Are you worried yet.

Poor truckers running out of food and no help from Kent County Council except one granola bar each. Is this what our country has become? #thirdworldshithole
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE ANIMALS IN TRUCKS?

Are there any animals in the trucks ?

Cheers Guys Ms French okay thanks.
She was in her company Renault and lots of rain today meaning wet and muddy country roads.
Chasing her tail to try and get some sails.
Not going to worry too much with the house sale and will see what the new year brings.

The love in between @Wattie and @Phil the Brit just a few pages back seems such a long time ago.

I have always assumed I would be a complete liability in any war. I have a phobia of guns or to be more exact a gun in someone else's hand. Guns are inanimate objects of engineering precision, humans are deeply irrational and unreliable.

My paternal grandfather was a baker and died in Palestine during WWII. Only recently did we find out he died because he shot himself. I do not know why.

I would always take peace over war. I fear there are those within our own country who would quite happily welcome war over peace, probably whilst morbidly watching from the sidelines.

I've spent my life working in a world of combat jets and missiles and loved every minute if it.

Just seen an opposition MP on the news bashing the gov for not acting quick enough to get trucks to Europe and back and the port open. Eh. Am I missing something.
For disclosure. I don’t vote either way but can’t abide stupidity.

It's probably not stupidity, more posturing for purpose

Depends on how many granola bars are left, then could be bad news for them.

I shouldn't laugh. But I am. I admire Phil's passion, but as @Wack61 asks, do we actually know there are any?

Someone on here in an earlier post said there was animal trucks in the queue.
Surely RSPCA, PETA, Animal Aid or the Humane Society or some other organisation is checking.
Dover IS a port of export of live animals still

I thought someone (in fact I thought it was you) asked if there was. I don't recall seeing an answer but apologies if so.

Phil, we shouldn’t be exporting live animals, full stop. What live animals are transported to Europe, genuinely interested. Apart from quite a few on the Ryan air flights I have been on!

Currently we export calves and sheep. This will be banned when we leave EU.

Yes, it was me and someone a few pages back said there was animals in the lorry queue.

Why? Will the EU still not want them? Genuinely interested.

The farms round here have to pay to get rid of calves. In Europe they are a delicacy. We should eat them if we decide to grow them. My kids grow carrots- they now eat them too.

The challenge with calves specifically is that they are not something we decide to grow. But you need baby cows to get milk. I suspect you know this, however?

Indeed. In my opinion, we have far too many dairy farms in the UK and some of them are clients of mine. They are imprisoned in a weird system.

Speaking of weird this thread has gone into The Twilight Zone in the last few pages

Well that’s as tragic as it gets.
