Yes. Just that your tweet is ridiculous. The only reason to not have truckers living for days on the roadside is because of a possible TV moment.rick_chasey said:

I mean, there is an obvious physical challenge and there are reasons for why they would want to be closer to dover.TheBigBean said:

They'll all just queue on a different bit of motorway, maybe at Clacket Lane Services. Dartford will become even more of a bottle neck. If this ever comes to pass that is. They haven't even built up the capacity at the actual port let alone the internal holding points.TheBigBean said:

Operation Stack/Brock has always prioritised perishable goods. Why would that change now or are you trying to spread misinformation?pblakeney said:

It always amuses slightly that Brock is the Ulster word for waste food.

I really dont understand this. When I go to the ferry I have a ticket. Just have the lorry on a booked ferry slot and dont issue more tickets than customs can cope with. It's that simple. Isn't it?0

It's a huge number of lorries turning up with no "ticket"

I'm sure the big shiping firms will stop routing RoW-UK containers through europort anyway.
Market economies usually rebalance this kind of disruption.0 -

He won't. I grew up in the area and saw the first implementation of Operation Stack as a child and have seen or been disrupted by many of the other times it has been used.kingstongraham said:

The worst disruption being in 2014 or 2015 when the asylum seekers were disrupting tunnel train movement and it was in place for the majority of a 45 day period.0 -

Given most of the restaurants have just said they'll open an hour earlier to compensate for closing an hour earlier, perhaps this government is actually trying to get the UK, bit by bit, to be put on central European time
i.e. a massive brexit betrayal. 1 -
Just had a meeting with our advisors and touched on Brexit. Apparently one of their 'experts' is saying that one outcome of us going back on the NI protocol could be ROI having to partially dislocate itself from the single market. I will try to find out more, but if true, could this end up being a case of 'he who laughs last, laughs longest'?

This was part of our regular coordination meeting with the lead partner so counts as 'business development'. Even if it did cost, it could turn out to be priceless for the outrage it will cause on here if this is right and comes to passtailwindhome said:

It also re-opened intermittently for a few hours before closing again when the migrants breach security so it became a capacity issue which caused the queues rather than a total blockade.0 -
Do you think if the single market were needed to change as a result of the UK going back on its agreement regarding Brexit, that the EU will allow that to be consequence free for the UK?Stevo_666 said:
