I saw that on the news at lunch time. They, the people involved, are trying to negotiate to get it sorted.

I don't like to be negative but I think it will, some people are selfish and greedy, I think something should be put in place now to ration items so the shelves don't go empty.

Re: Lorry queues

They are planning to sleep in their cabins tonight and hopefully there will be an unblockage tomorrow. At the same time Macron is sick with Covid (apparently on his birthday). You couldn't make this up.

Re: Lorry queues

We really need to kick the French into touch. They have been a thorn in our arse for so long now. Of course there is the new Covid strain and I can understand why they don't want it over there but it is already in Europe; it's more about punishing us for leaving imo.
