No.5 in your list should never have happened. That's disgraceful behaviour if true.

Kent coast from Whitsable to Herne Bay was heaving with them.

So people who were going shopping in last few before Christmas, upon being told of the tighter restrictions, were supposed to do what exactly?

And those who were planning to go to restaurants and now need to shop? (Not forgetting restaurants who have ordered food and have to pay for it and now cannot use it).

Not all of us have a HWMBO to come round and fill their freezer you know....

It will stay as secret as your Band Camp indiscretions.

New variant in the UK just after immunisations start in the UK : co-incidence or not?

The new variant was discovered in September, so nothing to do with immunisations starting

I thought Kent was in tier 4 so the shops should have been shut on Sunday?

Ah yes I did forget about the unfortunates who don't have a butler on the payroll.

48 hours gives time for analysis and planning.

They should be more agile.

But yes, according to Eurotunnel, they need to put rapid testing in place before outbound traffic can resume. Hopefully the rapid tests pick up the new variant or give false negatives rather than false positives so critical carrots for crimbo can get across to EU land.

This palaver is just a taster for future UK/EU via France crossings, like Spain with the occasional Gibraltar border shenanigans, they love to mess around at the expense of the people stuck in their little games.

Not a coincidence at all. The virus adapted after being supplied with details of the vaccine by the Russians who hacked into Pfizer's database.
