    It might have slipped your attention, but the lorry park isn't actually ready yet. It is due to open on 1st January.

    This has nothing to do with the Covid ban? What a pathetic troll you are.

    The current queues as of yesterday relate to the pre-emptive distribution of goods prior to the end of the transition period of 31.12.20 by firms looking to stockpile etc before the calamity of WTO.

    The lorry parks are not ready and the organisation of them vis-a-vis electronic exchange of regulation compliance is self-declaratory and therefore worthless.

    Brexit by definition is synonymous with bovine stupidity and therefore anything stemming from it is utter bollocks.

    Still...the dumb rump of the UK has asked for it, by god it's going to get it, and may god help them.

    The lorry parks are ready but the reason for delay is due to customs control. From BBC news 5 days ago.

    They won't be ready until February, according to the government . . . it is irrelevant and childish to say they are when they are not functional

    That's a bit like saying the railway system is fine and dandy except there are no drivers or signalling equipment.

    £ falling nicely.

    The Covid embargo is a delightful amuse bouche to the main course of a total Gove/Bozo BoJo fuck up.

    You don't get thicker than a Brexshit Kipper.

    The last resort contingency plan, Operation Stack, is at phase 2, which gives some indication of the severity of the situation.

    A large percentage of containers are still being ferried across, without the tractor units, but imagine what the disruption will be like if this ban were to be extended.

    Government are refusing to think about a Brexit extension while they concentrate on this dilemma.


    ...and the mutation was discovered in September so is likely to be already in Europe.

    It was discovered in Spain in July and accounts for 80% of new cases, hmm so how come Spain hasn't got new travel restrictions?

    oh maybe its because the UK is leaving the EU.

    Poor fat boy Bozo BoJo, Brexitania's Jackass Cod Churchill leading his country from one disaster to the next and utterly incapable of getting a single thing right in a career of failure, incompetence, waste and stupidity.

    At least we can be thankful for one small mercy, no more asinine bombastic rhetoric about how fucking successful BrokendownbrexshitBritain will be. The reality is before us: queues, shortages, bankruptcies, unemployment, higher taxes and smouldering discontent.

    The fuckup jackass clown PM proves what he has always been, a fuckup jackass clown.

    You are conflating different articles and coming up with bollocks...a common trait.

    The Spanish mutation prompted many countries in Europe to enforce strict quarantine for Spanish arrivals. In fact, our Spanish project partners have not been allowed to work in Germany since August.

    The 80% of new cases is in fact 60% of the new cases in London and the reason for the tier 4 restrictions.

    It is a pity such travel restrictions were not put in place immediately when the virus was first discovered in China. Worse that travel restrictions were not fully enforced by the UK over the summer.

    Please tell us again, why you applied, and failed to gain entry to broken Britain for you and the wingman?

    Which crystal ball did you use to predict Armageddon for the uk this time? Was it the Tower of London snow globe you received as a civil service retirement gift? lol

    You really think he's going to cut that out?

    What else would he be left with?

    It would be like fat chas without his ad hom.

    And the frankly unsettling way he does that 'pensioner down with the kids' 'lol' thing.

    I'm not sure if this lecture has been posted before, but worth repeating it.



    This is later than the one from Keele but much the same content.

    It is one that Prag and SA should watch carefully, for different reasons.

    ^^^ The UK had about 1 month advantage over Europe in March and squandered it. They didn't learn from the mistake in the summer with Spain. The enforced isolation is a good thing but probably after the horse has bolted.

    Brexit and Covid have more to offer before the year's end. I can't see it getting any better in 2021, at least not the first helf.
