Default immigration

going through dover on average twice a month i find in most cases the french
immigration are not interested in checking english passports and english are
often not in the booth, yet returning through calais the french are often
not in their booth and if they are they normally wave english passports
through but the english officials swipe the passports and check that you
match the photo, so from that i assume that they do not mind you leaving UK
but are fussy who returns, what does the scanner tell them does anyone know
(not assume or guess) i came back on a pm crossing last november and noticed
in the back of a mondeo there was a young lady appearing from the floor from
beneath a coat or two and some luggage whilst the car was waiting in the
loading lane

I have found a similar situation, but how about some punctuation?

There's no exit control in the UK - you'll not get your passport
checked at the airport other than by the airline to make sure you're
not going to have to be flown home....
