It has always been my view that all people should obtain a "Certificate of Competence to Leave the UK and Travel Abroad", before being allowed to set foot on any mode of transport, airport and/or port. It really should include Eurostar and the Channel Tunnel rail services as well.
Regretably these days such a document is becoming even more of a necessity, with some of the chavs the UK allows into the outside world.
As for the Daily Mail and it's sensational reporting of events that don't happen, well.....
Perhaps this publication should be removed from newspaper sales sections and placed with the rest of the comics.
