Lol for a cheese competition.

Border checks are often slow. The EU didn't sabotage. An individual agent likely made an error as an exception means it was not normal procedure.

When you impose extra beurocracy on yourself, sometimes you get outcomes like this. It's why some companies from the EU are reducing trade with the UK and why some UK companies are reducing trade with the EU.
