Have we lost control of who comes into Dover? If you read any of the papers or watched the news at the weekend, you will know there are fresh allegations about failings at our borders. This time it is sloppy passport checks, and Kent is at the heart of the story.

There are calls for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Secretary Theresa May to quit, and there are fears that terrorists or criminals could have slipped into the country via Dover. Tell me about your experience of passport control? Stopped or waved through? Are you worried about our borders?

Are you happy to pay more for a drink? Is alcohol too cheap? The number of people admitted to hospital for drink-related illnesses in Kent has soared.

Is it time we thought of drink as a luxury, is that fair on people who do not have a lot of money, who don not abuse alcohol?

Do you value cheap alcohol, is it an important part of your life or do you think it is extremely dangerous? Has your family been damaged by booze?
