Yet again French Industrial action has closed the M20 due to Operation Stack.
Why don't we get our own back by holding back all the French registered lorries until all the rest have been cleared?
Or perhaps we should also stop any more French registered lorries entering the country. The French Government have only ever paid lip service to their responsibilities in regard to stopping French industrial action affecting other countries. If we start targeting their nationals perhaps they will wake up.
Imagine living in Dover at present, and enduring the daily misery of trying to work your way round Europe's largest traffic jam. Compounded by the major roadworks on the A20 leading up to ferryport meaning its going to stay that way for the next three months.
Beats me why so many french malcontents think that the best way to express a grievance is to take it out on the British by blockading Calais?. Haven't they realised their government doesn't take a blind bit of notice?
A great start to many British Motorhomers holiday.. NOT
A SeaFrance statement said: "SeaFrance Dover-Calais Ferries is experiencing disruptions to service due to industrial action by on board officers.
"SeaFrance is currently booking all passengers onto alternative crossings with other operators to ensure passengers reach their destination with minimal disruption.
It would seem Dover is open if you can get there. Though the police are threatening to close more of M20 to accomodate lorries.

The trick is to time your holidays so that you make sure you get held up on the French side on your way back, then you've got a good excuse for an extended holiday on the other side
I've always wondered, when Operation Stack is called on the M20, is it totally closed to all vehicles or are non HGV vehicles allowed to pass through past the parked up trucks

According to the Road Haulage Association, the police do not seem to have a plan to segregate the traffic so that those who are not affected by strikes can get to their transport mode.
So basically no...your gonna have to queue with the trucks cars and motorbikes Pete
