet as we speak, goods are flowing smoothly to and from non-EU countries through container ports like Felixstowe and Southampton, and airports like Heathrow (including perishables), with no obvious gridlock. Something does not compute.
