Make the Channel Tunnel one-way on alternate days for fairness

The Channel Tunnel currently operates in both directions simultaneously, which seems unnecessarily European. A more sensible, more British approach would be to have it go one way on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the other way on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Sundays its closed for maintenance and reflection.

This would reduce confusion, improve sovereignty, and ensure that at any given time we know exactly which direction France is. The French have not been consulted on this proposal and we see no reason to start now.

Economists claim this would reduce cross-channel capacity by roughly 50%. We would argue that this is a feature, not a bug. A bit of scarcity builds character and ensures that only people with a genuine reason to visit France actually go. Day-trippers buying cheap wine in Calais are not, in our view, essential traffic.
