    Majority of lorries crossing channel to France are empty as Brexit hits trade

    Looks like a plan by the government to feign normality by having empty trucks driving around to hide the fact that trade has totally collapsed.

    Don't be surprised if you see plastic fake goods in the supermarkets.
    I'm alright Jack

    French lorry drivers are playing a long game - there will be lots of money to be made by getting illegal British immigrants back into EU very soon

      Exports are going down as expected, no one is waiting for jam and cookies in Europe as they have far superior jam and cookies themselves

              what about lorries coming in from Europe?

              do they still sell things to us or do they not want anything to do with us anymore?

              they need us more than we need them. we hold all the cards.

                Freight volumes moving between the United Kingdom and the European Union were down 38% in the third week of January compared with the same week a year ago, real-time truck movement data shows.
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  We have large import surplus so it’s a good thing. We can grow our own oranges
