    I thought most of our food from overseas comes by boat.. containers and ate then trucked out from there, or by air!

    The PM referred to the 80% of driverless freight as the 'vast majority' which is more hyperbole. (A vast majority iis actually 90+)

    That 80% of containerised goods is generally non perishable items such as car parts, Chinese electrical goods, etc. The remaining 20%, carried in lorries, is more likely to be perishable goods such as Italian tomatoes, Spanish citrus fruits, French vegetables, etc.

    I would imagine our lads will now be bright enough to do the same so we will be fine. The Froggies can stick there garlic up their hoops.

    We had to run a blockade at Calais once but that was port employees acting up ...

    ... I just put my foot down and drive straight at the barricade.

    Mrs Smug was well impressed!!!!

    It won't happen though, this was all totally predictable ...

    how was it predictable while we are still in negotiations for him to ban his own trucks going back to France for a new corvid strain that was from South Africa, and only spotted by the British as we have the technology to detect it, same as Novichoik, Ebola Aids and Monkey pox

    When the 6000 lorries don’t arrive in France with the goods they want because of their government let’s see how long it lasts before they kick off, don’t worry it won’t be long.
