With 4 border guards on duty I can see how delays would build at peak times but 7 hours doesn’t seem right.
Lets say 300 an hour is a maximum figure, with an average time of 4 guards available they could only process 240 people if it only took a minute per person. Chances are it takes 2-4 minutes so they will only get through 60-120 people an hour.
Border Farce operating at it best.
