Does anyone know how it has affected France calais or are we the only ones to suffer?

seems to be like a rehearsal of a no deal Brexit.
 
Brexit stockpiling caused 10 miles tailbacks on the A16 in France, back in early December.

Apparently Calais is pretty deserted at the moment. Nobody will risk being stranded in the UK at Christmas. Any goods that were due to come here, can probably be sold on the other side.
 
Was down ashford last night , was 700 lorries stacked on the m20 , seen it worse
they have been practicing for months with day long stack ups
 
Ill wager this is the first time you have heard of stack , in june july they set up the inside lane ready to stack hgvs on the m20 , stick to what you know pal
they know its coming why wouldnt they practice it

There are 40 countries now applying travel bans to the UK. Bit harsh to blame just the French.
I'd have thought that this new variant of Covid would be all over the uk by now (so Johnson should place the whole country on Tier 4).
Fairly sure it's spread worldwide by now (just other countries not identifying it as quickly) so probably a bit late to be shutting that stable door but probably understandable.

I've read September, October & November but apparently it diddn't get ddiscussed until December 11th (?).
If it has bee around since September or October and is 65% more transmissable then it's worldwide already.
 
Bet the wannabee immigrants in France are pissed off their journeys over here are being delayed...

Take it how you like:
Collective noun for white, middle-aged, furious-faced men who are heavily concentrated in the vast reaches of England's Brexit heartlands.

Spitting out talking points found in fascist organs like the Daily Mail (or, for those preferring something less intellectual, the Daily Express), gammon exist in a state of perpetual outrage and exasperated "I'm just an ordinary bloke, me" confusion.

Core traits:

- They favour Brexit. After all, it means Brexit.
- Because the Conservative Party and the right-wing media ecosystem have told them to, they reject those things that underpin their jobs, living standards and opportunities: environmental protections, workers' rights, regulations favouring consumers, the European Union, the single market and the customs union. These things also benefit people they don't like (including foreigners and Guardian readers), of course, so they have to go.
- On the off-chance that they're aware of a border in Ireland, they don't know anything about it.
- They dislike multiculturalism and the 'equality agenda', and obsess about 'lefties', immigrants, Jeremy Corbyn ("Would 'e launch a nuke?! WELL, WOULD 'E?!") and the fabled liberal metropolitan elite.
- They hate Muslims, so they voted for the UK to withdraw from a free trade bloc comprising countries made up of white Christians.
- Having spent 40 years bellyaching about the UK's democratic decision to enter the EEC, they are now unbending guardians of its democratic decision to leave.

And there's this...

Ukip have chosen an actual Gammon as London mayor candidate

Dr Peter Gammons, whose Twitter handle is @Gammons4London, follows Dick Braine as another unfortunately-named Ukip politician.

😂😂so you comment on a post you know nothing about & then start insulting white middle age men
stay classy brother
 
I would take the label as a badge of honour should anyone call me such. I am permanently outraged as you can tell from my posts.

Anyway, much better than the left wing alternative, 'woke soyboy'.

It would appear that the Overton Window applies just as much to social attitudes as it does to politics. Anything even slightly to the right of Joe Stalin is now 'far right' or 'facist', when anyone with any judgement can se that fascism is now the preferred operating method of the hard left.

Is it? I don't see how woke would be considered an insult. To me it means not being a cunt.

Depends on your definitions I suppose. I find the concept that a soyboy could possible be right wing to be be quite absurd.

In my world some one who is 'woke' is someone who has taken some perfectly decent and sensible ideas and viewpoints and somehow managed to turn them into some malignant agenda. The ultimate in cuntishness in fact. Not that I am accusing you of that.

I don't think most of the people who use the term thinking it's an insult are capable of putting as much thought into it. It's a new version of PC, which was a new version of right-on.
