I've just been watch the news at Dover with all the lorry drivers who are stuck there.

Jesus we certainly haven't got a clue as the majority of them speak little or no english. They have been stuck there since Saturday with no food or drink.

Dover has one public toilet...which is shut. No portaloos have arrived.

Surely we should have interpreters there and proper facilities for them as this shitshow is of not fault of any of these poor buggers.

World beating eh

The German ambassador has tried to get through to speak to them but was unable to. It really is awful for them. Its not just lorry drivers, there are mini buses with elderly people and children, transit vans and coaches. It must be a nightmare for everyone in that queue

They’ve just had a junior transport minister on the Radio 4 news. Never answered a single question about why there are no facilities of the drivers and refused to acknowledge most (including families stuck in cars) would not be stranded for Christmas; even though he stated the timescales for clearing normal much smaller stoppages were around 3 days.

Add to that the fact that the vaccination program is falling way behind plan due to logistics and IT issues.

The restrictions are one way, people are allowed into Britain, but not out.

We have only had 4 years to plan for this... shit show is a great description for this especially if your walking along the side of 1000 plus lorries.

Going to watch this carefully as it will have big implications for all if they can’t sort this process out in days, weeks and coming months. Pity all those second home in France owners won’t be quite so easy now will it...Non!

The issue is COVID related not Brexit, though I imagine that will create it's own problems.

No. I don't think that we did.

It ain't.

Or maybe it's too difficult for simpleton politicians to enable policies which differentiate between essential travel for trade/commerce and somebody going on holiday?

Here's a little hint for them: a person behind the wheel of a big fuck off attic lorry is a massive indication of intent

Obviously countries close their borders as part of their preventative strategies. Understandable.

But

Lorries from the EU and UK do not cross the Israeli border, UK and EU lorries ARE required to navigate across the English Channel.

I'm quite sure that cargo flights are still able to land/take off.

Yes they’ve tracked this back to a result in October from a test taken in September, patient number one let’s say. However to understand the effects of how it acts it takes time for it to be found and analysed in other results, so not fair to say they’ve known this new variant was a cause for concern months ago

It was a block against travellers from the UK, not specifically lorry drivers, due to our announcement and emergency Tier 4 implementations because of it. They have a duty of care to their citizens. The UK states have imposed travel restrictions internally too.

It's a political thing not a virus thing.

But it's not a huge leap of common sense or a big challenge to differentiate between essential commerce travel and non essential travel.

As I've said before a big lorry and delivery docket is a huge giveaway.

Will you relentless Remoaners give it a rest, if you could take your head out of your master Macron’s backside for a moment you can thank HIM for this. Brexit is happening, suck it up and move on for the sake of the country, although judging by the venom most of you keep directing at Britain despite living here, I guess you are praying the country fails. Merry Christmas

The issue is COVID related not Brexit, though I imagine that will create it's own problems.

Shhhhh, don't tell them that. They're convinced it's Brexit. They don't know about the virus

It has been in Europe for months follow my earlier link and use google to translate it

Follow what earlier link.

I'm talking about the virus not Brexit

It was a political closure, the virus was simply a pawn in the game"

Ah so affect the entire world with a virus to get a political closure to Brexit?

So, under your premise, it'll clear up now we've got a deal?

"It's fucking disgusting state of affairs and a poor reflection on Macron acting like a petulant teenager.

This ain't about covid it's willy waving over fishing rights.

I thought,silly me,it was about France, and about another 20 countries, protecting their people.

It ain't.

Or maybe it's too difficult for simpleton politicians to enable policies which differentiate between essential travel for trade/commerce and somebody going on holiday?

Here's a little hint for them: a person behind the wheel of a big fuck off attic lorry is a massive indication of intent

Why did isreal close their borders to us?

Obviously countries close their borders as part of their preventative strategies. Understandable.

But

Lorries from the EU and UK do not cross the Israeli border, UK and EU lorries ARE required to navigate across the English Channel.

I'm quite sure that cargo flights are still able to land/take off.

Half the world closed their borders to us..it was nothing to do with Brexit.

Though maybe its finally seen those lunatics how disastrous a no deal would be.

The 52% of the population?

Wrong..

52% of those who bothered to vote, not disputing the result bit it's simply wrong to try and suggest what you did.."

That still beats the 48% of those others that bothered to vote

I think you need to split what I said to what other people said.

No argument. Brexit happened

Nobody said that. I said the politicians are not beyond using the current pandemic to make a point by using the virus as a pawn in the name of politics. I spend most of my time in Europe listening to their side as well.

Jesus we certainly haven't got a clue as the majority of them speak little or no english. They have been stuck there since Saturday with no food or drink.

Dover has one public toilet...which is shut. No portaloos have arrived.

Surely we should have interpreters there and proper facilities for them as this shitshow is of not fault of any of these poor buggers.
