It could take days to clear the backlog of lorries waiting to cross to France, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says.
Drivers have been warned they may have to spend Christmas in their cabs.
About 4,000 lorries are parked at Manston Airport in Kent, with another 2,300 being held on the M20 after the French closed their border with the UK.
Politicians are such bastards. Emmanuel Macron, the effete, wealthy President of France, played politics and condemned thousands of working class drivers, desperate to get home and be with their families for Christmas, to a Christmas stuck in a cab in Kent. I hope that when they get going they pass by the Elysee Palace and let him know what they think.

Drive down and give them some Xmas Cheer then , some bon homie with your french counterparts

What more could any red blooded Lorry Driver want 🙂
Listen, I’m knackered. I’ve worked every day since late November and was in work at 5.00am this morning to feed you fat bastards.
So now I’m going nowhere and doing nothing for the next few days. I will live on booze, turkey, sprouts, stuffing, chocolate, mince pies and more booze. The furthest I’ll be going is from the sofa to the fridge.
I know, I’m about to find out what it’s like to be employed by the state.
Yay sprouts
I cancelled my Christmas plans to soend it with some friends and despite an offer from my brother to go to his family I won’t do it (even though I think technically I am permitted) I will be doing the same as Pete but without the sprouts !

So you have sage and onion stuffing in the US? If not you are so deprived.
I forgot to buy some stuffing yesterday. I’m not going out now so I might have to try and make some. Never done it before. Just mash up some breadcrumbs with whatever leftover bits of veg I’ve got in the fridge I guess ?
Colm and everyone else who can still get to stores, see if you can get a bottle or 10 of Pineau des Charentes. I seriously recommend this drink from SW France that I discovered only recently but have become addicted to since. It’s civilisation in a glass. Drink with ice alone or as aperitif any day of the year

We do have that stuffing here, it’s my favorite thing
Noel
Somehow I don’t think my local stores here in rough inner city South London are likely to have that French delicacy. I’ll have to stick to making my own cocktail concoctions with whatever is in my booze cupboard !
My missus makes here own and as two of our brood are veggies she makes a sausage meat one & a veggie one. It’s my favourite part of Christmas dinner.
What a contrast with Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Nothing effete about him.
