Point missed. The Home Office can plan for and
mitigate any internal disruption which may arise. The point of a public sector strike is to cause maximum impact to the public in hopes of forcing politicians back to the negotiating table. This simply hasn’t happened.

Unless you have some evidence to suggest that people presenting at the border aren’t being assessed to the same standards, that’s a silly, straw-grasping comment.
