Reply to: Germans to the rescue

It's getting onto the motorways that is the problem. I tried to take a shortcut across a field while trying to get back on the M20. I turned around and took the A2 as I simply could not get near it down the A20 from Dover. On a GS.

In any case there was a LOT of tension in the air & I didn't want to hang around on a motorcycle.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says it will take "several days" to clear the backlog of lorries on the UK side of the French border, with "gridlock" reported in Dover.

As always CUK is the premier new source.

It's all stollen and rotkohl for Aldi?

It would explain why the airport supply chain staff were nicked for handling stollen goods.

Should have taken some ham sandwiches to sell for a tenner each while you were at it

aTW in "MarillionFan" mode!

The Facebook Markets are full of people looking to rent Burger Vans.

We are considering going down to help tomorrow - stuffing a bunch of food in the back of 4x4. The Salvation Army are there, many Sikh & Muslim groups helping out as much as they can.

Saw a bunch of drivers drinking 4 up in their cabs. Can't blame them for drinking, but the lack of social distancing is a concern.

On a plus side driving on some motorways now should be a delight - not a lorry in sight...

Just got back from riding down to Dover to get out of the house before wintering the GS.

It is a tulip show, Ignore the neatly lined lorries at Manston & those on the M20.

We have HGVs parked up in Canterbury and many rural roads. Lorries cluttering the M2, Dover is a parking lot. The A2 hill down to the port is closed off. HGVs are everywhere, main roads side streets - gridlock.

I do not see this improving on the 1st of January.

Oh look. We've found another of these. I reckon it's a conspiracy.

That is the beauty of it, even educated people dismiss it.

How otherwise do you get a nation to vote for brexit without bringing a single fact to the battle?

Use subliminal triggers and exploit the insecurities in people.

Germany got great experience with air bridges - this time it’s much easier since is nobody shooting at the airplanes

Might have to replay Panzer General ][

I think your are seriously understanding their ability to blank out anything that does not resemble their reality of the world.
They probably only watch the voice of the establisment - BBC news which encourages the same mental dullness and gullibility.

Gammon brains must be exploding after all the news this week. EU countries have control over their own borders, Unicef sending food aid to the poorest children in England and Germany starting food deliveries by air as well
