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.

Very true but they are not all "40 tonne motorhomes" there are also large numbers of "white vans" and 7.5 tonne box vans so popular with Poles  and they wont have luxury living accommodation.

"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  in not the too distant future

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.
