174 trucks sat waiting. Did I hear correctly there were 10,000 a day that passed through On average? And we’ve 174 stuck? 

Listening to the radio before there were 20 miles of tailbacks and impending food and medicine shortages 🤒🤒🤒🤒 
what a load of bollocks. We are nation of bedwetters. 

News this morning said there were several thousand.

I assume they're either heading to that airfield or they been bulldozed into the sea.

Yes. Apparently only Denmark is doing more genome work.

Lots of good folk all over the place.

I used to supply the Wellcome Genome Sanger centre place a few years back, and that is some facility.

The amount of money spent on research is eye-watering.

We are the best in the world at that, no doubt.

I’m in Spain, landed Saturday night. All is open, as it should be.

This is just fucking daft now, rules are all over the place, no fucker knows what's going on with this tier system. 

Are you not just fancying a long Christmas break?

Agreed although I would suspect it’s far closer to the 174 than thousands camped out on the motorway spread over 20 miles. 
 

doesn’t get people to click a headline 174 trucks does it really.

What Boris said? Probably

They’ve already flip-flopped once this week and now they’re boasting about a removable barrier. They’re beyond a parody.

the world is shutting its doors to us, millions have just been put into a greater tier than existed a few days ago, yet the Boris Apologists are calling the public for bed-wetting?!? Wow 🤣🤣🤣

There are indeed many out there. Sir Keir seems quite content to head up this grouping.

They said they'd turned a load round didnt they?

Fewer lorries there now than this morning.

Medicine works both ways, its needed both ways, fucking wet wipes.

Yep. I used to have a client who had a chain of chemists. He also had a wholesale drugs licence. Made most of his money exporting. Used his quotas to the max and made his money that way.

Less carbon emissions to keep XR happy, and by the time it's cleared eventually, Spider's steel will be enroute.

I have it on good authority that government scientists created this new strain deliberately to cause more strife.

Fun fact that I learnt today, Grant Shapps brother was a member of Big Audio Dynamite and their cousin was in The Clash.

Reckon I'm going to get checked picking the kids up on boxing day!

I've enough holidays to have 3 whole months off 😃

I just want some life back, best I've got at the moment is a dog walk.

I did 10k on the bike (internal) this morning and a 30 minute workout this afternoon. 

I can't even be arsed wearing any decent clobber, I've been in walking/outdoor gear since March.

Something has got to give. 

....and I've watched 2 xmas films today, I'm all Christmas-ed out now 🤪

Just drink pal it’s getting me along.... just 

[Not in Crawley]

Why not just plonk us all in tier 4? Its everywhere. We're all going to be there end of this week anyway.

I have it on better authority that Boris can’t even spell the word scientists

Presumably he also has been given an additional two day's holiday like so many public sector workers- he'll be wasted.

Presumably that's why his books are about other subjects.
