The First Cut is the Deepest?

Dutch TV is apparently including coverage of truck drivers, coming from the UK, having their ham and cheese sandwiches confiscated by officials at Hook of Holland customs (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/11/dutch-officials-seize-ham-sandwiches-from-british-drivers).
