I dont see a French conspiracy in this at all.

Not even a tiny bit? It is hard not to, the French do not change their spots. They want their gâteau et mange-le just like the Brits.

There are/were over 4000? comercial vehicles stuck this side of the channel and i suspect not many less in France because of the "Knee Jerk" decision by the French ,

Which really shows how little chance of reducing carbon emmisions we and the EU have in the future,,unless the all govenments wake up to the need for long distance freight to be all containers and put on trains and hauled as most in europe, and if plans ever get put into operation in the UK by electric locomotives for distribution from area "euroports" as Doncaster and others

I dont see a French conspiracy in this at all. A potentially dangerous variant has been discovered here and 50+ countries around the world have shut the door on us until they are more sure whats going on.  . Face it we are international pariahs and I am not at all surprised .

I'm assuming that you've either not read the post from JVB which I was replying to - which to answer your question, was quite definitely blaming youngsters for disposing carelessly of face masks - or you're misinterpreting my post (which I'm sure couldn't possibly be the case! undecided)

Posted on 23/12/2020 11:37

No I have read and perhaps with wider understanding. I have no axe to grind. 

As far as the issue of disposing of masks I can well behave it just as some kids will drop rubbish and some won't. A little daily rubbish builds up along the same route.

With so called adults some do also. If a number use the same route daily it also builds up.

"In this case I do blame other countries, for not checking if they have virus mutations too and for thinking lorry drivers should be used to prevent the spread."

Dont put too much blame on them, the UK is a world leader in identifying virus strains etc, if you remember when all this kicked off the UK was approx 2 weeks behind countries such as Spain , Italy in the number of infections we had etc, now i suspect most of Mainland EU is probably about 2 weeks behind the UK in identifying this particular strain which for sure they all have circulating within their populations now, so just maybe president Macron will have to eat humble pie laughing in not the too distant futurelaughing

everybody is at it undecided

"At the same time, Sweden has introduced an entry ban on arrivals from Denmark mainly in a bd to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread in shopping centres and restaurants in the southernmost county of Sweden, Skåne County, which connects to Capital Region, Denmark by the Öresund Bridge"

Many will have made some provision for a delay. But what length of delay? The larger transport may have sleeper cabs and some provision but we are entering day 4.

I was an HGV driver in the days before sleeper cabs and when sleeper cabs 1st came into being. Believe you me the sleeper cabs were like palaces compared to some of the hovels that passed as transport digs.
