Border Force officers have been ordered to “deprioritise” customs work at airports such as searching for guns and drugs in order to stop passport queues frustrating travellers.
Leaked emails show that staff at Manchester airport were told this month that customs work should be carried out only if “there is no likelihood of an excessive queue time”. It meant there would be no spot-checks for illegal firearms, offensive weapons or drugs by customs officers, sources said.

Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. School kids drop a Koran, and the police are on it like a rash and yes a hate crime has been committed. On the other hand, bringing bringing a gun or couple of sticks of PE4 into the country, meh, the queues getting long, let em in.
