Well done RR, you have just proved a point.

Always happy to help, Vogie. In this particular instance, what point did I prove?

The UK is still technically a member of the EU until 31st December.

 

I think Macron was just having a paddy and throwing his toys out of the pram to prove how big (that's a laugh in itself) and powerful he is.

 

IIRC 24 hours later his mind was changed by French truck drivers.

 

This has nothing to do with Macron, it is only a poor excuse Brexiteers make up.

 

Most European countries closed their airports for UK flights, because of the high infection rate in the UK.

 

Since France is the main entry point for road traffic from the UK, it isn't more than obvious that they closed their border as well.

 

But it gives you a good idea about what can happen after you leave with no deal as Boris insist on.

 

By the way, how is that no deal going ?

The queuing drivers and their passengers have no toilet or washing facilities, many have no access to food and drinks and they have just been left to their own devices by the Government. The army should have been mobilised setting up food kitchens and washrooms along with Covid testing. The Government has behaved shamelessly, poorly and they have demonstrated to the world how grossly incompetent they are.

Napier barracks in nearby Shorncliffe would have been ideal but they're currently unavailable due to another problem in which the French are complicit.
